Phil Collins
21in stings defense, he was the narrator on a version of peter and the wolf, by prokofiev, which is a masterpiece in itself. however, i concur that everything else sting has ever done is indeed horrible.

Wait, did you just say your name is Phil Collins?
Dude...
He said it, but it was like 2 years ago.
It still rocks my mind 2 years later.
Yes I am indeed called Phil Collins in real life
Do you consider this a burden or a blessing?
I mean, does it get you girls or free meals?
Cheers! Phil Collins!

25In the universe of Sting's opus where does the soundtrack to the Three Musketeers fit?
Rod Stewart was mentioned earlier but Bryan Adams has escaped all notice until this point. In the event anyone appreciates any earlier work with the Police, I would strongly argue the enormity of the Three Musketeers soundtrack acts like a black hole sucking in anything else of value.
That and the horrible outfits they wore in the video for King of Pain. The whole Tina Turner-Beyond the Thunderdome wardrobe people are, like the detainees at Guantanamo Bay, beyond the reach of most international law. I unilaterally deny their right to habeas corpus.

But I do like that one.
My fave Brand X w/Phil - Unorthodox Behaviour. My gawd, the man IS SICK.
Brand X - Prog without the Faries and Gnomes. All playing, no singing.
I would have to say, however, that here in the 21st century, Phil Collins really bums me out. He's Barry Manilow to me.
I didn't know that... My copy doesn't include who played what... Just songwriting credits, and a photo that looks like Phil Collins in a pile of vegetation... Oh yes... Chuck Bergi. Had to look it up online, cuz the CD doesn't even mention that...
Weird... I thought he didn't bail on Brand-X until "Do They Hurt?" in 1980, when he went to Sweden to record Abacab in Abba's studio. He only played on a couple songs on that one. Noddy goes to Sweden...
I guess he took a one album hiatus after Moroccan Roll.
There's a few songs with vocals... The one in Sanskrit (first one on Moroccan Roll) and the one with the vocoder on the 80's one (can't remember it offhand, but it's post-Collins). Best vocals I've heard in fusion. [quote]
I think Phil sings a song on 'Product' which I believe is the album right after 'Masques.' Haven't listened to any of that shit in ages. Maybe I should see if I kept any of it.

30Redeemable things about Phil Collins:
* he played drums and percussion on some songs from Eno's Another Green World ... even though any drummer or percussionist could have done a similar job, really.
Redeemable things about Billy Ocean:
* he did some nice backup vocals on Scott Walker's Climate Of Hunter.
Redeemable things about Sting:
* The Police's first single "Fallout" is great, as well as their first album Outlandos D'Amour.. excepting the annoying "Roxanne" and "Can't Stand Losing You". "Next To You" and "Peanuts" are gems, however. While I'm sure Minutemen weren't influenced by them, this album reminds me a bit of Minutemen as far as the sound & energy. Sting was (once) a great frenetic singing bass-player. After that, The Police still had great moments, until the very end. Sadly ego took after, and we got Sting - the solo pandemic. Summers and Copeland didn't fare well either in their side projects since (although i think Copeland has done some great cameos here and there.)
Winner: Sting (as painful as it is to say)
Runner up: Billy Ocean
The bullpen: Phil Collins
