Phil Collins solo efforts seem 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 that Phil Collins works better 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.

This is one of the funkiest songs that I have ever heard. That horn breakdown is just killer. When I heard this back in '85 (even though I was just 10!), I knew that Phil Collins had soul.

Kinda figured that out on


Just the repeated silliness of "Su su su dee oo!" is tiring and unfunny.

Where are you coming with these old songs from that was avg? Do you have any of my tapes u are watching!!

A Yamaha DX7 was one of those keyboards use in the making of THAT song.

Synths Rules!!!

If I had to pick a favorite Phil Collins song, it would be "Take Me Home".
Sussudio is cool though, especially if you're driving on the highway all by yourself.

Anyone heard Ol' Dirty Bastard's remake of this song?

woogiebear said:

yeah, the roland is definately on that album anyway. David frank is on a few of the tracks, dude was in the system.


If i remember, that album is quite uptempo, and "dont lose my number" is my fav from it

"billy, billy dont u lose my number". Great song.

sherbet ice cream, it rocks!

Love the song...and the album I do prefer Phil w/Genesis though.

how about listening to Sussudio while eating sherbet

You mean, it completely rips off 1999, but so much lamer.

You want a good Phil song, try Mama, that shit will curl your toes.

Fast ot slow song?

Not trying to interrupt, but get the album "sussidio" comes off, which is called "no jacket required". Quite alot of uptempo's on there.


Genesis had one good uptempo called "invisible touch". Very poppy, and of course the fun "i cant dance" was midtempo but kinda funky. "hang in long enough" is my fav phil uptempo though. He doesn't do ''enough'' uptempos personally. Still when he does, they are good. "heat on the street" is good too, though that is one of his social songs, still uptempo though.

It has that creepy synth, like classic Prince.

good Genesis song. It sounds like something Peter Gabriel would come up with.

That song creeps the hell out of me.

psychodelicide said:

me too.....that's why I love it.

I loved this song when I was a kid and I still do. It made sense once I found out that Phil was influenced by Prince and the 1999 album. I read that he would listen to 1999 everyday on the way to the studio. You can tell with the synths, part of why I like the song. Plus it's a fun song but I still don't know what Sussudio means .
