so i listen to phil collins
As a follow-up to my last post, I feel compelled come clean that I listen to Phil Collins’ music. Yes, I’ve been a fan since he rocked out on Invisible Touch with Genesis in the mid-80s. Much like Neil Diamond and Journey, Phil Collins rules–but in his own, semi-manly/wussy kind of way. And what the fuck is this about Phil Collins being #5 on the list of “Top 10 Pop Artists for the Terminally Uncool“?!?!?!? I’m outraged. Hello??!?! These guys have obviously never heard about a ground-breaking band called Genesis. When Peter Gabriel left Genesis, Phil Collins had the courage to step in and show us that having puppets in music videos is cool:
I won’t even get into his revolutionary solo work that includes the soundtrack of the Disney movie Tarzan.
Moreover, what the fuck is up with that list in general? I listen to at least half of those artists on a regular basis! Bryan Adams? What?!?!?! C’mon! (As a sidenote: I do the best Bryan Adams raspy voice the morning after I’ve had a couple of cigars and much too much to hard liquor on the night before). I won’t even get into my outrage over seeing Neil Diamond on that list.
Some people just have no taste in music…
