    First he quits the UK to spend more time with his money and now he retires from music. I can't go on.

    The interview quotes Collins as saying he is more interested in his collection of memorabilia from the Battle Of The Alamo than music.

    You know he's outbidding everyone on battleofalamodiggers.com - he'll pay double shipping too.

    This is the best news since Satan announced he is no longer harvesting souls.

    He's gonna be back sooner than you think. If they ANNOUNCE that they're retiring, then you know they won't! If they just kinda slowly fade away, like Patti Smith or Garth Brooks, then you know they're serious about avoiding the spotlight.

    my sole beef with him was his key role in the proliferation of gated reverb on snares.

    makes me wanna puke.

    Yea, they announce it to see what the public reaction is for one last over-priced farewell tour.

    I got no beef with phil. It has become fashionable to hate on dude, and predictably the aged non-street and non-paid peoples of soulstrut are furiously hobbling after that bandwagon.

    The truth of the matter is that no-one can hate on shit like easy lover and in the air tonight. It's impossible, and anyone who tries is merely exposing their hipsterness.

    Phil Collins = Jordan of Rock???


    I wanna know when he bacame hatted on? As a teen a had acquaintences who listened to Genesis. In high school he had his big solo run. By the time i got to college music was changing and he wasnt mentioned like he was, but was always respected.

    Is he part of some other rock catagory that cats cant fuck w/?

    And is Peter Gabriel's run hatted the same way?

    Hard Rockists dont fuck w/ him? He seems to be at least a little more tolerable that Bill Joel.
