Ironically, The Telegraph's recent review mentions the '80s influence on '25,' the superstar's latest with 'nods to Phil Collins' and others. Philip David Charles Collins LVO (born 30 January 1951) is an English drummer, singer, songwriter.His recent announcement to come out of retirement andВ return to the stu-studio and also re-release previous records came tethered to a lot of press on 'Phil Collins.'

Music, Film, TV and Political News Coverage. This is a Very nice presentation of PhilвЂ™s best songs and in Incredible sound. Perhaps the rebirth truly began with Patrick Bateman's monologue in American Psycho and with that as example, it's time for another rambling on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Phil Collins phenomenon.I think the bad reviews are from people with cheap turntables/systems because this 2 LP set is Beautiful If youвЂ™re interested IвЂ™d do myself a favor and get this Yes itвЂ™s missing some great Collins tunes but I already have a lot of his original solo albums. All of this points to an inevitable Phil Collins resurgence and this became the basis of that short-lived online petition of protest against any future Phil Collins music.

Hey вЂњSouth Park,вЂќ you reading this?But seriously, itвЂ™s extremely unlikely that any future releases would have the capability of suffocating all of us like CollinsвЂ™ вЂ™80s records did. Maybe there's an audience out there that can look back and appreciate the actual songwriting, and a voice devoid of Auto-Tune?В Regardless, for humor or even worse to some, Phil Collins has become a topic again, even if itвЂ™s just to remind the trolls that once again, itвЂ™s really cool to bash on what was already the ultimate easy target. There is little wonder that Phil Collins wants to make a comeback but why now? Perhaps itвЂ™s the public's continuing affection for the вЂ™80s. Hollywood's TV and film remakes, vinyl record re-pressings, and older bands reforming are all here to cash in on a nostalgic public that loves to rewind.

When Genesis' vocalist, Peter Gabriel, left, it was Collins who took the driver's seat, having flown co-pilot singing backup vocals with Gabriel. Famous percussionists described him as being an inspiration with a list that includes Taylor Hawkins, Mike Portnoy, and Neil Peart. Most notable was his tenure as the drummer of Genesis. It is now okay for anybody living through his output in the вЂ™80s to adopt the hipster's vernacular, 'I liked him better before he got popular, before he was cool.'It's unlikely that he was ever really looked at as being 'cool' but the earlier career of Phil Collins was quite respectable many years before he would become a pop phenomenon. He describes all of the airplay and his multiplicity as 'incessant,' and has apologized while maintaining that he never 'intended for any of that to happen.' It's not often an artist apologizes for becoming too popular.

He also had a lyrical format. Composing so many songs with seemingly the same cheap Casio-sounding drum machine, the same sterile keyboards and then quite often, an Earth, Wind & Fire horn section that sounded surprisingly synthetic, his songs became a musical formula. Actually, nearly any producer in the music industry could tell you to push aside all of that about his being hated, because it is truly his gated-reverb drum sound that dominated nearly all popular music recordings of the вЂ™80s.There is no denying that Collins churned out a lot of cheese with lyrics that weren't always that sharp. His resume outside that band is extensive and includes drum work for Brand X, Robert Plant, Brian Eno and Led Zeppelin.

4 in '85 and the term guilty pleasure comes to mind. About absolutely nothing, the song went to No. Ahem, number literally sounds as if it was written for you to practice the Carlton dance.

ItвЂ™s not a number on the charts but it was performed live quite a bit as it lends itself to waking the energy up a bit between so many ballads.Pick a power ballad cliche. His own lyrics can be applied here: 'You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch.' Don't ever watch the video.or do because it's below.The Genesis hit, 'Tonight, tonight, tonight' with it's infamous, 'Oh-Oh' may have a close cousin in 'Inside Out.' A simple message of 'I'm ready to take charge of my life' is delivered with big drums and just the right three major piano chords. As part of what he described as 'therapy,' this track on his first solo record, вЂњFace Value,вЂќ deals with divorce issues but most of the soul searching here is more in musical terms as you can feel Collins doing his best to grasp the essence of R&B.

He fires up the Roland drum machine, adds some simple keys and piles on big drums midway to conclusion. I don't know who first started writing saccharine-saturated songs like this but in spite of its predictability, there is just no way to deny that this particular Grammy winner works.The blurred lines between Genesis and Phil Collins' solo material may have begun here. Build string section to a soaring crescendo and have everything return to the same tenderness as the beginning? Check. Slow but powerful drum fills to add dynamics? Check.

The chord progression and melody are big and open, somewhat like vintage Elton John with notes of McCartney or Eric Carmen. вЂњWe Said Hello, Goodbye (DonвЂ™t Look Back)вЂќ (1985)The extra song included on the CD of вЂњNo Jacket Required,вЂќ this gem transcends Phil's conventional musical trademarks. Years later, it was included as part of the music played in the popular violent video game, вЂњGrand Theft Auto.вЂќ Trent Reznor had to have been influenced by this track in some way.4.

But interestingly, there is a longstanding urban legend that the song is about witnessing a drowning.
