Loggins from Messina years to about 1983

vs

Phil from Genesis years up until about 1986-7


I edge Phil because of the Genesis years (they still had some "prog"-ness to them in the end), plus his first solo album is an absolute classic

but I really can't ignore Kenny's excellent first three albums as a solo artist either. For all the schmaltz that both are known for pumping out as solo artists, there were a lot of gems.

Loggins has a real diverse musical palate as well. CELEBRATE ME HOME was real chill and kind of shocking when you consider the music he was doing right before then.

It's a toss up. Fuggit, I'm going with Loggins.

Because I think if Loggins really wanted to, he could be a convincing R&B singer/songwriter as well as what else he's known for.

Collins is an ill producer (I ride for Chinese Wall out of things he's responsible for), but he has a habit to "reach" a lil more.
