I really hate Phil Collins. I feel safe in posting this thread because I know that BPENCID (sorry, I always get the spelling wrong) is on holiday in Scotland at the moment, but I just really, really hate Phil Collins. I should add the caveat that I can appreciate that he is a talented drummer, but sadly he doesn't stick to that and inflicts his singing and "acting" on us as well.
Here are my top ten reasons to hate Phil Collins:
1. Playing both Live Aids and feeling very pleased with himself about it.
2. Playing all the instruments on the "Both Sides" album just to show off (even though he can't play guitar and his keyboard/guitar simulations were awful).
3. Miami Vice
4. "Discovering" world music about 15 years after Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel, and releasing a Graceland knock-off. On the plus side, that seemed to kill off his career, record sales wise, so it wasn't all bad.
5. Yes, we know you played the Artful Dodger in Oliver. Stop going on about it at every available opportunity in an attempt to paint yourself as a loveable, cocney, cheeky-chappie. Beacuse you're not.
6. Tarzan, although it did lead to the hilarous post-awards reaction from South Park's Trey Parker & Matt Stone ("I can't believe we lost to Phil Collins") and subsequent ridicule in South Park
7. Dumping his wife by fax and shagging his nanny
8. He, along with his Genesis co-horts (Gabriel excluded) bought a sizeable section of Mull. They allowed the planting of thousands of non indigenous pine trees that managed to turn the land into an acidy swamp that nothing could live off.
9. The lyrics to Another Day in Paradise
10. Buster
