No Jacket Required is the third solo album by English singer-songwriter Phil Collins, released on 25 January 1985. The album was named after an incident at The Pump Room in Chicago, where Collins was denied admittance to the establishment because of his attire. No Jacket Required features guest vocalists, including Helen Terry, Peter Gabriel and Sting. Some of the songs, like "Don't Lose My Number" and "Sussudio", were based around improvisation. Other songs, like "Long Long Way to Go", had a political message. "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Don't Lose My Number", and "Take Me Home" were released as singles, with corresponding music videos. All four singles were top-ten hits in the Billboard Hot 100, with "Sussudio" and "One More Night" reaching number one. The three singles that were released in the UK all reached the top 20 on the UK charts.
Only heard of his name before, but not his music! Though I'd probably recognize a lot of his songs if I heard them.
I haven't heard this album but I know some of the songs from the tracklist. I should definitely listen to it since the title track is totally awesome and stuff.

I respect Bob Dylan, but I am completely uninterested in basically all of his music. So yeah I don't know any songs from this.
