Her father couldn't play them (or sing) either...

Go listen to some early Genesis live bootlegs and tell me Phil couldn't drum.

A bit of useless trivia: In the Beatle’s film Hard Day’s Night, a young Phil Collins was a paid extra. He was part of the screaing fans scenes.

Try the first three Brand X albums. Sorry, but on the drums, Phil was a (diminutive) monster!

I know all about Phil Collins and Genesis; for some reason, I've never liked Genesis even with Peter Gabriel, ever.

Listen to Keith Moon if you want to hear some awesome playing. There are parts of Quadrophenia where he is simply amazing during the instrumentals, same thing on Tommy. Unfortunately, the same things that made him a great drummer also contributed to his (same thing with John Bonham) untimely death. His stint as Wicked Uncle Ernie in Tommy is probably more real than acting if you've seen The Kids Are Alright.

Keith Moon starts around 4:00 minutes.

I could be wrong though since I haven't listened to either in years but I did see the movie Tommy recently and I was amazed at how incredibly bad it was although Ann Margret is still hot in it.
