Best Phil Collins production

yes, billstevejim

If it was the LP version of the HoJo, that, easily. But it ain't, so Frida. I super hate the sound of those two Claptons (well, I hate the performances and the songs too tbh). Easy Lover is pretty great in that it sounds like it should be the theme from Top Gun but it's about exercising rectitude around a heartbreaker.

A long time ago I was listening to Ash Ra Temple, and as soon as the epic track stopped "Easy Lover" kicked right in, and damned if the intro did not sort of fit right in.

how could i not vote john martyn though?

I much prefer the original "Couldn't Love You More"; the PC-produced version doesn't sound like a John Martyn song anymore. Whereas I like the Phil-produced "No One is to Blame" better than the stark album version.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I think I am going to listen to that Frida album, I remember liking it. Bitchin' track!

a Bryan Ferry track!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Had no idea that was Russ Ballard. Songwriter hacks are fascinating.
