This post is dedicated to my man, as I know how much Michael just adores Phil Collins and Genesis Phil Collins era, not that bitch Peter Gabriel.

| Phil Collins has announced that he is retiring from music. Having completed a reunion tour with Genesis, the multi-instrumentalist has said in a newspaper interview that he has no plans to tour or make another album. Collins told The Times that he will continue to write, simply because he does not know how to stop. The interview quotes Collins as saying he is more interested in his collection of memorabilia from the Battle Of The Alamo than music. Collins said: "It's not that unusual for a man of my age, who grew up reading Davy Crockett." Collins was speaking ahead of his appearance on Sky Arts TV series 'Songbook'. He re-ignited an old feud with Noel Gallagher. The Oasis man famously said ahead of the 2005 general election: "Vote Labour, if you don't and the Tories get in, (Collins) is threatening to come back from Switzerland, and none of us want that. Collins said of the comment: "I don't care if he likes my music or not. I do care if he starts telling people I'm a wanker because of my politics. It's an opinion based on an old misunderstood quote." |
Well, there goes my hope for more Tarzan music.

Unless you're a middle aged women or Christian Bale from American Psycho, I can't understand why anyone would prefer Collins-era Genesis to Gabriel's Genesis.
Solo work is another story.

Shhh, the post is laden with sarcasm! /sarcasm
Early 80's Collins is essentially the only way to go, from a musical standpoint.

The best music definately came when they worked together. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway remains one of my favorites. I missed out on my chance to see Genesis with Collins in Cleveland cause I was holding out hope on the Gabriel reunion rumors. I guess I really swang and missed on that one. And now for some classic Gabriel (with British teeth):

Gentlemen, please.
What you're forgetting is that Genesis is ALWAYS gay!
