Spooky, I've just literally put Sussudio on iTunes. Love Phil Collins and Genesis.

Not really. I like some of his work, mostly with Genesis though.

Don't believe you. I think everyone secretly likes a bit of Collins in the evening. I bet if you were forced to listen to his stuff for an hour, you'd be hanging out the window...

Excellent choice.

I don't see how you couldn't like Phil Collins.

Nah, I prefer my Andy Williams in the evening. Either him or various Gene Kelly soundtracks.

Do you like Phil Collins?

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.

I do like this one. Though the film's quality probably went towards that.

I do as my dad was a fan. If I start to miss him I listen to some Phil Collins or Genesis and it helps.

I don't know what to think of him. His vocals have clearly been very heavily influenced by Gabriel, and that's a good thing (although a pale imitation overall), but he went all shite in the 80s innit.

His work with Gabriel on 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' is the only stuff featuring him that I can stand. And that's mainly because of Gabriel.
