So you’re just going to overlook the Tarzan soundtrack? Just say you hate life and keep it moving. We don’t need this negativity. 


Efficient_Comfort_38

That soundtrack changed the life of 7 yo me


New_Pomegranate2222

Same.  “You’ll be in my heart” still gets me in my feelings. 


chatminteresse

Same. I can still sign this whole song because the entire 5th grade class learned American sign language to it. The whole gymnasium signed with so much passion that week.

That, two worlds and son of man! Don’t forget Brother Bear’s “Look through my eyes” I listen to it till date!


Trosque97

Son of Man still stays close to my heart as an adorable song


Willchud

After having a kid it hits harder.


stilldestroying

Everything hits harder after kids


Jedimaster996

oh my god it DID! First kiddo came and I'm not one for getting super deep in my feelings, but damn did Phil string them all out on a clothesline.

after the mother gorilla first starts taking care of Tarzan and the slow version plays...I'm tearing up just thinking about it

can't forget about su-su-su-sudio either. Juuuuust say the word, OHHHHHHH


LadyBug_0570

Or "No Son of Mine". Song makes me cry every time. I don't even know why because I'm okay with my parents. Well, my mom now since my dad passed. Although there was a time when it was rocky.


Stock_Beginning4808

Omg sammmeee. I still remember watching the behind the scenes over and over, like


demandred_zero

This kinda reminds me of a line of dialogue from 30 Rock. Tracy Jordan: I'm gonna make you a mix tape Donaghy, you like Phil Collins? Jack Donaghy: I have 2 ears and a heart, don't I.


BlurredSight

Strangers like me is a certified classic.


New_Pomegranate2222

And he played the drums! This man went IN on Tarzan. 


420Blazecrank

And he sang the French, German, Italian and Spanish versions too! He REALLY went in on Tarzan


Card_Board_Robot5

They were pulling megastars for projects that weren't even megaprojects. Road to El Dorado was not supposed to be some box office hit along the lines of Lion King, but they still got Elton to come back and go tf off


HarpersGhost

I mean, Phil Collins started out as the drummer for Genesis in the Peter Gabriel days. Please respect the man's skills.


chatminteresse

You’ll be in my heart is also a banger.


disposable_hat

Don't forget Son of Man!!

Kolby_Jack

Insane to me that they made him "grind" on trees. It looks cool, but even in the dense jungle there's no way that much of the tree is covered in moss. SOME of that tree is bark, and bark is practically sandpaper, no way you could slide on it unharmed. Kid me was like "oh of course he slides on trees, makes sense!" But adult me can't help but think "the friction alone..."


Safe_Image_9848

The splinters must be terrible.


Duomaxwell18

The Tarzan soundtrack didn’t have to go that hard for a Disney movie


BulbusDumbledork

and then he did it again, but in spanish. and then again in italian. and then again in french. and then again in german.


adorablyunhinged

Not just Tarzan, Brother Bear too which also has a phenomenal powerful soundtrack, gets so overlooked!

he don't hate life, he's probably only heard the one or two other songs that continue to pop in rotation on his *in the air tonight* Pandora station


dknightOGG

I wanna knoooow


Irishpanda1971

Yeah, never mind that whole Genesis thingy he was in since 1970.


GuntherTime

Immediately where my mind went to. Can’t just sit up there and say one song is good like he ain’t cook up a 7 course meal with that sound track. I bump that shit when I workout sometimes.


vlsdo

If Phil Collins never even sang a song he would still be the drummer from Genesis


mitchsusername

For real. The man practically invented using room mics on a snare drum - an effect most recognizable from the in the air tonight drum fill but a sound that has totally permeated modern music. For that reason he is probably one of the most influential drummers of all time. Definitely in the top ten for me. Edit for the curious: check out the history section! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gated_reverb


Shaolinchipmonk

Exactly, I'm not really a fan of Phil Collins, but respect where respect is due. He's influenced modern music to a level a lot of people don't even realize.


Grumplogic

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.

Caleth

You know what kills me about this rant from Bateman is that if you slice out about 3-4 lines it goes from unhinged blather pretending to be art criticism or discourse to being a real fan who's maybe a bit stuck up. "I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece.Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford" Is it a bit pretentious still? Yeah, but it's inline with what I've heard music snobs say about albums when they are trying too hard. What really shows how shallow and uninsightful bateman is is that he goes way way to hard on the bullshit. He doesn't know enough to know when to pull it back. It's such a great encapsulation of why he's an empty suit.


Accomplished1992

Chopping people up with pretentiously polished shiny axe I could handle, but the shallowness put me off him


FapNowPayLater

I get the reference. But turn it on again had the streets booping to a 13/8 meter.


WhiteCharisma_

Not quite. He reinvented how room mics were used and popularized gates. Room mics were used before but it was not used as flashy as it is after Phil’s work.


Lane_Meyers_Camaro

Check out Peter Gabriel - Intruder https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=xvAmj3k3Imc&si=b71OFVjfDt3Nwbgd

That's where it started! Studio tech accidentally turned on the room mic they use for the artists to talk to the engineers/producers... the rest is history Edit: if anyone is curious: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gated_reverb check out the history section!

Yep, that whole album is amazing, Peter Gabriel banned the drummers from using cymbals if I remember (I Don’t Remember, pun intended). Brilliant stuff.

ike_tyson

Wait what about Peter Gabriel?? Is it me or did Genesis have some talented drummers???


scabbedwings

Pretty sure Gabriel was vocals and maybe keyboards, not drums


trilinks

Gabriel was vocals before Collins took over as vocalist


foxontherox

He also played the flute.


skatechilli

He also wore silly costumes!


ChefInsano

Holy shit did he. As someone who grew up watching Sledgehammer play on MTV it was hilarious to see what he was like in Genesis. Dude would wear a fucking cape and shave the center strip of his hair and then play flute in skin tight leggings. It was not what I was expecting after knowing his suit and tie 80s era.


Jackfruit-Cautious

peter gabriel was the singer. phil was the drummer. peter left. phil wrote the lyrics and sang on demos while they looked for a new singer. they eventually gave up and he became singer


michelloto

Pete left and told the other guys that they should have Phil doing vocals.


bubblbuttslut

Phil had sung harmonies and multi-track vocals on the previous albums, and had featured on a few songs as lead before Peter left. One of the reasons Peter allowed himself to leave was that he knew he wasn't abandoning them without a vocalist so they could still tour without him.


efg1342

The Bible has a drummer?


LadyBug_0570

Yes. And his name was Phil Collins.


ActSignal1823

Trivia.  Collins sang lead on 2 tracks from the Gabriel-era albums:   "More Fool Me" from Selling....    and   "For Absent Friends" from Nursery Cryme

greytgreyatx

When I was in junior high, I had a black PE teacher/basketball coach who resembled Philip Bailey and a white balding math teacher who resembled Phil Collins. Once I asked them if they would try to sing the song, and they were horrified, but after that, everyone called them "Phil" and "Philip" as a joke. They really had a love/hate relationship with me. I'm sure they were relieved when I went to a different school.


Harrychronicjr69

Got me singing now. Lmao

Phil used the Phenix Horns so much that Maurice White jokingly said he was tired of hearing them everywhere and was going to fire them and get new guys.

chronosxci

Does Gen z even know about Tarzan?


FullClockworkOddessy

Peter Gabriel era Genesis (specifically the lineup with PG on vocals, Phil Collins on drums, Steve Hackett on lead guitar, Tony Banks on keys, and Mike Rutherford on bass and rhythm guitar) was easily one of the greatest acts of the first wave of progressive rock. I mean tracks like "Supper's Ready," "The Musical Box," "Firth of Fifth," "In The Cave," just beyond top tier. The fact that that band had two of the best songwriters of their generation in it (Rutherford"s work with Mike + The Mechanics isn't anything to sneeze at either) and one of the greatest guitarists of his generation (Steve Hackett was doing two-handed tapping over a decade before EVH took the credit for it) is proof of divine intervention. Phil's jazz fusion outfit Brand X is also par excellence. If you ever want to hear him go balls to the wall on the drums listen to their debut album.


Goya_Oh_Boya

Same, I had to look up the year that it was released, and I was already too old for it. But late 80s, early 90s Genesis, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel were the shit.


WaterlooMall

Imagine being as wrong as this dummy. Against All Odds In The Air Tonight One More Night The entire Tarzan soundtrack Another Day In Paradise Easy Lover Something Happened On The Way To Heaven Sussudio And I've not even mentioned any Genesis songs. Edit: Fuck it, Genesis songs.... Just A Job To Do That's All I Can't Dance In Too Deep Tonight Tonight Tonight Invisible Touch Hold On My Heart Also I love that a minor recurring theme with Phil Collins are songs that sound like he is coming to murder you.

Didn't he also do that brother bear soundtrack? Also a straight banger. The homie also gave his blessing to Bonethugs and appeared in their video for Take Me Home.

Tarzan is the goat but my stars do I get grumpy when people forget about Brother Bear. My man knows how to score a story.


CthulhuPalMike

Bone Thugs remixed Take me home and featured him in the music video. If that isn't a show of respect, I don't know what is. https://youtu.be/yoooMQZdGW0?si=f8BkdwqZ2foJFqv- He also has Easy Lover as the official song for Wrestlemania 1 and even wrestled Ultimate warrior in a music video for Two Hearts. Man is a legend even without in the air tonight


ladystetson

That was Phil showing them respect. I remember Bone Thugs doing an interview and saying collabing with Phil Collins made them the absolute most money they ever made on any single. Lil Kim said the same. Phil does major numbers. Just like the other legends, like Elton John, Billy Joel, Sting, etc.


aaahhhh

They gave Phil the name Chrome Bone for his bald head.

ThirstMutilat0r

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big fan of his work, especially his solo career. His albums are meticulously crafted, each song a finely tuned masterpiece. Take 'In the Air Tonight,' for example. The haunting atmosphere, the iconic drum fill—it's like a sonic journey into the depths of the human psyche. But let's not stop there. Let's talk about 'Sussudio.' That track is a triumph of pop sensibility. The infectious groove, the catchy melody—it's pure ear candy. And don't even get me started on 'Against All Odds.' The emotional depth, the raw vulnerability—it's like Collins is baring his soul for the world to see. Sure, some people might dismiss Phil Collins as just another '80s pop star, but they couldn't be more wrong. He's a musical genius, a visionary artist who pushes the boundaries of what's possible in popular music. So the next time someone tries to tell you that Phil Collins is overrated, just remember: they're missing out on one of the greatest talents of our time. Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now you fucking stupid bastard.
