Why does everyone hate Phil Collins so much?

His songs for the Tarzan soundtrack are amongst my most treasured songs ever. One of my favourite soundtracks.

 

Totally like this guy.

 

Give me time, I could love him!

Funny you mention that. My mates and I joke about how amazing the soundtrack is and that only Phil could pull that off.

 

I can't tell if you like it or not haha

 

Like it or not

Does it matter anyway??

I had a friend in the late 70's who was a huge Genesis fan who always tried to bore me with their albums but i didn't get it.And Then There Were Three came out and i loved it.It was utter crap to him and he disowned the band.Phil Collins has destroyed the band,he'd say.The only thing he liked of Phil's was in the air tonight.And then he went Motown.He even blamed him for blanding out Eric Clapton's career(which he did).The last I ever saw of my friend was when my then girlfriend put on Can't Hurry Love,he stormed out, never to be seen again.I have never seen such hatred for an artist,other than a bloke who took an axe to a turntable with Bat Out of Hell playing.I am now early Genesis convert.I don't hate old Phil,he's an excellent ,unique drummer.But just don't play One More Night,One More Night,One More zzzzzzzzz.

 

From no pulse......i mean no JACKET required

Okay, so who are these "everyone" of whom you speak?

 

According to this thread: a minority. And the majority of the minority apparently used to enjoy him until he was overplayed, then they eventually got sick of him.

 

It's a clickbait thread - fraroc is good at these.

And besides, you can't tell me that Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel wasn't cheesy 80s at all lol

There was nothing cheesey about Sledgehammer back in the day. I lived that era. It was ground shaking on several levels, musically and visually.

 

I didn't live in that era, so for all intents and purposes I should be the one to shit all over music like that.

How does this make sense? Please explain.

I tried to unicorn the formation but still in no way does the umbilical chord fit the description of the gravy I most enjoy has ooh a pigeon.

 

But anyway, that's our Fraroc! We can't change him!

:LOL:

 

It'd be nice to understand people though. I mean, according to the idea, next time I shit on some piece of music I should hope I didn't live in the era it was created in. If I didn't then GREAT I can shit away!

 

Pre-1972 music that I might dislike, get ready for my shitting!

Then explain to me why the minute Phil Collins decided to make music again, a petition was made to get him to re-retire?

 

It's just a fact, Phil Collins is so unfairly hated by most people.

I don't think that's the case. I think the problem is that his musical ability was suffering due to his physical issues, and people didn't want him to come back if he wasn't going to be 100%.

A change.org petition which anyone can create about any subject they'd like, signed by a whopping ~5,000 people over the course of about 10 months.

 

The creator of the petition himself has gone on record saying he made it as a joke, and many signed it as a joke as well.

 

Are you f*cking serious, fraroc? Nice fact.

One's temporal distance from a given event is directly proportional to one's ability to be objective about said event.

 

 

It's also directly proportional to one's ability to be ill-informed.
