Mel Collins for me. The only time Phil Collins has impressed me with his drumming was with his brief tenure in Brand X, while just about all of Mel's King Crimson catalog simply floors me. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

Phil up to 1980. After that, I'd like to dynamite all his MTV videos. Mel had his moments, but they were moments. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| Not noticing the placement, I say with a certain insincerity, I thought this would be about Joan "shake your bootsy" Collins. Voted for Mel. |

Mr. Phil. Despite getting kind of sappy in his later years. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

Mel. He made a HUGE difference to Camel's sound when he was with them. Phil Collins' solo stuff does nothing for me.

Did Phil Collins even pretend that his solo work would be prog rock/jazz fusion? No! Was he responsible for the simplification/commercialisation of Genesis - partly, but Rutherford and Banks were also complicit. The prog rock community has been unfair to Collins - who hired Chester Thompson on the strength of his work on Zappa's 'Roxy and Elsewhere' and nearly persuaded Alphonso Johnson to join as well - imagine that!! |

You think like I do.   I actually voted for Phil, but if he were listed, I would have voted for Albert.------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Mel Collins for staying pure (although he's had plenty of guest starring roles on albums from Gerry Rafferty to Tears for Fears). ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Phil Collins was among the best Prog drummers alongside Bill Bruford. I voted for Mel Collins for the entirety of his career. Phil is a "was". Mel is an "is". I'd like to say otherwise. Phil hasn't been a Prog drummer for a very long time. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie.

Agree. Phil Collins comes behind no-one as a drummer, not even the great Bill Bruford. But he lacks the power of Jon Hisemanīs but is more versatile and very very fluid. He can play anything on drums. His work on the classic GENESIS albums and live, particularly on The Pound and The Lamb is simply sublime. GENESISī biggest mistake was letting Phil go for lead vocals. His voice is weak and I personally canīt stand it although he was the perfect match with Peter Gabriel in singing harmonies. He should never had left the drum kit. Mel Collinsī career continues till today, he has recently played with such greats as Arti + Mestieri, the Italian fusion masters. His career is something else. I voted for the best drummer in Rock, and his beautiful harmony singing as well. ------------- You may see a smile on Tony Banksī face but thatīs unlikely. |
