fav phil collins song?

[Krokus]

"Sussudio" for me, definetly.

The drumming on this one helps make it my favorite Phil Collins song:

In The Air Tonight
(Collins)

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...

[USATKLR]

my favorite is always been

YOUCAN TELL EVERYONE IM A DRAN DISGRACE
DRAG MY NAME ALL OVER THE PLACE

I DONT CARE ANYMORE

there are other too ill mention them more to the posts

 

[drew70]

I've always liked the song "That's All."

Just as I thought it was going all right
Found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
S'Always the same, it's just a shame, that's all.

Well I could see day and you'd see night.
You tell me I'm black when I know that I'm white.
Living with you's just putting me throught it all the time!

 

[desdemona]

For his ballads, "Against All Odds"

For his upbeat tunes, "Don't Lose My Number"

 

[dskodj]

With Genesis -

ripples, many too many, snowbound, mama and land of confusion

Solo -

i dont care anymore, susudio (12 inch version) and behind the lines [his solo version is pure soul/funk with the ewf horns]

 

[Mimi]

"Seperate Lives"....beautiful 80's ballad he did with a lady named Marilyn Martin.

Also, though I don't carry all that much for the melody, I love the lyrics to "Another Day in Paradise".

[red indian]

Cant stand the Bloke myself...........

.....did a reasonable job as the drummer in Genisis, but who wants to hear a multi-millionaire pop star lecturing the rest of us on the plight of the homeless....."another day in paradise for you and me"......dear oh dear, what a patronising twat.

 

[natural tickler]

Sussudio does it for me too

I forgot the one he did with Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind, and Fire, I liked that one too

 

[USATKLR]

EASY LOVER is the one with phillip bailey

But also the genisis favorite
LAND OF CONFUSION

that song was not only upbeat, but at that time it made you think

 

[Wicker Man]

USA Tickler took my answer so ill have to choose again...I believe the song came out in 1990 when I graduated high school and its called I Wish It Would Rain with Eric Clapton on guitar if im not mistaken. Shhhh! Im a devoted Judas Priest fan so dont tell the Priest Freaks I have a favorite Phil Collins song!😉

 

[the_Baron]

i actually generally despise the man and his voice.....with the one notable exception....."take, take me home".

 

[SmileyTkls]

I've been a Genesis/Phil Collins fan for a long time, and I'd have to say one of my favorites among the many would be "You Can't Hurry Love," gave me hope in high school that maybe there was someone for a strange fellow like me. 😀

[MrMacphisto]

"Easy Lover", "Another Day in Paradise", and "I Wish It Would Rain Down" are three of my faves in his solo career...

With Genesis, I like "Misunderstanding", "Home by the Sea", and "Just a Job to Do".

 

[Dave2112]

Oh, this is a hard one. I remember the day he sold out on national television at the NFC Championship Game a few years ago which was broadcast on ABC (a Disney company) and said that his favorite stuff was the (then) current "Tarzan" soundtrack.

That being said...

My band used to do a pretty good rendition of "In the Air" and "Against all Odds". Both great tunes.

I will also jump on the "Sussudio" bandwagon, but I have to say that I've always found a close relationship with the song "Take Me Home".
