Re: Phil Collins
Lamour, my man, I too am not a huge Genesis fan. My "classic" prog bands list included Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Oldfield, and early Kansas, and Jethro Tull (Aqualung to Gallery), but I never could get into ELP (the poster boys for all the attacks on prog) or Genesis. Genesis just never "did it" for me.
As for Phil's drumming, he's more of a "constructor of drumlines" than a solo-er, so maybe that's what you're hearing, or not hearing. But the place to really get where the praise comes from is not Genesis, it's Brand X, Collins's fusion band.
