Do you like Phil Collins?
I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release...
of their 1980 album "Duke."
Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work.
Too artsy, too intellectual.
It was on "Duke" where...
Phil Collins' presence became more apparent.
I think "Invisible Touch" is the group's undisputed masterpiece.
It's an epic meditation on intangibility.
At the same time, it deepens and enriches...
the meaning of the preceding three albums.
Christie, take off the robe.
Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford.
You can practically hear every nuance, of every instrument.
Sabrina, remove your dress.
In terms of lyrical craftsmanship and sheer songwriting...
this album hits a new peak of professionalism.
Sabrina, why don't you dance a little.
Take the lyrics to "Land of Confusion."
In this song
Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority.
"In Too Deep" is the most moving pop song of the 1980s...
about monogamy and commitment.
The song is extremely uplifting.
Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative...
as, uh, anything I've heard in rock.
Christie, get down on your knees...
so Sabrina can see your asshole.
Phil Collins' solo career... seems to be more commercial,
and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way...
especially songs like "In the Air Tonight" and "Against All Odds"
Sabrina, don't just stare at it. Eat it.
I also think that Phil Collins works best...
within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist.
And I stress the word "artist."
This is "Sussudio."
Great, great song. Personal favorite.
