Phil Collins sure had a lot of hits from mid 1980s to early 1990s.

I don’t believe it doesn’t make your collection complete... the digital streaming from apple, spotify, etc. is super convenient but you don’t ‘own’ that music like you do a quality vinyl and there are many scenarios in which said digital music wouldn’t be accessible.

He was king of taking taking former hits, covering them and making them a hit again. Since the 90s, there hasn't been anything good, so his source dried up

Phil Collins hits?

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake

Somebody fried the shit out of Phil Collins. All his later stuff is .... wallowing in who screwed him over. The love he lost.

Does anyone remember the Columbia House get 10 free albums for a subscription where you have to buy 8 albums over 3 years?

phil sang the Land of Confusion to slam Reagan.....never ceases to amaze me how the Left can do this and IF the Right were to do this they’d been shut down.

He may have been a decent player but apparently the way you sit to play the drums is as an important part of the technique as the playing itself. Collins revealed in 2009 that years of bad posture behind the drumkit meant his spine had crushed his spinal cord, leaving him in constant pain and making it impossible to grip his sticks. He can barely walk now much less play the drums.

I don’t know if you guys ever read the book, but there’s an entire chapter on Patrick talking about Whitney Houston’s debut LP. It was a great book.

“that played mostly in my AMC Pacer”

What color?
What year?
Was it the wagon or the standard Pacer?

The services don’t make your collection obsolete because they aren’t complete. The services have contracts with the labels not the bands. So say you’re into Neil Young, now most of Young’s career he was with WB but he did do that 5 record deal with Geffen. If your service has a contract with WB but not one with Geffen you don’t get those albums. And in fact if you don’t know your Neil Young you’ll never even find out those albums exist.

I’m all about ownership, I don’t necessarily have to own physical, but I must own. No services. And yeah deep catalogs can be fun. I don’t agree about Asia, I think most of their catalog blows. But Fleetwood Mac was so different with Green, and then the interregnum between Green and Buckingham Nicks. Honestly their popular period is their worst period.

One of the benefits of having a music subscription service (i.e. Spotify; Apple Music) is that you can stream pretty much everything ever recorded.

I don't find that to be so. My first try was for "Peterkin Pillowby" by Rosemary Clooney. Not found!
