A few years ago I was obsessed with Miami Vice to the point I wasted money buying those old DVD sets before the recent Blu Ray box set came out lol. I became obsessed with hunting down most of the music used in that show, and I discovered some pretty cool underrated gems due to watching Miami Vice.
Phil Collins' music fit into that show. There are certain scenes in that show that just fit with his music and the same can be said for a lot of songs on there. Russ Ballard's Voices is used in one of the early episodes and that song really sticks out to memory, along with Laura Branigan's Self Control. But with Phil Collins, i always go to that scene from the pilot where In The Air Tonight plays with the black Ferrari going down the street.
That show was really ahead of it's time and they were very critical of the Reagan era foreign policy. There's an entire episode based on the Contras in season 3 that basically uses Crockett as an example of liberals who think that the 1st amendment really matters, and it details a journalist being tracked down by suits in the government to destroy a tape that reveals what the Contras are really doing in Central America, and the series finale was a huge middle finger to the Noriega scandal. MV had it's flaws, as all cop shows do, but they were ahead of their time, and the show also had amazing music in it, Phil Collins or not lol.
