3. Against all odds

We had almost an identical list! I opted for Sussuido instead of something happened on the way to heaven.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

I might be too young or something to know him/genesis well, even though I do know a lot of the music from the same time period so it's king of weird, but I'm going to have to go with the 2 biggest ones I know (Land of Confusion, In the Air Tonight)

Oh and the Tarzan one

 

[Sweater of AV]

1. Blood on the Rooftops
2. Man on the Corner
3. Land of Confusion
4. No Son of Mine
5. In Too Deep

 

[Lonesome Crow]

You left out I Wish It Would Rain Down, which is kinda of a major fail given that Eric Clapton plays guitar on that track.

 

[Chad The Limey]

Would’ve voted for -

I Missed Again
Abacab (Genesis)

If they’d been listed

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

1. In too deep

If you’ve never taken the time to familiarize yourself, do yourself a favor and listen to his “best hits” album on YouTube. It’s worth the time.

@Jackonfire fun fact, one time at a college I was shit faced and left a party with a Russian tortoise that was given to me because they didn’t want to take care of it anymore.

I named it Phil Collins.

I can see it...

How did that work out? I know some tortoises can get pretty big.

The Russian ones don’t grow that much. I had the same question when I woke up the next day. Basically, he did great for a few years then I gave him to my nephew. Was fun for a bit but I mean it just kinda sits there it doesn’t really do anything. Didn’t swim. Just kinda...sits there. It was bizarre.

But yeah I’m glad it didn’t grow. You could hold the thing in your palm easily

 

[Steve-French]

I never really cared for Phil Collins. I don't hate him and I respect him as a musician, but I never wanted to buy any of his CDs or anything. I like In the Air Tonight I guess, but that's about it. That song still kind of weirds me out though.

When I was in High School every year before prom they would show this video in every classroom of a bunch of local kids that were killed in drunk driving accidents over the years; but they would show the pictures of them after they were dead at the scene of the accidents too. Like a before and after slide show. In the Air tonight was the song that was in the background.

 

[burningspear]

The Genesis ones. His solo career was awful. Warm moist cornball.

 

[MRT]

Many great tracks, hard to rank, but I like TS' list...maybe a nod to Easy Lover and Invisible Touch too.

The tail end of his 'No Jacket Required' tour hit Toronto, which was my very first 'real' concert at the ripe old age of 12

 

[TeTe]

My wife is huge Phil Collins fan. To the point it annoys me she plays his stuff so much.

We did see him in Vegas two years ago though, he put in a good show even though he can't drum anymore.
