[oxx]

Phil Rocks.

I wouldnt have out against all odds in the list,however.

The only white man to take a track on Quincy Jones last solo album - gotta say something.

 

[Sheeds]

Im not really a Phil Collins or Genesis fan but I will make 2 exceptions.

Land of Confusion and Easy Lover with Phil Bailiey= Classic Songs.

 

[littleduck]

One of the rare artists who has never had a dud song. Every single one of them is a hit in its own right. For some wholly inexplicable reason I've always wanted to go to a Phil Collins concert.

 

[Verbeek]

Not particlarly a fan but a friend's dad is a dead ringer. His name is John but we like to call him Phil

 

[Refried Noodle]

Sussidio!

 

[Knowledge]

I was listening to big Phill & Genisis at the age of 6.First music 'cd'(event hough it was a tape) I ever owned

 

[moistie]

The lesser talented musician out of Genesis. Give me Peter Gabriel any day.

We could argue............

We could argue............

Bring it on!!!

Peter Gabriel's early work drops a big brown steamer on anything Phil Collins has done.

 

[toolgirl]

In the Air Tonight

Try the Nonpoint version.

 

[Portmanteau]

American Psycho must've done wonders for his career.

 

[Clark Kent]

I'm laughing my head off right now. Actually had "Groovy Kind of Love" playing when I looked at this thread, and this is the first PC song I've played in about a year. Spooky.

"One More Night" I think, whilst syrupy like many of his songs, is pretty good in isolation. "Hero", sung with David Crosby, is a little gem, too, and not widely known.

Problem I find with Phil is that a lot of his work post from early eighties onwards tended to sound the same.

 

[Stealth bomber]

Phil Collins, progressive rock drummer extraordinaire: very good

Phil Collins, composer of bland, adult contemporary synthesized pop ballads: not so good

 

[Borry]

Has produced countless classics such as:

Another Day in Paradise
In the Air Tonight
Against All Odds

Awesome musician.

Agree, not to mention Sussudio.

 

[year of the roo]

Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, anything Genesis - all rubbish!

Boring, boring music.

 

[bunsen burner]

Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, anything Genesis - all rubbish!

Boring, boring music.

To complete the triffy: Mike Rutherford from Mike and the Mechanics. Worse than the other two put together.

Nothing any good came out of Genesis. Nothing.

 

[raskolnikov]

I'm not a Phil Collins fan, in fact he bores me to tears. However I recently bought a Legends CD which has Against All Odds on it. Just realised what a brilliant song it actually is.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

You know,
there's some good stuff, beneath the dross,
Abacab, is a wicked album, Dodo, nice business
Genesis, Genesis - Home by the Sea

but its the,
and it is hard to type,
dudd, ud, dud, ud, ut, dud, duderlitttttttttttite,
crap
stax horns stuff,
he threw into every second track,
that makes me have to leave the room,
and go to the bathroom.

 

[Baxter Stockman]

Phil Collins and Genesis are ****ing awesome!!!!!
