I can feel it coming in the air tonight…
Oh lord…
I think his song That’s all is a great song!
There are 2 different Phil Collins. I really like the prog rock drummer and writer of “Mama”. That same year, I couldn’t stand the Phil Collins that redid “You Can’t Hurry Love”. His work with Genesis was awesome and he really was a great drummer during a time period that generated some phenomenal drummers like Buford, Palmer, Bozzio, Peart, Katche (a bit later), etc.
I saw this on somebody’s blog. LOL
“I heard that 9/10 civillised countries have voted to ban Phil Collins from getting an entry visa on the grounds that he absoultely sucks crap. This may or may not be true, but it would be nice if it were true, unless you live in the same country that he does.”

Man i fucking hate pink floyd.
I think what u mean is pink floyd makes phil collins sound like Nickleback?
[/quote]
pink floyd maybe was a bad choice, Zeppelin? Rush? pre-1990s Metalica?
Anyone watch Top Gear UK? Find this thread about Genesis funny?[/quote]
I love Pink Floyd. Granted they ceased to exist after the Final Cut, but between Piper and Final Cut, I really liked them. Of course, I have to understand now Floyd is old people music, but that’s just so hard to conceive.
And Top Gear UK is awesome! Love it!

Oh dear God No! Phil Collins is a sort of ok drummer at best.
These MF’ers are great drummers:
Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd…Yeah!
Wasn’t Jimmy Page pissed off at Phil for fucking up when he sat in with Zep at Live-Aid? Apparently Phil didn’t think he needed to rehearse ahead of time.
lol

You’re preaching to the choir. Weckl is my favorite drummer, ever. I’ve listened to Joe’s Garage about 1000 times, and I still get goosebumps when I hear “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover”.
But the guys you mentioned are session drummers. They are the Delta Force of drummers, the best of the best, the guys who get called in to fix things other people have fucked up, or just to kick ass.
That’s not Phil Collins and that’s not the role of most drummers. Collins was a great drummer in a great band. You can’t really fault him for not being more than that. It would be like saying Mariano Rivera is a lousy pitcher because he doesn’t throw complete games.

Yes and the thing is all these drummers shit all over Phil collins…especially Manu.
In fact Manu Katche belongs in the other delta force category you made with Weckl etc. His feel, dynamics and pocket playing are fuckin’ sublime and he sessioned all over the show with different bands.
Collins Isn’t fit to even be his drum tech.

Mama is a great song; I also love “Do you know do you care?” and “Take me home”. He’s been doing cheesy ballads for a long time though…

But then, as Mr Shugart informs us, the best selling product tastes like vanilla.

I just checked it out on youtube…yeah, pretty catchy.
To get an idea of my taste (or lack thereof) I completely love Everyone Have Fun Tonight with absolutely no irony.
