Ok pal, name a single Prog' song in Phil's solo career?
If not, then send him to Pop Archives, because that's the music he was playing as soloist.

And just to nitpick - or maybe not - he wasn't an original member of Genesis. He joined on the third album, Nursery Cryme, along with Steve Hackett.

I've heard "Face Value", "No Jacket Required" and "But Seriously" and must say it is American Radio freindly POP with Ballads, Jazzy Pop, and Electro Elements but no more than that, PROG no way o - zay.

Of course, he's better than Michael Jackson, but this is not enough reason to his inclusion.

That should be the ONLY reason for inclusion

Changing one's style is not the same as progressing, especially when the change involves reverting to a set of pre-existing pop clichés. No progression where there's no innovation. It's possible to be innovative within a pop format, Eno, Gabriel, Kate Bush and David Sylvian, for example, can do that, but I wouldn't include Collins or later Genesis in that category.
Ohhhh, you can't hurry love, nooohhhh, it's just got to wait!!!!....

Of course it was, as we have already discussed many times...blame (if you wish, I don't) Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford as well for that!
Totally agree

Phil Collins had some great post-Genesis songs. I personally am
not much of a fan of his music, but he definitely deserves
respect. Inclusion on this site (as a solo artist), however,
should not and will not ever happen.

Phil Collins has done such a great job, whether you like it or not. He
can play and write music what he wants to, without listening to
anyone's opinion.
Even me, I stop buying Genesis post ATTWT and I am not interested to collect his albums. but I give him credits.

Phil was one of the two best things to happen to Genesis. (Steve Hackett being the other.) I preferred Phil's fluid, athletic stagemanship over Peter's stiff and choreographed stuff. Phil was an exciting drummer as well.
Yet I haven't heard anything from Phil's solo stuff that would qualify for reminiscing on this site. But of course I cannot stop anyone from reminiscing about anything. Nor would I want to be that kind of jerk.
