Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite. |

Well he never meant to do anything wrong It's gonna get worse if he waits too long. Billy Billy don't you lose my number 'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you.

Christy, take off your robe. 11/10! Epic! By the way, I think I saw you in the expensive floor seats at one of the 2007 reunion shows. You were fidgeting and frowning for two-thirds of it? |

The Alamo was constructed uniquely and the officer's quarters were marked with only even numbers - because they were against all odds... |

"Singer Phil Collins says there are always more sides to a story, even in Texas history." That is a hanging offense in the Lone Star State. |

By 'expert' meaning insane obsession and believing he was there is a previous life based on 'paranormal energy'. |

On that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and walked from his bunk on the floor of the Alamo up to the observation post on the west wall. William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were up there already. The three gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving steadily towards them. Crockett turned to Bowie with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Jim, are we landscaping today?" |

That Lonely Man There On the Corner is No Son of Mine. He's Throwing It All Away on a Groovy Kind of Love Tonight Tonight Tonight from an Illegal Alien from the Land of Confusion. Against All Odds, I asked her to Take Me Home One More Night and Turn It On Again with her Invisible Touch because she's an Easy Lover, but I was In Too Deep and I Missed Again. You Can't Hurry Love There must be some Misunderstanding In The Air Tonight because I Can't Dance and I Don't Care Anymore. That's All. |

| notmtwain I remember the Alamo: How a psychic cook called Carolyn convinced Phil Collins he's a reincarnated American hero // And what about that early Genesis song, "The Knife"? How does that figure in here? // Ballad of Davy Crockett |

As long as he doesn't just jumped by an all-star Indian tribe. He'd be scared. Big Phil'd be scared. |
