Sorry-would put Neil Peart of Rush or Ian Paice of Deep Purple way above him.
Guys that do their thing so damn well and support he rest of the band instead of posturing themselves as composers.
Phil Collins as a composer sucks. His ability as a drummer is overshadowed by his pomposity.
My opinion. You have yours. There are probably many other things we could agree on over a beer.
You need to listen to some of the Genesis bootlegs during the Gabriel era, and check out Brand X.
And when Robert Plant went out on his first solo tour, who did he want to be his drummer? Phil.
I do agree that Genesis was better when Banks and Rutherford were doing the writing and Phil drummed and sang....A Trick of the Tail is a fantastic album.
