I'm always sheepish to say it out loud, but he's one of my favorites. More experimental than he gets credit for (Brand X, early Genesis, other bands he's drummed with on one-offs) and his sense of horn-driven joyful arrangements works well for me. There's a sentimental/life factor too, having grown up on his music. But I listen to him all the time.
Collins' physical decline has shaken me. Such a funny, bright guy. Although I haven't forgiven him for "Against All Odds." i would like those 2 hours back.
Wow! I'm going to be showing The Immediate Family documentary in class today. I was undecided about which part to show but today's post has confirmed it: Lee Sklar and Phil playing in the '80s, for sure!
I worried for a second he was gone. Nice to give Collins his flowers now. He was of course exhaustingly ubiquitous for a minute there. But a lot of great singles and a wildly innovative drum sound. That's far better than most.
