Wes Phillips

"Phil Collins is one artist that revisionism will not save. The argument canbe made—not here, but it can be made—that Paul McCartney's post-Beatles work is not uniformly execrable, that the Dave Clark Five, the Monkees, the Bay City Rollers, Duran Duran, Menudo and Rush deserved far better critical treatment than they got, and that Billy Joel is not the anti-Christ. But no revisionist approach, no matter how passionate, no matter how arch, no matter how clever will ever alter the fact that Phil Collins bites the big one."
