Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
I love this song he did with Genesis:

And I pretty much love all the songs on Invisible Touch....

But these three are my very favorites:

Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Some of my favorites of his solo career:
(Best, most memorable drum fill ever)

(Nancy trivia: this was the first music video I ever saw - I wasn't allowed to watch MTV at the time, but I snuck down into the basement during my older sister's birthday party and saw this video and Toni Basil's "Mickey" before getting caught)

(This song is so emotional - magnificent!)

As I mentioned before, I pretty much love all of No Jacket Required:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0qBaBb1Y-U[/ame]
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y8WKiMKBVY[/ame]
But my very faves from that are:

Some ones I love from But Seriously:

And this beautiful soundtrack song is another very emotional song I love:

Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
He thinks people hate him because at the height of his success in the 80s he seemed to be everywhere (similar to the backlash against the Bee Gees).
This is my favourite Phil/Genesis song:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDRXbP1MaY[/ame]
Followed closely by the magnificent 'Spitting Image' video of another great song:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlBIa8z_Mts[/ame]
However a lot of the songs I like are more obscure. I love That's All, Misunderstanding & Turn It On Again; but I also love some of the less well known songs from the We Can't Dance album - Fading Lights, Driving The Last Spike, Dreaming While You Sleep.
But on his own he never bettered the angst of his first solo album Face Value:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkADj0TPrJA[/ame]
which led one to believe his solo albums would be quirky & deep like his ex-colleague Peter Gabriel's. He decided to take the commercial route instead, but he still released some great songs:
This gorgeous version of the Mindbenders classic:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsC_SARyPzk[/ame]
And probably my second favourite solo song after ITAT (you should recognise the guitarist):
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcY3FH208l8&feature=relmfu[/ame]
And this; I do tend to prefer his 'darker' material:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLpfbcXTeo8&feature=relmfu[/ame]
But I love songs like Take Me Home, This Must Be Love, If Leaving Me Is Easy, One More Night, Like China, You Know What I Mean, Thru These Walls, Long Long Way To Go, etc.
ETA: I see Soda & I have posted a couple which are the same but I will leave them. In the case of In The Air Tonight it is probably in my Top 30 songs of all time.
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
What?! Phil can't retire! I love the songs Land Of Confusion, In The Air Tonight, and Tonight Tonight Tonight.

I posted so many songs repeats were inevitable - but I couldn't stop myself! So many great songs. I agree with you that In the Air Tonight is amazing.
EF - I'm with you! I don't want him to retire. :(
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Just read on the internet that he ISN'T retiring, rather taking an extended vacation (although I doubt it will be 14 years!). He's had surgery recently for the nerve damage to his left hand and needs time to recoup. I'll look forward to future work and appearance by Phil.
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Thank goodness!
I hope everything's OK with him. He sounds really depressed and down on himself in that interview. Little wonder many media outlets reported that he was retiring.
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Here a massage vom PC from his webside, it is from yesterday.

Yesterday I had also read he wants to retire, and I as a huge Genesis / Collins fan was not pleased with this news!But luckily it is not right!:pray:
An amount of my favorite songs from him and Genesis are already posted but some are still missing this must be changed!:laugh:
