TimeOut

Music for this morning idle.... My all-time favorite singer-songwriter, and my two favorite renditions of his most popular song. I've been equally respected and ridiculed for loving Collins' music, I guess some people feel he was too 'commercial' in his career and efforts, but to me, having even been classically musically educated, all of that is pure nonsense - one loves what one loves and enjoys musically. And I'll always love good ol' Philip Collins. I also read his autobiography relatively recently, and I can recommend that as an excellent book as well........ Enjoy

a Phil Collins record …I like the story about In the Air Tonight" featured in the 2007 Gorilla commercial for Cadbury’s chocolate. Many believed that Collins himself was the drummer. When asked about Gorilla, Collins jokingly commented that "Not only is he a better drummer than me, he also has more hair….Can he sing too !

I had totally forgotten about that one by now........

For many years i listen to Phil Collins and Genesis.

List of personal favorites:
In the air tonight.
Jesus he loves me.
Tonight Tonight Tonight
Mamma
Land of Confusion
That’s all
No son of my
Home by the sea
Abacab
Sussudio
Easy lover ( me as Earth, Wind and Fire fan like Phil Bailey’s voice superb)
Against all odds

I like the train robbery movie and Phil his part in Miami Vice.
Frank Zappa also.

Clearly, you are a Major P.C. enthusiast . I have all of his 'main' albums, and all seasons of Miami Vice both on BluRay, and CD soundtrack . Cheers to great music, Filip

Our first CD in house was Invisible Touch. I listen the album to discover CD quality sound back in the days.

Miami Vice, youth memories. Jan Hammer.
The best police tv series ever! I mean it.
My favorite car is now a LaFerrari, but it was for a very long time the black Ferrari Daytona spider. The white Testarossa was a revolution when i see it for the first time.

By far, my favorite modern composer - he actually has a great YouTube channel where you can find some of his newer releases. I purchased both his 'Sketches in Jazz', and 'Seasons' album. Worthy additions to his musical legacy ....

I concur FULLY ! I listened to all of these many hundreds of time each and… I still do it with immense pleasure

He managed to ride a fine line, musically, with most of his repertoire. It wasn't derivative or generic, yet it managed to appeal to a wide, diverse audience. Some of the other pop-rock music of the era, despite being appealing, has too much resemblance between one-another. Especially rock song lyrics! Cheers, Filip

He appealed to a diverse crowd including several hip hop artists in the 90s (Tupac sampled a few of his songs and made references to him too)

I remember him stating just a few years ago how he found his popularity among hip hop and RnB musician pleasantly surprising! The people who made those somewhat ridiculing comments to me were both white, professional musicians . Cheers, Filip

I have all his albums and still play them often

the music very timeless. It is neither exclusively 'retro' feeling, nor something overly experimental in some modern musical context. Thanks Jurry! Filip

And let’s not forget his contributions to Genesis

I looked at some of the footage from last fall when they did the 'Last Domino' tour....

in the 80s and 90s he was all over the place, both literally and figuratively . Cheers, Filip

I need to go throw on some Dua Lipa and return to 2022.

had never heard of her before a security professional told me, in 2018, he used to work for her on tour. Cheers, Filip

overall, her music is, unsurprisingly, too trendy/poppy for my taste. However, she has an indisputably great voice so my favorite video of hers I found on YouTube was this performance of her Love Again song from a year ago....

She needs to do something with Phil Collins next

could possibly manage any more performances/collaborations, his health has been quite troublesome in recent years. I saw him in concert at The Forum in L.A. in 2018, and even then he had to sit-down almost the entire time.... 71 years of age is no joke , Filip

Just so happen to be in downtown Miami tonight. Seeing your Phil Collins post got me a bit nostalgic about this city in 80’s. A bit different today but still a cool town. Can almost see Crockett rolling down the street in the Daytona with Phil in the background. Thanks for the memories!

Thanks for the nighttime shot!!

my favorite romantic song of all time .... Do You Remember? ....
