We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.

14I would not download this, or any other, IDLES single.
As for Collins...heard several of his big hits as a kid, and remember the video with the puppets, but never sat down with any of his CDs or LPs. An interesting poll, perhaps, would be pitting him against Billy Joel, since there probably aren't many big fans of either flocking to this site.

15Heh - ahhhhh….enframed wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 12:00 pm 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 was 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. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. 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 anything I've heard in rock. 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. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
The thing is I think that this is totally on point! Invisible Touch was a huge record for me and it holds up brilliantly today. Domino is just wild. Collins’ solo work has aged gracefully, from both compositional and production perspectives. I am a big fan of Hugh Padgham’s recordings in general, and Collins’ stuff is no exception.
"lol, listen to op 'music' and you'll understand"....

Re: Phil Collins
18Leave Brian Eno's drummer alone!
So ubiquitous in the 80s that he felt like a familiar, if remote, member of the family when I was a kid. He claims the Tory stuff originates in that 'lightbulb' article in the Sun, which is passable defence perhaps? Still, despite my soft spot for Turn it on again, it's a crap from me. And double crap if the Sun was accurate.

19It became his most recent hit thanks to a chocolate bar advert. Went back into the charts, and unleashed him on a new generation.zircona1 wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 11:54 am How did 'In the Air Tonight' become his most popular song?
Re: Phil Collins
20Crap, WF nostalgia.
The covers of his first three solo albums are just closeups on his goonish face, which I didn’t know before I looked up his discography just now. Unappealing.
I guess he also set up the “cumming in your hair tonight” misheard lyric/joke.
