I love Phil as well. I enjoy his music and the way the lyrics jive with the melody.. [aj2006]
Phil Collins has done so many songs over the years. Not only did he perform with Genesis and then go off on his own he wrote many songs that were used by other artists. I think my favorite is "Another Day in Paradise" for the 90's. It's a beautiful song and the video for it is great as well. I also loved "Separate Lives", which he did for "White Nights". Beautiful song but not as beautiful as "You'll be In My Heart" which one him an Oscar, it's from Disney's "Tarzan". He's done to many for me to have just one favorite. He's a very good artist. [emeraldisle]
There have been a few times I've heard a song and it's great and I wonder who it is only to find out it was Phil Collins. There for a while on the radio station we listened to at least once an hour they played either one he sang or he wrote. Never failed. [emeraldisle]
I like Phil Collins. He's not my favorite but he has some great songs that I love, like "Do you Remember" and "Throwing it All Away". [sofia29]
oh i love phil collins.... and loved him more when he did the sound track for disney's TARZAN. i love 1. easy lover, 2. Sussudio 3. Don't Lose My Number 4. Against All Odds 5. A Groovy Kind Of Love... i can go all day. lol. [roniroxas]
phil collins has always been a great singer. one more night is also a favorite of mine plus that tarzan track. we have a cd and a karaoke cd of phil collins and it is good to hear his songs being sung by my kids. [trinidadvelasco]
Yes I like Phil Collins especially his song "true colors" and "one more night" [tamskie]
I also love Phil Collins' songs. I like the song..TRUE COLORS,GROOVY KIND OF LOVE AND ALSO ONE MORE NIGHT. I actually like all the songs so it is hard for me to choose. [vonne28th]
My favorite all time album of Phil Collins' is "No Jacket Required". [karraine]
This is one of my favorite albums by phil Collins too. I think it is one of the top ten albums that I have ever heard. He is a very talented artist and I would recommend his music to most people. I do like most of his songs. [carolscash]
"Against All Odds', is my favorite of those I remember. Of course, "In The Air Tonight" was huge due to the Miami Vice connection, and was good too. Just a bit over played. Isn't "True Colors" originally a Cyndi Lauper song? [bravenewworld]
I can't hear In The Air Tonight and not think of Miami Vice. [sarahruthbeth22]
I like him. I used to listen to him some 10 years ago. Some songs I remember are Groovy Kind of Love, Do You Remember?, Don't Lose My Number and Take Me Home. He is a brilliant artist. [Zalvor]
I love Take Me Home. [sarahruthbeth22]
Basically all Phil Collins Hits are my favorites. One of the greatest composers,musician and singer. Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) is his signature song of all time. [cnetboss]
Although Phil Collins is not my favorite singer I love some of his songs like Groovy Kind of Love, Against All odds & True colors. [a_ce_e]
Hi, Yup I like phil collins, my favourite song of his is "The Air Tonight"... Especially the remixed with rapper 2 Pak Shakur [Nardz13]
I liked most a humorous video with genesis I suppose in which he said he had a perfect body with a perfect face, I don't remember the title, sorry. I like almost everything he sung. bye [opinione]
That song must be "I Can't Dance" from the "We Can't Dance" album. I must admit I prefer Phil with Genesis. [bravenewworld]
Most of his songs I just love listening to. When ever I have time playing mp3 songs in my pc I would include all his songs I know. Music can sometimes relax us or bring us down too. [beauty_ph]
My favourite song is "another day in paradise"... I like so much [emiliano75]
Against All Odds is beautiful, and I'm not sure if this is Phil Collins or Genesis, but i love the one I think it's called "Something Happened on the way to heaven" when he keeps singing, "How many times can I say I'm sorry?" One Phil Collins song I really did not like was the one he did for the animated movie (Tarzan?), "You'll be in my heart." I changed my mind on it somewhat, though, when I heard him say in an interview that he wrote it for his children. Then it became more meaningful, although it's still not a favorite for me. [tentwo67]
Phil Collins are one of my favorite singer. In fact, almost all of his song I like but "Find a way to my heart" is what I like most. His songs are very soothing to my soul. [vonn1378]
hi, i remember the first time i heard a phil collins song it was when my grand dad was watchin him on TV i must have been what 5 ?! And i still love his songs ! "Take a look through my eyes" is wonderful and "come with me" is absolutely beautiful ! [jess07]
He inspired me to be a drummer; the accident threw me out of the drumming cycle, so now I'm a lazy writer waiting for my big break ... :~P ... and "One More Night" is one of my favorite songs to dance to---you would think that my fave. dance-song would be "Dance Into the Light," but that's more my fave. morning-song (like Oklahoma's "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," on a coffee-rush lol) Personally though, I was most-influenced by some of his synth-work with Genesis (or maybe that was band-mate Tony Banks). 1986's Invisible Touch (reportedly Genesis's most-poppy album, with the title track & "Domino Pt. 1 & 2 (In the Glow of the Night, The Last Domino)," "Throwing It All Away," "The Brazilian," "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight," "Land of Confusion," "In Too Deep," and "Anything She Does") showed me the good fruits of music-theory. [mythman]
Oh, I just realized that your this discussion was posted one year ago:) Phil Collins does have some nice songs. Besides One More Night, I also like Against All Odds, Groovy Kind Of Love, Can't Stop Loving You, Another Day In Paradise and so on. And my favorite is Against All Odds. I love Chiina [youless]
I don't even know that there is a movie called Against All Odds. [youless]
Yes, that is my favorite song too. I like his music. But, I can't remember his other songs. But, I do know that I like them all.happy [cream97]
There were so many. The problem for me is that I get his solo work and Genesis all mixed up.But I do know the 80's wouldn't be as musically great without him. [sarahruthbeth22]
I'm not a fan of Phil's solo music, but he's a remarkable man. A child actor, his first group was in the '60s. A fine musician, and first rate vocalist. I will admit to a real fondness for his wonderful vocal performance on one of the greatest love songs of the '60s, "A Groovy Kind of Love". [CarlHalling]
Phil's first band was Flaming Youth (you can see him on youtube drumming and singing: very talented band!); he was so angelic back then. Also, his voice sounds much like it did later. Perhaps they hired him in Genesis as much for his voice as drumming skills, lending support to Peter G., I mean. [CarlHalling]
Hi! Phil Collins is not exactly my favorite but I really like his song, "A Groovy Kind of Love". I think the song is very sweet and the melody is heart-rending in a way. The lyrics are simple but whenever I hear the song, I would remember my highschool crush! It starts with, "When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue..." I still would like the hear this song over and over. Happy myLotting! [ag_abscruzmd]
Phil Collins is just a great singer. I enjoy most all of his songs. Has ever had one I didn't? Hmm Against all odds is probably my favorite. He sure knows how to write a tear jerker. [SuzyQ12]
I like the song Down by the Sea. Its from when he was with Genesis. Yes I like him. [ersmommy1]
I don't have a favorite but I like his voice and his talent with musical instruments is amazing. I loved how he did all the songs in Tarzan (Disney movie), and how he played most of the instruments in them. Thanks for the comment on my discussion! [oyenkai]
How could anyone forget Phil Collins ,one of the greatest drummers ever ,it such a pity ,he may stop recording,I hear he is almost deaf in one ear .Its difficult to choose one song from Phil since there are so many but for me that is "I cant stop loving you" ,I cant stop loving this song.I just liesten to it over and over and it still sound fresh.However before this I loved "both sides of the story ".find a way to my heart .....the list goes on HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME ...I CANT CHOOSE ONE LOL [ronnyb]
You have the right to love more than one of his songs. [sarahruthbeth22]
