I’d just like to say that that as great as the Cadbury Gorilla Advert is Phil Collins sucks, has always sucked and will always suck. Celebrating his works even in a terribly arch post-pre-post-ironic so-bad-it’s-funny manner is just not necessary. Another example of this sort of behaviour is the otherwise impeccable Postal Service covering Against All Odds, a song dripping with such awfulness that not even their dreamy blippy glory could rescue it. To anyone else thinking of going down the Collins road I say this. No. Stop.
the Cadbury thing features a big monkey and is therefore via everyone.

Back in the 80s I saw Phil Collins at the Summit in Houston. This was when Sussudio (whatever that meant) was the big hit so it would be around the same time as this one was a hit. Collins was OK, lots of glitz, two complete large drum kits and a spare drummer (so he could prance about) but nowhere as near as good as other big names of the day – Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, for example. Now they knew how to entertain.
Phil Collins doesn’t suck.
Listen to Turn it On Again and tell me it sucks, ya poseur.
Um, yes he does. While music appreciation is subjective you are commenting in my realm and therefore my objectivity rules, so you are wrong. Deal.
Phil Collins sucks 110%.
He is one of the most overpayed and talentless tedious bores the UK has produced in over 1000 years. If you can maintain that he is a good drummer, then expand your record collection; then you will get to hear drummers like Gene Krupper, Stuart Copeland, or Nikko McBrain, etc., and you will look back at your idiotic views on Phil Collins as a musican, and cringe in embaressment.
He also probably my top vote for truly awful vocalist posing as a real singer. He has a crap voice, poor expression and HE IS ALWAYS FLAT!!! He is so out of tune that apparently even producers like Hugh Padgham can’t even get him vaguely in key in a world class studio. I mean Mark Knopfler is a crap singer as well, but at least he is a good songwriter, and a really good guitarist. And he is quoted as admitting he can’t really sing.
Phil Collins is an worthless scum. Wipe him from the sole of your shoe, and let’s remember only the good things from the 80’s.
Yeah I agree. Phil Collins can’t shing for sh*t, he drums like a cheap Tandy keyboard and he is cheesy, cheesy, cheesy – soppy commercialised crap of the first water.
He sucks arse. Full stop.
Hey, Freddo, all us Freds are sensible guys, like I always said, but now theres PROOF for it. Are you a Frederick or just a plain Fred like me, BTW? (Or a Farouk, like Freddy Mercury???!?!? That’d be exciting!)
Just want to reiterate: Phil Collins is as sickening as a putrified dog turd that is revealed at the bottom of the soup bowl from which you have just finished eating.
I heard that 9/10 civillised countries have voted to ban Phil Collins from getting an entry visa on the grounds that he absoultely sucks crap. This may or may not be true, but it would be nice if it were true, unless you live in the same country that he does.
