One not word: 

 

SuSuSoodio.

 

You don't come back from that. 

 

Related: Doesn't take much googling to see the amount of animosity from other artists and the members themselves.

Loved Phil and Genesis in high school

My favorite sont was a Bside 45 called Man without a Horn.

Check it out wiff.

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

Saw them on their "The Last Domino?" concert tour...  It was a shame that Phil couldn't play the drums, but it was still a good concert...

There are only three artists who have sold 100 million records as part of a group and as a solo act.  Phil is one of them.

Maybe I'm Misunderstanding the point of this thread. Which is easy to do when your living in a Land of Confusion. But before I dig In Too Deep, I'm going to reach out to my Mama because she has a way of keeping me from Taking It All Too Hard. If I get No Reply At All, I might consider Throwing It All Away.

I put Sususoodio in the same dumpster as that annoying Umbrella Ella Ella song. 

Makes me

They went down hill when PG left.

They never dressed up like a piece of broccoli to sing a song again.

They weren’t though, not once Peter Gabriel left anyway.

And what about Radiohead? Pink Floyd? Rush? There are/were some damn good prog bands out there
