 Topic: Collins better than Gabriel?
Posted: February 07 2006 at 18:56 |
|
Ken Marino, in his review of Selling England by the Pound says that Phil Collins' voice is so much nicer to listen to than Peter Gabriel's. I think this is ridiculous. Your views?

I actualy prefere Phil Collins Voice. Even though Collins was better,
he didn't know how to use it as much as Gabriel did, which I think made
Gabriels seem better.

Exactly. Collins is only better on the drums.

The reality is that Genesis was two different bands; Pre & Post-Gabriel. Some will argue that after Steve Hackett left they were a third band. You have to decide if you liike any or all Genesis, regardless of the singer (or drummer).
I generally like Genesis from Trespass to Invisible Touch. But I do prefer Gabriel-Era Genesis.

Gabriel is much better for sure ... and I've never heard him playing the drums. Maybe he's better in that field as well.

I've not heard too much of Gabriel so I can't really say, but I think Phil Collins is an amaing singer.

I do like Collins voice, but prefer Gabriel as (lead) Genesis vocalist -- he's more interesting in his sound, and, I find, can convey more varied emotion (pathos, humour, menace, eeriness, etc.).
(And of course live, Gabriel was/is a much more dynamic, charismatic performer.)

In terms of singing, this poll is a non starter, Gabriel blowes Collins into the weeds, and almost all other singers as well. But collins was a great drummer, I just wish he stayed behind the kit.
