Who the hell is Phil Collins?

Sorry, but I'm going to have to slap you for that. Who's Phil Collins..... :sniper:

Harlesburg, I'm thankful for this thread, but is there any particular reason you started it?

I don't know either, but frankly I don't care.

I don't know either, but frankly I don't care.

He's the greatest singer there is! Haven't you ever heard In The Air Tonight, Another Day in Paradise, You Can't Hurry Love (that was originally done by the Supremes but Phil Collins' better)? He was even in a movie, Buster. You must have heard of him.

Well youve said it like 5 times in the past week or so.

I do have an admiration for Phil Collins!

Hes always on J2-Music channel

He reminds me of a day of music when i gre w up.

All those who say who quite obviously are younger than 20 or just dont understand.

No.

I understand. Talk to you some other time. Thanks Harlesburg. :fluffle: :fluffle:

Yes and he sung in The Lion King as well!?!

Sorry, havent a clue. What kind of genre of music would you classify his works under?

Hes kind of past that whole Rock and or Roll time with a poppy beat and real lyrics.

Can be high pitched.

To those who don't know, he's a bald-headed fellow who keeps coming up with these cheesy adult ballads. And he used to play drums and sing in Genesis. [refering to the band, not the bible book. eh.] I shall now quote Nerf Herder and their song Feeling bad - "Thought I looked like Henry Rollins [muscular singer/shouter of black flag/rollins band fame], but I still looked like Phil Collins"

he was also a top speedway rider in the 80s

Sorry, havent a clue. What kind of genre of music would you classify his works under?

Pop-Rock. But don't let that put you off. It's really good music. I'll see if I can find You Can't Hurry Love and put it on here.

Yes and he sung in The Lion King as well!?!

Didn't know that. It's been ages since I've seen that movie.

Ohhhh, I don't know....somewhere under absolute shite one would imagine. The bald-headed dwarf that he is. Irritating mindless pap it really is. I can't believe people still like his music. One of the lower points of '80s music, it really was.

uhhhhh.....I can't stand Phil Collin's songs.

You Can't Hurry Love (http://musicmp3.ru/sn.html?ar=886&al=382)

Here's a place where you can listen to it. First you have to register. You just have to type a bunch of random letters for your Name, address, country, state, etc. If you put in random letters for your e-mail remember to put the '@' and the provider. Then you can listen to it by clicking the little speaker next to 'You Can't Hurry Love' in the link. Doesn't take that long, and it's a really good song.

You Sir, have no place on this thread. :sniper:

Ughh... I don;t like Phil COllins. Just doesn't strike a chord with me.

Only 2 posts. Well, you're going the right way to get your opinion respected :rolleyes:. Sorry. Well, a lot of people don't like his music. That's understandable. I love it though.

well, as much as I don't like his music, there are far worse things to listen to. I won't even get started...

CC, i really don't think that you should judge the value of a persons opinion based on their post count.

Huummm... the 80ies...

THAT was the 80ies...

These were times of suffering, without the possibility of hope, just the blackness... and Plastic Bertrand... (he's Belgian, I think)

I could post a link to a clip... but... y'know... I .... I prefer not to... y'know... the 80ies...

CC, i really don't think that you should judge the value of a persons opinion based on their post count.

I wasn't. I was pointing out that with a low post count the person needed to gain the respect of other persons. I didn't think that they were going the right way about it by saying that Phil Collins is crap.

But Phil Collins is crap... :)

BAM!!! No, OL is right. Even if I never heard anything about/of Phil Collins before this day of suffering (remembering the 80ies)!!!

Hey! I wasn't born in the 80ies! So how can I remember?!?!?! :confused:
Unimportant.

A half-decent drummer with a half-decent voice, who writes crappy songs? Naaaah.
Other Genesis members have more talent.

I used to like his solo work and also Genesis back in the 80s. He is very talented and succesful.
I dont care for that type of music anymore, but will say that he was on the top of the world for some time back then.
And he seemed like a genuinely nice person as well.

Phil Collins must die! This man single handedly introduced the worst thing about any 80s song: The gated snare. Plus, his music is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

I love Phil Collins, though sometimes I find it hard to distinguish his solo work from his Genesis material. The lines of demarcation don't seem as clear to me. Then again, I'm a Stevie Nicks fanatic and her solo work and Fleetwood Mac stuff is distinct. To me, at least.

Of coarse I like Phil Collins, he's my dad :) (just his name, he's not the artist, heh)

As for the musician, meh, he's alright. I didn't care for him much, but some of his stuff is better than a lot of the new crap I hear on the radio and see on MTV.

Phil Collins was a fantastic drummer with his time in Genesis (strictly Gabriel era). But can you, for a moment compare Suppers Ready to In the Air Tonight?

He never had a train come out of his mouth when singing.
Hence he is nowhere near as talented as Peter Gabriel.

Also 'Gabriel' is a far cooler surname than 'Collins'. It sounds almost like 'Colons', which is apt considering how I feel about Collin's songs.

Good drummer, bad singer.
Decent showman, but awful songwriter.
Indifferent actor.

Phil Collins is generally revered as an excellent drummer. While not the best-trained singer, he certainly has a unique voice. Personally, I've always been a Genesis fan, and I occaisionally like his solo stuff (In The Air Tonight, Can't Hurry Love, Another Day In Paradise).

If you like Phil collins because of his Genesis stuff then you are obviously too young to remember peter gabriel.
PC was a good drummer and he plays piano and sings like, well a drummer.
Bad shirts and sloppy pop songs don't make a loveable man.
I say again, peter gabriel, the album foxtrot, a flower. If you don't get that I feel sorry for you. ;)

Harlesburg, I'm thankful for this thread, but is there any particular reason you started it?
ya u really freaked me out. when i was just looking through different forums and i saw the title "phil collins" i thought he died or something horrible happened to him. so please make a better title so us fans dont keel over. ooo and by the way he has sung in multiple disney movies, tarzan "Strangers like me" and the lion king. i my self have sung strangers like me and it was alot harder then i thought it would be; pointing out his excelence.

the mysterious shadow: evil jay

Bland, boring, uninspired, commercial 80s/90s pop. May I never hear any of his music again.

I like Phil Collins and his music a lot, but I'm an "oldie" so prefer mostly 70s and 80s music compared to most of what is pumped out today. So much of it sounds the same.

Saw Buster years ago. It was a good movie and I think he did OK in it.

He's nothing next to Peter Gabriel.

he's the drummer on this brian eno album i have. thank god most of it consists of drum machine and african/ latin american percussion.

CC, i really don't think that you should judge the value of a persons opinion based on their post count.
Why on earth not?My Post count is 100 times yours! :p

Sounded much the same as Gabriel. Genesis did go downhill after Wind and Wuthering which was about when Collins did his first shitey love songs.

I just hate love songs and ballads.

I like some of Phil Collins music, not my favourite but i'll listen to it... :)

Phil Collins is great!
A couple of his songs I could do without, but mostly he was/is very, very good.

'Take a look at me nowwwwwwwwwwwww!
theres just an empty spaaaaaaaaaaaaace
an you comin back to meeee!!
is against all odds
and thats the chance I have to taayke!!'

Ah the music...

Why on earth not?My Post count is 100 times yours! :p

Yeah, but you live in New Zealand. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but you live in New Zealand. :rolleyes:
Yeah but you Hit and Run!
BLOODY PARTHIANS!!!! :mp5: ;)

Peter Gabriel sounds familiar who though?

I'd prefer hearing a massed kazoo rendition of 'Against All Odds' over Phil's version anyday.
