That was when we all thought that Phil Collins was the talented guy that left Genesis. Depends on your definition of "talent". Some of us thought Mr. Gabriel's departure as such.
Go on, admit it, you KNOW you did! Mr. Collins' music was included in a lot of movies, and did seem to be everywhere on Miami Vice. Or was that the '90s?
Not criticizing, just saying I have a differing opinion. |

PC's first couple solo albums were pretty good before he started catering to the top 40 crowd |

He'd probably been listening to a lot of NIN. :) It sounds good tho. |

He performed this during the encore at the San Jose show last month. I'd never heard it live before. Wow!
Waiting for my CD's of the show to be delivered...

I stand in solidarity with the He Man (and Women) PG haters club.  This was one strange movie BTW. |

OVO is almost a masterpiece. Some of the music is amongst PG's best and extremely powerful. However the premise is/was odd and some of the poetry is decidedly clunky and a bit sixth form.

an obscure but still excellent cut from the most vital voice of his generation... Peter invented "contemporary" if that's what you call his synthesis of seemingly dissimilar musical elements...  |

Interesting track. It'd originally been on OVO, the music he'd written for the Millennium Show. The same album had "Father and Son" and "Downside Up", which he now plays live pretty regularly. You can find for info at the OVO wiki page. If you haven't heard the album, it's worth exploring! |

Same here - I'd never have twigged this for Peter Gabriel. The guy just keeps on innovating... 9 from the Nottingham jury. |

Agree on the music. The movie was forgettable, but on a rainy Tuesday night with nothing else happening, it would be a diversion... |

This guy is just pure, walking genius. I know a lot of his music, but hadn't heard (or maybe remembered) this. It's one of those many RP tunes that plays and I have to stop what I'm doing and find out the title/artist/album. But I'm probably the ONLY one that EVER does that. Thanks, Bill & Bec!
