Do you like Phil Collins?

Post by feedback »

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

He's cool. The live versions of "In the air tonight" are amongst the best music ever made.

I like him on those Genesis-records where he keeps his mouth shut and just plays the drums...i.e. i like the early Genesis with Peter Gabriel way more than the commercial stuff Genesis did later...

Bateman: Ask me a question.
Daisy: What do you do?
Bateman: I'm into... well murders and executions mostly.
Daisy: Do you like it?
Bateman: It depends. Why?
Daisy: Because most guys I know who work with mergers and acquisitions really don't like it.
:olo:
I should purchase that film... it's pretty good.

I loved that book.. :up:

Love the part at the end where he jams that habi-trail with the tortured starved rat into the half dead chicks vagina so the rabidly insane rat can eat her from the inside out.

That’s my favorite. We hear him only singing at the beginning, it’s almost quiet and then he start with his drums. Every time, I am awaiting that part and I pretend to play it.
That’s even the first part I’ve tried to play on my brother’s drums. May be I will show you pics of that time if you want a good LOL at me.
