Phill Colins at Glasto 2010

[Langdale Wolf]

Sorry, but anyone saying Mark Knopfler would be a bad choice cleary have not seen what the guy can do. He's an amazing musician.

Stick him on at Jazzworld. Maybe not as a headliner, but the sunset slot or something. Get him to play Telegraph Road, Follow Me Home, The Man's Too Strong etc, etc and then come back to me and tell me he's shit. Because he's far, far from it.

I can't think of a better occasion than Knopfler at Jazzworld, with a cider in my hand and the sun going down above me.

Class.

No to Collins , yes to Knopfler - He can pull it off on the Jazz; I would go and watch just for sultans of swing

[Alzeefest]

I guess I’m in the minority in saying I quite like Phil Collings!!!!

Years ago I remember leafing through the Guardian's arts bit, into the music pages.

Their coverage was normally, as it is today, quite sober in its style.

This particular day, there was a double page spread with a picture of Phil Collins, and a massive headline saying:

"This Man Must Be Stopped".

e2a... found it. Not quite the same visual impact, but here's the Guardian's verdict in 2000:

I think that Simon Amstell put it best on Buzzcocks when he said "Phil Collins has recently announced that he is going deaf due to years of live music, which makes him the luckiest person at a Phil Collins concert."

[Langdale Wolf]

Apart from Twisting by The Pool.

Especially if you sing the chorus in the style of the Old Gits off the Fast Show. Twistin' Yeeer. Twistin'.

I'm not that much of a fan of Money for Nothing.

Or Walk of Life either.

But Telegraph Road, Brothers in Arms, Private Investigations - there are plenty good uns that outweight the bad ones.

Some awesome tracks from "Brothers in Arms" as well.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Agreed. Latest Trick, Why Worry, One World.

But not Walk of Life, or Money for Nothing.

[Mardy]

doesn't do anything for me, been pondering it al day, just comes down to the fact that I don't like guitar histrionics of any sort, jeff beck, led zep, mark knopfler, any of it. Don't know why, just doesn't do it for me. Might also explain my doslike of blues based rock and that, I guess.

How could I forget Why Worry?

I pulled a girl once by playing her twat. She was feeling delicate at the time. I felt like a right bastard afterwards. Good job we went out for 6 months a while later.
