Genuinely affecting [..]

In which the comment / LOLment “I took the 80s for granted” fascinates in the context of such a violently superficial, spiritually bereft era – the ultrabland, American-Psycho-cornball, ‘lite’ soundtrack of which Phil And The Gang did so much to define. Thing is, that context appears to have radically mutated – even for those old enough to have actually experienced it (that is, there’s the sense even they see The 80’s through the modern, postmodern lens of what I term “The Near Future Retro 80s” – the 80s, not only as a unique spacetime in itself but also a rising #Aesthetic potential. Now, Global Videogame Capitalism has successfully invented ‘instant spray-on 80s’, anyone at any time can experience ‘the 80s’ in all it’s hollow, garish neon-tinted glory.
What I can say about Phil Collin’s solo career, is, yes, he did have some overly polished, pop-throwaway songs – but he also had some really great deep cuts that are never talked about, or given the respect they deserve.
