hey US if I was include in that compliment, thanks!
It was my first review here. I scanned around the thread to see if it was on a scale from 0 to 5 or 1 to5 or 1 to 10. I didn't know so I used the 10/10 scale just to avoid decimals in fractions. I did go back and edited to be compliant to your matrix.
I like Phil's vocals on the post-Gabriel era material. It seems natural to hear Phil's voice on songs he recorded. Peter Gabriel haunts the songs Phil sings from the Gabriel-era, and I think for people who know the two eras, in the back of thier mind they are comparing the two - I know I sometimes do. Peter Gabriel had a post-modern/existentialist stage presence. Phil Collins had his own comedy
schtick. I heard he would do Steve Martin impersonations and stick the tambourine down his pants for yucks. But Peter was also known for a bit of humour of his own. Like showing up in his wife's red dress wearing a fox head mask without the bands prior knowledge or democratic consent.
