I'll miss him. Loved him in Genesis and also liked his earlier solo work. How can you not hear "Something in the Air" and not think about Tubbs and Crockett cruising through the hot Miami night towards danger at the hands of Columbian drug kingpins?
He also produced a good bit of stuff like this one from former ABBA-ite Frida. You can really hear Phil's influence, especially in the drums (did he play drums on this? I don't know.):

This sounds a bit like a GD "I'm leaving forever!" post. Why does he need to announce this, except in hopes of generating "No, Phil, don't quit!" responses. I think he made a lot of good music (and some shitty music, too), but if you're going to quit the business, it seems like you could do that by, well, just not making any more music.

Sucks! Lot of great memories growing up with his music. I didn't know about the Alamo collection which looks awesome!

Jackson was a strange pedophile with lots of money to indulge in his boy-rape fantasies. His family is a long list of dirtbags and hanger-ons.

His music is timeless, IMO. Still fresh, still outstanding even today. One of Genesis' best:

I think he has several good hits. The first real song I recall hearing that wasn't from some Disney movie was "I wish it would rain down".
And now "I can't dance" is my ringtone.

Phil is wrong about one thing. People will miss him. At least the people who actually have good taste in music and an appreciation for actual talent anyway. Phil Collins has more talent in his pinky finger than many of today's "stars" have in their entire body. Absolutely. Yep. Since when does a drummer replace the lead singer and actually improve the quality of the band?

I will miss his music.
A few years ago he put together a full orchestra and toured with what he called "The Phil Collins Big Band". Even released at least one album from it. He is a suprememely gifted musician who proved he could transcend multiple genres successfully. Far, far more talented than just about anything coming out today. -Gator |

"If you have ever been to one of his concerts, you know that he is one of the greatest musical entertainers this past century.
Often, nostalgia clouds our judgement, and things we remember from 10-20 years ago weren't really all that great. I don't think that applies to Phil Collins/Genesis' music." I agree completely...150 million albums is not bad music but a great musician.
