Phil Collins - Time for re-evaluation?

[butchersapron]

I can't take much more of this.

 

[Orang Utan]

I can't take much more of this.

Listen to it:

How can you fail to be moved?

 

[Dhimmi]

If this works and rescues the dullard Collins from the bin of dull I'm starting a similar thread on Thatcher.

 

[Crispy]

oh shit, I just realised I like a couple of dire straits songs ):

Smart hair too.

[Paulie Tandoori]

oh shit, I just realised I like a couple of dire straits songs ):

...laying everybody low, with a love song that he made....

 

[Bakunin]

...laying everybody low, with a love song that he made....

Romeo And Juliet, which is a classic.

And Mark Knopfler is one of the most criminally underrated technical guitarists around, IMHO.

 

[Orang Utan]

Romeo & Juliet and Money For Nothing?

 

[D'wards]

You see - you all arbitrarilly attacked - now you have had time to think, you're staring to come round.

Join with me - "sheeeee's an Eaaasy Lover, she'll take your heart but you won't feel it"

 

[Crispy]

you and me babe, how about it?

Romeo & Juliet and Money For Nothing?

Aaargh Christ, it's more than two songs >_<

 

[Orang Utan]

What about Cyndie Lauper?

 

[D'wards]

Romeo & Juliet and Money For Nothing?

Romeo and Juliet and Tunnel of Love and maybe Private Investigations

 

[Hi-ASL]

So what's everyone's I-hate-Dire-Straits song? Mine used to be Brothers in Arms - fantastic, with guitar-playing that puts you right there in those mist-covered mountains - but nowadays I prefer the more boogiesome Sultans of Swing.

Still hate them and wish they were all dead, obvs.

What about Cyndie Lauper?

Her cover of I Drove All Night was one of my favourite songs in my early teens...

 

[butchersapron]

The people do the funniest things one. You know, the utterly inauthentic cajun one.

(i do hope all you people are drunk)

 

[Orang Utan]

if she called me I'd be there
I'd come running anywhere.
She's all I need
all my life
I feel so good if I just say the word

SUE SUE SUDIO!

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Following on from a discussion on Adam & Joes 6Music show, i thought they had a point - is it time to re-evaluate the work of dear Phill Collins?

They reasoned it was, and also accused those of called him bland and boring of being lazy thinkers, and just going with the flow.

After this i looked up Collins on Youtube, and i have to admit i knew loads and loads of his songs, some are pretty good too; Mama, Against all Odds, Sussudio, In too Deep, One More Night, Invisible Touch, Take Me Home, Follow you Follow me, Land of Confusion, Turn it on Again, Jesus he Know's Me and the superb song - Easy Lover.

Bruce Springsteen turned it around - remember how he was the byword for shit after he was massive in the 80's - what a backlash that was.

Now - i know i'll get loads of flack for this thread, but actually think about the songs he has done, especially compared to much of todays bland shit, and the crap bands like U2 put out. He's not so bad after all.

I'm not saying he's a Bowie or Stevie wonder type figure, far from it, but is he really as bad as you think he is?

I don't think he's as bad as we think, I know he's much much fucking worse. He should be decapitated for his butchery of 'You can't hurry love'.

Which artist are you talking about and which song?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

(i do hope all you people are drunk)

Ray!!!

 

[butchersapron]

dire straits, funny baseball vid, don't know songs name - it's got that cajun flavour that you can only get by buying chemicals and putting them on your meat. Keyboard hook.

 

[Sunspots]

Inevitable, but hey...

That's him.

 

[isitme]

that song was amazing with the builders that they made on computers

 

[rekil]

Listen to it:

Stainsby Girls and Steel River are the standouts for me. I did grow to loathe that strat horribleness however.

 

[Hi-ASL]

That Money for Nothing one's shit too and it's got Sting in it for a bonus.

My mate's dad did that
