Pardon me for impinging on one man's personal taste, but, you're joking, right?
Phil is an only adequate singer (with slightly Gabriel-like intonation and
limited real range), but a superb drummer (witness REAL Genesis albums like
"Selling England by the Pound", "Foxtrot" or "Lamb").  Occasionally he
actually remembers this fact (he tried to some degree at Live Aid).  He's
also written some very good music, for Genesis and occasionally for himself.

I don't dislike Collins, in fact, I think he's a really talented musician who's
been swallowed up by star machine bullshit.  Shame, really.
