Phil Collins Is Better than Peter Gabriel

Now i have ur attention i think the Phil era was better than the peter era. First dont get me wrong i love the Peter era of Genesis with great albums like Foxtrot and Selling England by the pound but i always seem to gravitate to Phil more than Peter in Genesis and solo projects. I like them both but Phil wins because of 2 factors 1. His singing to me is more accesibile and more natural than Peter and 2. i believe Phil as the frontman fit more than Peter as the frontman it just seemed more lik it belongs. Ik ppl r gnna say the songwriting was better in the Peter era but i think not. Songs like Watcher of the Skies and Supper's Ready are great but its just that Behind the Lines Home by the Sea Mama The Brazillian just sounded better and went with them more if u ask me. Ik im gnna get hate for this and im ready

Im not hating on the Peter era tht wz AMAZIN songs and albums its just the Phil era mainly A Trick of the Tail Duke and the Mama album i lean more towards but i do love both but Phil wins by the thickness of 2 hairs

I don't mean to be rude, but everybody would be much happier if you abstained from netspeak.

Yea i know its just easier to type that way its just how i am but ill try

Wtch is bttr Gbrl or Cllns?  Thrs only 1 wy to fnd out     FGHT!!!

They were both great frontmen for the band in their own right. You say you think Collins had more 'natural power' What exactly do you mean?? One of the concerns the band, including Collins had when he took over from Gabriel is that he may not be able sing with the power that Gabriel delivered in the heavier sections.

Although my favorite Genesis era overall was 76 - 80, I still think Gabriel sung Suppers Ready and Firth of Fifth better than Phil, although instrumentally they were a better band live post PG. In my opinion.
