Hits by Phil Collins

Pros: Some of the Eighties and early Nineties' best songs.
Cons: Not as comprehensive as it should be.

I tend to live and die by the Greatest Hits collection. As a child of 80's-early 90's Top 40 radio, i've come to realize that most of the artists I liked from my youth sound best when they're distilled into a quick overview of their biggest pop moments. ...

Pros: Over an hours of some of the hottest songs of the 80's.
Cons: Sussudio is not in the dictionary.

To some Phil Collins is known as one of the most successful pop artist of the 1980s. I’ve been a fan of Phil Collins for a very long time; perhaps that’s why I enjoy listening to his 1998 CD titled, “PHIL COLLINS …HITS”.

Pros: A comprehensive collection of PHil Collins best
Cons: A few songs aren't really that good

Phil Collins has been a major force on the pop scene since the early eighties when he was carousing with Peter Gabriel and co. in Genesis. He has had morality songs, light-hearted fare, steamy love songs and sincere ballads. All this has been done in...

Pros: Choc-a-bloc with cheesy pop goodness.
Cons: Couple of songs that aren’t here, and really should be. One dud.

Ah, Phil Collins. My first memory of his music would be when I was, hmm, about 10 or so, and my parents persistently played one of his CDs (can’t remember which...) in the car. It prompted me on many occasions to demand that they “turn the awful...

Pros: Has most of his big 1980s (and '90s) hits
Cons: Is missing several songs I enjoyed

Phil Collins was one of the most ubiquitous artists on the radio during the 1980s. As the drummer and lead singer of the British art-rock band Genesis, he was already an album rock staple as the decade began. However, as the '80s progressed, he found...

Pros: Very Good Compilation from Phil Collins
Cons: Incomplete due to missing hits.

In the 1980s, pop music was the dominate force of the decade with such acts as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lionel Richie, Elton John, and, Richard Marx. Another artist that dominated the 80s with pop hits was Phil Collins. From his years as a...

Pros: Some of the big hits showing Phil at his musical best
Cons: Every greatest hits album has some songs you disagree with

Many have called Phil Collins ‘bubblegum’ rock. If that’s the case, by all means please give me more bubblegum!

This version of Phil’s greatest hits contains 16 songs. For a career that hasn’t always been solo, that’s not a bad number of...

Pros: Phil's vocals, drums, keyboard
Cons: No lyrics included, a couple of snoozers

Since this is a compilation CD of Phil's greatest hits, I will lead you song by song in this review. 1) Another Day in Paradise: I usually don't pay much attention to the lyrics of songs, since I am more of a "how does the beat sound" kind of guy. But ...

Pros: Wonderful variety, a lot of popular songs
Cons: none really

If you want a perfect collaborative/greatest hits effort by Phil Collins, this would have to be your album. There are a lot of movie soundtracks on here that will come to mind once you hear them.

This album has the following tracks:

...

Pros: Good 80's stuff
Cons: A few weak 90's tracks

Phil Collins was unstoppable in the 80's the genesis man kept rolling out the hits through the mid and late 80's. On this album we see many catchy and nice ballads and in this album we see some motown and r’n’b influences which hook you in.
...

Pros: synthesizer. "in the air tonight". jazzy brass section on a couple of songs.
Cons: phil collins sings like a drunk bum.

i was first introduced to phil collins in the movie risky business. there's this one scene where tom cruise is doing that chick on the subway. in context, the song is excellent. on the album it's still pretty good. but the rest of the album is downright...

Pros: Lives up to its name in that these songs actually were hits
Cons: Very few

Phil Collins is great--but some of the songs included on this album lack something that would place them into the annals of great hits. But, the album makes up for some unfortunate selections by including the brilliant In the Air Tonight. If you're looking for a fix of 1980s/90s pop hits, this albums for you. Unlike some "Greatest Hits" albums, most of the songs included on this album actually were big hits, even if some of those hits aren't of the same caliber as others.
