Any Phil Collins fans out there?
 

I know, that in recent times it's almost a sin to admit that somebody likes Phil Collins but I am courageous enough to say it: "I'm a fan of Phil Collins". Recently I've bought his DVD release "The First, The Last Farewell Tour" and must admit that after watching it few times, I have even more respect for the man. I know his music with Genesis but no matter how hard I tried to convince myself to like it, still I prefer his solo work. I don't know what it is, but there's something special in his Pop approach. It's just Pop music, nothing more, but today we don't get as many good Pop albums as "Face Value" or "But Seriously". His voice is decent at best but his knack for writing memorable melodies cannot be denied. Some might say that "One More Night" or "Two Hearts" are just plain commercial stuff but in my opinion it's Pop music at its very best. It just puts me into a good mood, especially during cold, Polish winter:) I have Phil's all solo albums, even his most recent Motown tribute album and even if it sounds a bit uncool I will say one more time: "Yes I am a fan of Phil Collins" :)

Su Su Sue Me O, for not being a fan....:lol:







There were a few songs I liked, back in the day....
In The Air Tonight
Mama?
The other drum song, that sort of sounds like In The Air Tonight(title eluding me)....:confused:

Aw Phil. Loved him in Genesis. Abacab and Duke are his masterpieces with them. His first 2 solo albums also masterpieces. he lost me with No Jacket required. He never rocovered from that.

Fantastic drummer. My Favorite.....even beating out Mick Fleetwood:nod:

Nope :p:)!!!!!

I like his stuff in Tarzan. :shrug:

I've got two ears and a heart, don't I?



Edit: To clarify for non-30 Rock fans---er, no, I'm not.

ouch poor phil:laugh: I like you guy:laugh::D

Mick

I like him .also in Genesis.

I like him about as well as I like blood in my urine.

Sorry, the Xanax hasn't quite kicked in.

I hate those two as well! And you can also add to my list of "artists to get depressed by" - Coldplay and Dido!

Homer - That pun is GENIUS! Good work! :laugh:

I'm not a Phil fan at all. I really can't bear him, other than In The Air Tonight and a couple of ones with Genesis (Jesus He Knows Me).

ughhhhh no! For me that's the worst one and I'm still enraged that that song beat the wonderful Aimee Mann to an Oscar (she was nominated for her work in Magnolia).

I LOVE Phil Collins and I LOVE "No JAcket Required", such a great albume (no matter what ANYONE says). Poor Phil has been suffering serious bouts of depression lately, I don't think he realizes the impact he had on pop music of the 80's. VERY underrated performer IMHO.
