These two kids should watch Miami Vice.
Funny vid. Their reactions are great. #OldMusicMatters
The hardest working drummer in rock
Brought a big smile to my unmasked face. Thanks for posting.
That’s really cool.
I’m also a big fan of Collins.
been listening to different remakes of PHil collins
This heavy metal one of I Don’t Care Anymore fits my mood sometimes

C’mon, you know we were all waiting for the drums
He did amazing work on the first Brand X album Unorthodox Behaviour.

If you really want to appreciate Collins’ drumming, listen to the “Selling England By the Pound” album.
Love Phil Collins. I sure enjoyed watching those young men feel it!
I have heard that he has acquired and donated several artifacts to the Alamo.
A classic is a classic.
Wait until they hear the ending drums on Peter Gabriel’s “The Rhythm of the Heat”
I grew up on Collins and 80’s pop Genesis. Good stuff, but years later, when I bought their greatest hits, I leaned that the Gabriel era was even better and that Phil Collins is a very underrated drummer.
Way back in the mid-90’s I did some contract work for Microsoft. I was the Systems Engineer of The Microsoft Home, responsible for the maintenance and upgrades for a prototype test environment of the Advanced Prototyping Team. This 2500 square foot area was situated on the Microsoft campus in a nondescript building and had no signage or advertising.
It was designed to emulate a “typical” upper scale family home, except that it had about three million dollars of computers and electronics that hosted scenarios for future technologies.
It also had one of the most impressive sound systems I’ve ever had the pleasure to sample. 3600 watts that could be shuttled anywhere throughout the home using a remote control. And a home-built jukebox that provided a Pandora-like experience - years before that service existed.
Among my duties was a morning ritual where I restarted all of the gear and brought it online, in anticipation of the various executive level tours that took place there.
One of my favorite tunes to check out the audio system was Collin’s “In The Air Tonight”. Everybody has heard the song a thousand times over the years, but you can’t really appreciate the nuances of the audio until you’ve heard it on a really good system.
What a great way to start the morning!
Back when vocalists could carry a tune.

Opposite reaction here: That song was in the air every night when i was growing up and I think I became allergic to it.
I didn’t think it was even possible to hear that song for the first time — but through these kids I felt like I was hearing for the first time and their experience really made me appreciate it.
So basically those kids schooled me.
