Best Phil Collins Song
Phil Collins has been a staple of the rock and pop music worlds since the 1970s. In the 1980s, he became an unlikely solo superstar, achieving seven US No. 1 hits between 1982 and 1990. In fact, if you combine his solo songs and the mega hits he charted as the frontman in Genesis, Mr. Collins had more US Top 40 singles than any other artist in the 1980s. While he has largely exited the spotlight in recent years, after making that cozy Disney cash, the Great Pop Culture Debate doesn’t want to take his musical legacy at face value. So we want to know: what IS the Best Phil Collins Song? “Sussudio”? “Against All Odds”? “In the Air Tonight”? “One More Night”? “Take Me Home”? “Something Happened on the Way to Heaven”? “In the Air Tonight”? “Easy Lover”? Or something else altogether?
It’s a special PATREON-SPONSORED episode of Great Pop Culture Debate! Best Supporter Ever Chad Rezsnyak joins Eric Rezsnyak, Kate Racculia, and special guest Todd Rezsnyak for a thorough discussion of Phil Collins’ musical catalogue as they attempt to name the best Phil Collins Song ever.
