Other than that, I still think his first three solo albums have gotten a bit too much criticism. Sure, they aren't quite in the league of Peter Gabriel's solo work (much less in the league of Genesis at their best), but there are lots of great tracks there too. From "But Seriously" onward it was downhill though, and "Dance Into The Light" is probably one of the worst albums ever.
Also, Phil Collins is a magnificent drummer. Maybe his best moment as a drummer is "Intruder" - the opening track on Peter Gabriel's third album.

Don't know much else about his music and frankly don't care.
Sure, he's a good drummer, but I recall hating him for his skin-work on the re-made version of Howard Jones' 'No One Is To Blame' - the original was far better.
He is indeed pretty funny in interviews. Very self-affacting. I think he'd be an OK guy to have a pint with. Although the conversation with Peter Gabriel would be far more interesting. Sting can blow himself. (sorry - did an interview with Sting recently and I'm struggling BADLY to finish the article)

Fritz, I didn't know he was in a Bone Thugs video?? Which one??
Also, imagine the possibilities that appearance brings up in a game of "Six Degrees of Phil Collins"....it probably means you could connect say, Mase and Marianne Faithful in less than 4 degrees....like Bone Thugs worked with collins, they worked with Biggie on Notorious Thugs, Biggie worked with Mase, then Phil subbed for drums with Zeppelin at Live Aid (I think) and probably John Paul Jones did some arranging for Marianne I bet back in the mid-60s....(I'm not sure about all these facts, just speculating, but the possibilites like this are endless.)...

I still hear the LP version of "In the Air Tonight" at least on a weekly basis, on a whole range of stations, but yesterday was the first time I've *ever* noticed that what is I guess the single version, or maybe the video version, has extra drums throughout!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxV4KipHXFE
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 9 July 2022 18:58 (six months ago) link
Very cool. Sounds like maybe some extra guitar and backing vox on the 2nd verse / chorus too The “….well I REMEMBA” part gets me every time.

According to the internet - the internet! - the single mix has extra drums because Ahmet Ertegun thought people would get bored waiting for the drums to come in. So he said to Phil Collins "add more drums" and Phil Collins said "yes" and Ahmet Ertegun said "that sounds good" and Phil Collins said "yes" and then the aeroplane crashed into the sea and it was a shark and I used the teeth to make six crowns.
I grew up with the single version so I find the album version unusual. The drum machine was a Roland CR-78, which was all over John Foxx's Metamatic. The pattern is at about 04:50 (it had preset patterns, but there was scope for variation):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2-KTcMycoE
Collins strikes me as a man who would be held in higher regard if he had never said anything ever. If he had just shut up at some point in the late 1970s and never said anything. He'd still be held in low regard because of "Groovy Kind of Love" and Live Aid and Buster, but not as low.

He didn't rerecord them. They include bonus tracks but they're all demos and live tracks from those eras, iirc.
