Phil Collins vs Nick Mason

Phil Collins is a better drummer but I can't stand his face, do you remember the video of "On the air tonight"? He looks like Death in a Bergman's movie...I feel more sympathy for Mason and the butterfly on his t-shirt at Pompeii (well it was in London but the director didn't tell).

Out of his band Mason produced (and signed) a Carla Bley album and a not so bad collaboration with 10cc's Fenn. Think to what Collins did alone.

Mason never danced with a high-pitched disco performer.

Collins is a great drummer, the problem is that he write songs and sings them. If he was limited to drums he'd have received my vote. 

Don't ask me if I prefer Picasso or Bowie as painter. (because I prefer Bowie )

Last but not least, Nick Mason has still some hair. Phil Collins doesn't.

 

Never heard this before. Sounds interesting. Could you tell something else about?

 

That's a good answer. As Wakeman said once, the true about a performer is the live performance. Mason is not bad, but Collins is one of the best.

I don't think that Nick Mason ruined anything at all. I have been a Pink Floyd fan since 1972 and I can't hear anything on their albums that might make me think so. Nevertheless, I think that Phil Collins is the most skilled of these two drummers and therefore I abandon my default behaviour of voting for Pink Floyd in this poll.
