oneirophreniaPhil Collins' first solo album, Face Value, is such an amazing album. It's hard to believe that the same man who did "Droned" and--dear lords!--"In the Air Tonight" also did that Disney song from The Lion King and "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven."
But, then again, Sting was once in the Police, too, and once had an amazing solo career as well...before the forces of middle-age pussydom came crashing into him as well.
Please, don't let me start writing "adult contemporary" songs when I turn 45.
Folk songs, sure. Oldskool country murder ballads, definitely. Hell, I don't even care if I start doing nothing but Vangelis covers--but please, Other Gods, don't let whatever got Sting and Phil Collins get me, too.
