Phil Collins rulez

I've tried to just look past post-Wind Phil....but, when I think about it, he IS the Benedict Arnold of prog.  I think the little weasle played possum with his true intentions.....play some jazzy chops and drive the Genesis machine until it collapsed.  Then, pick up the pieces, pen some poppy pap and become a household name by winning over the housewives/househusbands. 

I can't believe he runs down precisely what his oldest fans respect most.  Pipsqueak!

But he's one hell of a drummer

He seems to be repenting of that lately.  He didn't run down Brand X becasue he wasn't trying to make that music more accessible to make money on.  He was doing that with Genesis.  Now that it is no longer necessary to distance the band from it's past he has kinda been nostalgic like playing with the Musical Box in Geneva and writting the forward to their program this Lamb tour.

Phil sucks

If I can hear him singing in a department store while I buy underwear- he sucks

Oh yeah- Anime- uhhh kinda childish/dorky

I like the first two GENESIS albums. There's no Phil.  The reason I like them, is not the absence of Mr. Collins, but as I realized this later, it strengtened my views, that there's something in this performer that displeases me. '

BUT. Just my opinnion.

I saw an ad about his forthcoming "The first farewell tour". I wondered, how many of such tours he's going to have?
