taaaaaaaaaake meeeee onnnnnnnnn, [more screaming I can't understand]
[some synth keyboard riffs]
No one can do the "In a day or two" line, nobody. Especially not the people who think they're the exception.
The Sun Always Shines on TV is their best song and has an awesome chord change. I was obsessed with this song for years and still rave over that chord change in it.
Their early music videos were pretty cool and I can imagine they were mind blowing to see when they first came out, like this one .
I honestly don't get why people hate on Phil Collins so much and I blame most of it on that stupid South Park episode making fun of him.
Phil Collins' first two albums were great. If you like 80s music, it's hard to go wrong with the singles from there.
Lol, for what it's worth I expected that to be downvoted. Everyone I've met IRL defends him to death. Chapo's full of contrarians i guess.
I personally just don't like Phil Collins. He's talented & everything and I'll give him props for his body of work. Still, I've never been impressed, any good work he's done has been overplayed, and i hate his tinnyish voice.
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.
easy lover is one of the best songs ever made and no one can convince me otherwise
The only song I know by them slaps, and the animation for it is legendary.
Quintessential '80s synth-pop. Just have a listen of their "Headlines and Deadlines" album as they have quite a few great songs; my favourite is "I've been losing you" but I'm a sucker for their cover of "Crying in the Rain".
My dad had cds of Queen, Michael Jackson and A-ha and growing up I always thought that the 3 had the same level of cultural relevancy.
Also The sun always shines on tv and Stay on these roads are amazing songs that deserve way more recognition.

Hell yeah. Sun Always Shines On TV is their best song IMO and that chord change don't get talked about enough. It's one of those awesome changes that makes the music nerd in me start jumping up and down.
Manhattan Skyline is an amazing song and honestly their music beyond their big hit is super interesting. I think they deserved better.
I'm straight but I would fuck Morten Harket any day of the week.
