I would recommend going backwards in his discography, taking a long listen to PG4 Security. And then go right back to his work in Genesis... awesome!

Those aren't songs but LPS, from the late 60s/early 70s onwards - Gabriel's voice. Some brilliant stuff and some haunting melodies. You should check them out.

>Maybe all I heard was the crap being fed to me on the top 40 stations at the time. I have never really like Phil Collins either.

Agreed. 1980s - Phil Collins became Mr Middle-of-the-Road. I can never forgive him for "You can't hurry love" and that Miami Vice incidental music "I can feel it comin' in the air at night" or whatever it was called. About this time that Genesis got out the pipe and tartan bedroom slippers.

>Feel the same way about Journey, and for some reason, I always mix those two groups up and have the same level of apathy for their music.

Just remind me what Journey did ...
