There’s a thread over there that mentions how the mods are either gone or haven’t logged in a while. We should see if we can get it

Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, ‘Duke’. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy; too intellectual. It was on ‘Duke’ where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think ‘Invisible Touch’ is the group's undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to ‘Land of Confusion.’ In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. ‘In Too Deep’ is the most moving pop song of the 1980; about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive; affirming, as anything I’ve heard in Rock. Phil Collins’ solo career seems to be more commercial, and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way. Especially songs like ‘In The Air Tonight’ and ‘Against All Odds.’ But I also think Phil Collins works better in the confines of a group and not a solo artist; and I stress the word “artist.” This is Sussodio; a great, great song. A personal favorite!
