American Psycho was on tv last night wink
great scene with this mega-yuppie
serial killer who's into Phil
Collins and Genesis and explaining
this b4 having a 3some (...chainsaw evillol)

"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, uh, 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, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. 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, uh, 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."

neva mind, great scene tho... lol

actually...Phil Collins did model Sussudio after 1999. i remember him saying in an interview that he listened to a lot of Prince around that time and that the strings on his song were modeled after 1999.

mmm! well in any case, i've got "sussudio" stuck in my head now, so i gotta put on my copy of no jacket required in order to flush it out. music


i remember a very dark haunting tune from Phil about 10 years ago now but i never heard it again. i think it may have been directed at his dad?? any ideas what it was? and if i can find it on an album? or single?

Phil Collins is a master songwriter. well theres no rules for songwriting, but when it comes to hooks and shit, phil is the man. Every album has many many tracks that are great.
I like his new album testify, it gets better with every listen. ah that title track is amazing. I love how he puts just a little bit of distorted guitar into his music.



Come on, please? He's an ok song writer full stop


ya theres better, but then when u ask how many are better while thinking how many artist there are, well he is a master. his albums are amazing.

Great scene, great movie.

Funny how he sees the 80s as Phil/Genesis, Huey Lewis and Whitney instead of Prince, Madonna and MJ.

at the start you can hear a first cousin vibe there IMHO.Phil Collins upon me really listening to His Stuff pulled a Ray Parker Jr quite a few times.He has a few songs that mirrior alot of other Hits that were out at the time.while I can't stand Puffy He ain't such the Bad Guy upon further listen of some other Artists who have done the very same thing.

I see now. It was the spaces, upper/lower case, periods, and commas that confused. Thank you.
