The overrated drummer for Genesis who took on a solo career to do Disney songs and blow Elton John.

A highly irritating 'musician' Once with the hooror of Genesis and later all manner of hell in a solo career.

Fortunately moved out of Britain due to his beloved Conservative party being knocked out of power. His hair continued to fall out and he got dumped by his wife.

The world is a better place without him making music.

His attempts at actin were poor also. See the film 'Buster' and his shockingly appalling effort in Miami vice. This man is evil. Avoid him.
Hey, would you like to listen to 'No jacket required' by Phil collins?

No, I'd rather visit the dentist and have them give me root canal whilst performing a blumpkin.

A small, angry, British performer who merely acts out songs developed in a studio by a group of producers. Occasionally, Collins will pay his agents to spread news about charity donations and civic contributions...none of which were dealt with willingly or directly by Collins. The only motive for which is the ensurance of continuation of record sales and passable public image to dilute the reality of his unabashedly self-centered, ill-willed, simply perverse ways, not to mention his utter lack of musical ability.
Do you listen to Phil Collins?
Who? Bill Collings?
No, Phil Collins!
Oh him. No way, he sucks. My sister went to one of his concerts once and got violently molested by a drunkard who got turned on when Phil started playing pocket pool and groping himself on stage. Hes a real degenerate.

A very successful British drummer. Sadly, despite what people may tell you, he cannot sing and relies on electronic music devices to make his music sound good.
Mr. Collins normally sings out of tune, but his vocal harmonizers and pitch correctors fix all that.

Listen closely to any of his songs (even the Genesis ones) and you'll notice how his voice is always doubled and slightly echoed.

On the song "In the Air Tonight", about 2 minutes into the track, the filters are tweaked so that there are 3 versions of his voice singing at the same time - the 'normal' filtered version, a comical low pitched version, and his real voice. The low, weak, screechy, high voice in the background is his real singing voice.

Oh and FYI, the 'drum solo' on "In the Air..." was done on a drum machine, so I really don't know how it is considered a solo when a machine is playing it throughout the whole song.

But once again, he is a great drummer...

It's like that part from "In the Air Tonight", where the moment you hear the drum solo halfway through the song, you instantaneously start air drumming along. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you're doing when you hear it either. Whether it is in your car while you’re stuck in traffic, or in line at the grocery store, you're drumming along like you're kicking an invisible mugger's ass.
Wilcox: "So what happened?"

Arnett: "We were in a crowded bar, and I had a Phil Collins Moment, and when I stopped and looked around, the rest of the bar was doing it too, so I kept doing it"

Bruce: "What's a Phil Collins....Moment?"

Clark: "You know, its that one drum part from that one Phil Collins song that everyone drums to?"

Bruce: "Oh gotcha"

Clark: "I had a Phil Collins Moment the other day in the car. I accidentally hit my mom in the face. That song Simple by Collective Soul came on. You know that part at 32 seconds? I couldnt stop myself"

any flight of stairs that consists of 9 steps, so that when descended with the correct rhythm, plays the drum fill from Phil Collins' hit, 'In the air tonight'.
me: My new condo has two flights of Phil Collins stairs.
you: awesome! I'm coming over to try them.
