I confess I've never heard of numbers 7 or 9 on this list.
If they're on your device how could you not have heard of them? I'm sure the answer will be obvious when you give it.

This is easy. I Don't Care Anymore, Do You Know, Do You Care & Thru These Walls, Always 'angry Phil' for me.
However both Like China & Why Can't It Wait Til Morning, which haven't received any votes yet, are right up there.

Wow, I am really enjoying this book. Steve paints such a vivid picture of living in post-war London. A lot of details resemble a lot what my parents told me about their childhoods: bombed out house ruins inviting kids to explore them despite the danger, the smog and the careless belief in technical progress with utter ignorance of any toxic side effects of factory fumes, the dire need of that time for an escape in a sound movie world to forget the horrors of the war, cruel teachers at school who would get violent for no apparent reason (for a kid's mind that is) and the scary kids who had to see too many things they could not cope with in their young age so they developed strange habits, etc. This is living history.
I've finished it (only took a couple of sessions). I don't see the need to add a spoiler alert as there are no shocks in it.
You're right about his descrpition of his childhood, which I found similar to Phil's. His health problems and up & down relationship with his parents were well documented.
But after that it got to usee Foxfeeder's word, lightweight. There was no new light shed on the Genesis years and it must be said that his attention to Mike Rutherford added up to maybe one page in the entire book. Particularly strange was a passage when he was talking about the band members' favourite music & he says 'Mike loved Joni Mitchell' in a one sentence paragraph which seems to suggest derision. He is very positive about the others.
His personal life was just skated over. There was quite a bit about an early girlfriend who was a drug addict. I didn't even know he was married to a German woman & had a son called Oliver. The Kim Poor marriage was ignored except for 'legal proceedings' concerning the divorce.
He's very interesting about his solo work & how he approaches songwriting & playing, but I would have liked to know more about what made him decide to start singing, as he wasn't know for that. The 'spritualism' stuff where he claims to be able to cure headaches & suchlike I found somewhat strange. His feelings about world events & other musicians are well told.
So I would rate it well behind Phil's & Mike's books overall.
