Singing (and Playing) With Phil Collins
How well do you know the music of Genesis merges charm and complexity in *A Trick of the Tail*, with "Los Endos" delivering an electrifying instrumental finale laced with earlier themes. Phil Collins stands out vocally on the title track, while *No Jacket Required*’s "Long Long Way to Go," featuring Sting, offers quiet melancholy. "Easy Lover" unites Collins and Philip Bailey for a high-energy anthem, and "In the Air Tonight" remains a chilling, brooding classic. Phil’s live moments, from duets with Laura Pausini on "Separate Lives" to Chester Thompson’s percussive battle on "Drum Duet," display artistry and intensity alike. On the jazzier end, *The Los Endos Suite* recontextualizes Genesis’s sound with Quincy Jones’ orchestration, proving their timeless adaptability.? Take our 12-track quiz.
