I agree that his solo stuff for the most part is not up to par with the rest of his career, but you've got to take Phil Collins out of the 1980's context he's been associated with for so long.
Look at his career as a whole:
early-mid 70's: straight Prog with Genesis
late 70's: Jazz Fusion with Brand X (my favorite)
1980's : Genesis' pop phase and his own solo pop career, which was more successful than anything he ever did with Peter Gabriel era Genesis. Which just goes to show the terrible taste in music the general public has! Popular music is for the masses and
just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good.
Obviously Prog is not for everyone.
