I don't like Phil Collins..

I like another day in paradise
I wish it would rain (down on me)
Man on the corner
I can't dance
True colors
driving the last spike .

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, uh, 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.

Of course!

Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply "Whitney Houston" had 4 #one singles on it?

It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves.

but Land of Confusion by Genesis has to be my favorite 80s song ever..

random thought.

Yuck. The video was entertaining, but just because of those creepy lifelike puppets.

In the Air Tonight's a great song to learn drums on though...

No. It's on "Invisible Touch". There is a big difference between the "Genesis" album and "Invisible Touch". Phil became a superstar in between and the music became drivel. "Genesis" is an excellent album that includes...

That's All
Home By The Sea
Mama
Illegal Alien

...excellent songs and nothing like the crap on "Invisible Touch".

I realize that many people on this board only know Genesis and Phil Collins from what they did from 1984 onwards, and that's too bad.

i do not like phil collins at all

Peter Gabriel is embarrased to be associated with Phil and that's why he wants no part of a Genesis reunion

Permission to puke?? or was this a wind up?

Genesis? Everything up to Trick of the Tale was superb but after that all a bit mediocre and sometimes downright embarassing.

Phil Collins - bald ugly fucker that should thank Peter Gabriel for his success.

I'm trying to listen to the new Robert Palmer album.........

decides2dream

you clearly need to listen to more 80s music so as to make a more informed decision. the 80s, the prime of my youth........new order, ministry, the b-52s...the police...the clash....the pretenders....big audio dynamite......peter gabriel...i could go on and on.


and yes, after trick of the tail....genesis got too 'collin-esque' for my tastes.......give me gabriel-era genesis anyday. but on poinbt, yea, sooo much more music to love in the 80s beyond that tune.

The Waiting Trophy Man

i absolutely HATE(i'm using the word "hate" here) that song 'i can't dance'. i swear i better never hear that song when i've been drinking rye. i'll go ballistic. 'against all odds' is one i get stuck in my head, even if i don't listen to it. i don't know if that's the mark of a really good song, or a really annoying song. all i know is i don't know the proper words to it, so i end up making up the words in my head. really ridiculous stuff. i don't know why i continue to do it. i must be beyond the point of insanity. i need to see my doctor. i'm overdue.
