who cares about critics, he's a legend

his shitty music was inescapable and forcibly drilled into the head of everyone who was alive during the mid to late 80s. imagine your least favorite christmas music in heavy rotation on every radio station and in every store for years on end.

I wouldn't blame him for that personally, but he's not hated for no reason

Phil Collins pop rock shit is definitevely cheesy and was overplayed, but I'd take "Easy Lover" and "In the Air Tonight" over the garbage that goes on mainstream radios

You don't get to choose, though. You get "take me home" on repeat for the rest of eternity

Because genesis turned to shit with him at the helm
Everything post-gabriel is a 5/10 at best
In The Air is overrated

>A Trick of the Tail
>Wind & Wuthering
