There is no doubt he has created the legendary songs of our time to hate him or not can not shadow the fact at all. His songs play a big impact in our memories. ❤
When you're successful, it's "norma"l to have enemies. The greater the success, the more enemies. It's us, people! And this is especially pronounced among musicians! Collins is (was) an excellent drummer, singer, composer, entertainer. And he earned his place among the great pop rock musicians.
I heard a lovely story of Phil’s kindness to his fellow man this fella I was speaking to his father run a butchers shop in petworth in West Sussex business had become really bad because of prolonged road works Phil was a regular in the shop he came in one day to the shop he knew is business was struggling and invited him to come and work with him as a roadie which he did
I have several Genesis albums (Yes they are in my prog rock category along with, YES, Pink Floyd, ELP, Marillion, etc.,)...I have no Beatles albums. I appreciate what the Beatles did but Phil is superior all day long through sheer talent alone...
He was known for his incredible generosity and almost went broke paying out to people who begged him for money. I am surprised this is not mentioned and Another Day In Paradise, suggests he admits we have all got it good, but many do not. I feel there is not much to dislike about him.
News to me that Phil was ever not respected. Not so surprising, though: musicians tend to be highly opinionated, and quite dismissive of peers, especially of those from other genres. Thank God we know them for their music, and not their private conduct!
Paul McCartney is ok. I don't know why people don't like him. Phil Collins is ok. Whoever Paul and Phil has a beef with is between them. Both of their music is good to me
Phil Collins is regarded as the best drummer in the world and it´s not just because of his drumfill in "in the air tonight" as some people think. It´s all his work in Genesis and Brand X a lot of people don´t know much about
Seen a few concerts in my days and seen both Phil Collins and Genesis live as a musical talent both Phil and Genesis were the best one of the very few bands that sounded better live than on an album and will greatly missed as a band, just a shame music today can't be this good...
I had no idea about these negative things about Phil Collins...wow...I like him. People like people and other people don't like people...His music (Phil) made me happy a lot in the 80s...and especially the Queens Jubilee in the 2003
Paul an international legend a musical genius, written 100s of the best songs, a producer can play at least 10 instruments, worth $1.5billion US his music will be remembered for ever/thanks mum for naming me after him, my sister Pauline!! She met him when he was 14 ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
All art is subjective IMO and comes down to personal taste. Anyone who sells millions of their songs is obviously good to millions of people. I don't see how that can be argued with in any rational way. Has Collins ever outright attacked or insulted anyone? Not that I'm aware of. What he has done is brought pleasure to millions. That is all good.
Phill collins is an outstanding musician! His vocal performances are second to none. I often think of his work on the Albums 'Trick of the tale', Wind and wuthering' and especially 'And then there were three' as some of the most moving musical experiences of my younger (and present) life. I still listen to them..He may have had various fall outs with other great artists Jimmy Page, Roger Waters, Sir Paul Mcartney et al ..to name a few (all of whom are legends in their own right) but this does not in any way diminish this mans musical stature in my eyes. I believe he will be fondly remembered long after his many detractors have faded into obscurity..God bless you Phill, for all your faults! as all men have feet of clay..
Paul Mc cartney is in another leauge phil collins is not in same leauge he is feuding with to many musicians he should stick to his band mates Paul is God
I agree that Collins led Genesis, with its unique artistry and progressive sound, into just another pop band. This move was commercially successful but left plenty of us mourning the musical loss. Would have preferred he kept his pop inclination for his solo career, and allow the classic Genesis to evolve further. Anyway it's history. Classic Genesis died with the departure of Gabriel much as classic Floyd died when Waters left.
Good evening, it may be a time that we knew, we were young and rock was experienced on MTV. Success, money for commercial music that many people like. That's a feeling.
I read that Paul is to celebrite to give Phil Collins his Autograf 😊❤Phil is a real celebrite drummer in Genesis and so good singer love all his songs❤❤❤❤❤so amazing artist❤and Paul MCartney to with Beatles❤❤❤❤and on his own music😊
I remember when Phil Collins was everywhere you looked or whatever radio station you tuned in to. At that time, to me, be was so grossly commercial it make me sick. As well, Genesis with Phil Collins never did anything for me other than 'Turn It On Again,' whereas I love Peter Gabriel and have seen him in concert. Phil Collins has always been a hated commercial melody worm.
I remain an admirer of Phil Collins, but I do agree that "he brings it on himself". Witness: when he was drummer for Genesis in the early-1970's, he specifically cited Yes as being a favorite band. Then, later on in the 1980's: "Oh, I never liked bands like Yes. I was always into Aretha Franklin; Motown Soul." Stuff like than (rightly) led to critics calling Phil out, saying that all of a sudden he's become a black man.
To me, even Phil Collins original music sounds like it is coming from a tribute group at a karaoke bar. That King Charles III when he was Prince of Wales, referred to him as a 'musical genius' is a tribute to mediocrity from a rich and mediocre parasite.
Jimmy Page has no right to criticize Collins for Live Aid at all! Page was absolutely off his face on God knows what and played abysmally. He was a far more obvious spectacle and embarrassment than Collins
I never knew he existed until I heard In The Air Tonight.. which I liked.. Jimmy Pages criticizing him was in uncalled for, Plants singing & Page’s guitar were well under par.. shambolic I say.. they were the ones unprepared. Paul McCartney is up himself, he’s become my least favorite Beatle. Phil & I were both born in 1951. I actually have no opinion of him one way or another.
Alot are jealous of alot of Beatles generally great talent, John George even Ringo 👍 did some great songs and vocals, it was all meant to be; my lounge is a Beatles museum 😀, sorry Phil but facts are facts 😢(jealousy is a curse 🤬) ❤❤😊😊
Seen only 1 concert of Genesis in 1986 (?) he was brillant and dominated the whole concert, he ruled the 80ies like it or not, I feel better about the 80ies when I see this lack of talent today
Music today wouldn’t be the same without The Beatles, same as without Elvis. You don’t like them, you have a right to your opinion - but classing them as overrated is ridiculous.
I think musicians are bound to not get along with every other musician they meet. As far as Phil Collins' music is concerned. I found myself enjoying what he & Genesis created in the 1980s. Like every entertainer Phil Collins was not any different from any of the others. They tend to marry and divorce more than one time in their lives. Nothing here to condemn Phill Collins for. He is certainly the worst musician I have heard of.
He seems to find fault with certain people rather easy and sadly seemingly often. Seems to look for an argument. Collins is very " right wing,' at times which rarely helps.

Phil Collins was vastly underrated as a drummer and I've always enjoyed his music.
Phil is ok..overexposure ruined him tho.
I heard a lovely story of Phil’s kindness to his fellow man this fella I was speaking to his father run a butchers shop in petworth in West Sussex business had become really bad because of prolonged road works Phil was a regular in the shop he came in one day to the shop he knew is business was struggling and invited him to come and work with him as a roadie which he did

I think he is a magnificent artist I like his drumming and he has a good voice plus he has a good sense of humour
Paul McCartney is ok. I don't know why people don't like him. Phil Collins is ok. Whoever Paul and Phil has a beef with is between them. Both of their music is good to me
McCartney was always a big head at the Institute.
And Lennon was always acerbic and vitriolic at Quarry Bank.
Lennon always had a vicious streak.
Phil was one of the best singers and drummer just listen too in the air tonite brilliant drum rolls
Love Phil Collins ♥️🎁🙏
Phil Collins is regarded as the best drummer in the world and it´s not just because of his drumfill in "in the air tonight" as some people think. It´s all his work in Genesis and Brand X a lot of people don´t know much about
I was privileged to see Phil Collins live. Awesome show his voice was excellent all the way through!
Winnie Wallace...I get the impression that Mr Collins can be a very difficult man.
Phil Collins is great. Roger Waters is a nasty fellow. The Gallaghers are way overrated. Many of these people are plain jealous.
Seen a few concerts in my days and seen both Phil Collins and Genesis live as a musical talent both Phil and Genesis were the best one of the very few bands that sounded better live than on an album and will greatly missed as a band, just a shame music today can't be this good...

Two great musicians, with egos too big to stay in tune..
Lets just enjoy their music. Leave their troubled minds for themselves to deal with.
He was born in the vibrant city of Wandsworth.
Compared with Paul Phil is ordinary average musician.
I've always liked Phil Collins and not so much the people that he feuded with
Phil 🧠🤝🎶💚.🙏
George Harrison and John Lennon both called Paul very controlling.
Colin’s ok but we all loved ringo a great guy ❤
Paul an international legend a musical genius, written 100s of the best songs, a producer can play at least 10 instruments, worth $1.5billion US his music will be remembered for ever/thanks mum for naming me after him, my sister Pauline!! She met him when he was 14 ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Great drummer, great vocal with Genesis. Listen to his drumming in all the earlier Genesis albums, full of memorable fills.
Phil is good drummer but paul as an artist is legend phil is good but paul is much better musican and songrider 🎉
Cobain never had any thoughts about music. Because he was talentless at music. So having a go at collins means nothing. Collins is actually talented
sounds like a full on attack on a great artist that is Phil Collins
All art is subjective IMO and comes down to personal taste. Anyone who sells millions of their songs is obviously good to millions of people. I don't see how that can be argued with in any rational way.

Phil Collins must wish he had a fraction of the talent McCartney has.
❤ Phill Collins very talented a singer the Greatest ❤
FACT! the best Genesis album was """Trick of The Tail""" that Collins sang on, brilliant! THE BEST Genesis album....
Paul Mc cartney is in another leauge phil collins is not in same leauge he is feuding with to many musicians he should stick to his band mates Paul is God
he is a beutiful guy
He earned a weekly salary of 15 euros!!!!! dont think we have ever had the euro as a currnecy in England, unless I missed something!!!!!
I agree that Collins led Genesis, with its unique artistry and progressive sound, into just another pop band. This move was commercially successful but left plenty of us mourning the musical loss. Would have preferred he kept his pop inclination for his solo career, and allow the classic Genesis to evolve further. Anyway it's history. Classic Genesis died with the departure of Gabriel much as classic Floyd died when Waters left.
In 100 years no one will know who Phil Collins was, The Beatles will live on until humanity ends.
I very much admired and enjoyed his work with Genesis and Brand X but it all went down hill during the 80's
Good evening, it may be a time that we knew, we were young and rock was experienced on MTV. Success, money for commercial music that many people like. That's a feeling.
His songs are great. and im not interested in all this toddle. he's a great songwriter!!!
I read that Paul is to celebrite to give Phil Collins his Autograf 😊❤Phil is a real celebrite drummer in Genesis and so good singer love all his songs❤❤❤❤❤so amazing artist❤and Paul MCartney to with Beatles❤❤❤❤and on his own music😊
We all love Phil !
I have always been influenced more by Phil.
Well I dislike the pair of them
Have for over 40 years
Collins seems to be suffering from paranoia he must be American.
Hi Phil, first
Little Phil is just jealous of McCartney's hair.
I saw him way back as he was a backup group to another group that was more successful!
But the other group disappeared and Phil became famous !
Phil is ok as a pop singer he had some hits but to me his band was moot after Peter Gabriel left.
John was mad at him. Phil Collins was mad at him. Paul must have been a real a-hole
There are always two sides to a story
I remember when Phil Collins was everywhere you looked or whatever radio station you tuned in to. At that time, to me, be was so grossly commercial it make me sick. As well, Genesis with Phil Collins never did anything for me other than 'Turn It On Again,' whereas I love Peter Gabriel and have seen him in concert. Phil Collins has always been a hated commercial melody worm.
Jealousy is a green eyed monster. He's just jealous of mc cartney.
Don't like him
I’m not super into Paul… but we all know Phil Collins is a huge Mutt…real DH…
I remain an admirer of Phil Collins, but I do agree that "he brings it on himself". Witness: when he was drummer for Genesis in the early-1970's, he specifically cited Yes as being a favorite band.

Stuff like than (rightly) led to critics calling Phil out, saying that all of a sudden he's become a black man.
All you need to do is look at the number of people he has 'pissed off' and then he thinks they're the ones in the wrong.
phil is right
To me, even Phil Collins original music sounds like it is coming from a tribute group at a karaoke bar. That King Charles III when he was Prince of Wales, referred to him as a 'musical genius' is a tribute to mediocrity from a rich and mediocre parasite.
Jimmy Page has no right to criticize Collins for Live Aid at all! Page was absolutely off his face on God knows what and played abysmally. He was a far more obvious spectacle and embarrassment than Collins
Phil’s voice is super sexy which I’m sure most men just don’t understand. Sorry guys - women LOVE Phil ❤
Never liked him
Never rated Paul McCartney's voice. Now it is so thin and reedy it is time he knew when to stop.
hE CHANGED IN LIFE TO LOOK LIKE GOLLUM
Jealousy
Phil Collins and Genesis were part of the most hated band in the 70s and I agree with. Their music is pretentious and boring.
Big head
I never knew he existed until I heard In The Air Tonight.. which I liked.. Jimmy Pages criticizing him was in uncalled for, Plants singing & Page’s guitar were well under par.. shambolic I say.. they were the ones unprepared.

I never liked the beatles well over rated band
1st
Never liked the man, or his music. way over rated.....
I have never ever like McCartney. Loved john and George ,McCartney can not say anything nice about john jealousy springs to mind .
He was to Pop, what Margaret Thatcher was to politics, no surprise that a lot of folks hate him
Seen only 1 concert of Genesis in 1986 (?) he was brillant and dominated the whole concert, he ruled the 80ies like it or not, I feel better about the 80ies when I see this lack of talent today
The Beatles were in the right place at the right time, and that is it ,well and truly overrated band
Music today wouldn’t be the same without The Beatles, same as without Elvis. You don’t like them, you have a right to your opinion - but classing them as overrated is ridiculous.
I give him credit for some good vocals with Genesis back in the day. Beyond that he was a bore.
I'm grateful for you explaining to me why I've always disliked Phil Collins. I loved Genesis with Peter Gabriel.
Seems I was right not to like him.
Does he maybe hate him so much because the real one died in the 60's
I think musicians are bound to not get along with every other musician they meet. As far as Phil Collins' music is concerned. I found myself enjoying what he & Genesis created in the 1980s.

Don't like m cartny eny way never have
I love the beatles but i got to admit paul is a very selfcentred guy . Huge ego
