Phil Collins is back. Deal with it.

That's Phil in the middle.

I remain a defiant, unreconstructed and resolute fan of Phil Collins, both as a member of the band Genesis and as a solo performer.

In the open air with Genesis and U2, 1987.

Then again, I've never been one to dismiss the value of "pop" in popular music. It can be done well or badly, just as in every other style of music. When Collins was "pop," it was generally done well, although as followers of Brand X might note, he could perform jazz/fusion, too.



No hating on Phil here, folks.
