In the air tonight.

Another day in paradise
Easy lover (I suppose)

Claim to fame played at gigs in England and America on the same day.. Live Aid '85.
You and Phil Collins?

Shared the plane n all
Concorde

I flew it
Stephenite shagging Baby Spice in the passenger seat.

Both stories more believable than Laoislad courting Debbie McGee.

BigGreenField

The roof is leaking, from the face value album very unlike anything else he is done (I think it's him and a lad on banjo) one of the first Of many songs he did about his multiple divorces

Another Day in Paradise

Against all odds, has half of genesis on backing vocals

One of the most prolific artists of the 80's and a bona fide legend


ONeill

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

AustinPowers

QuoteHe liked songs of misery.
Isn't that a U2 album?

Milltown Row2

In the air tonight.. This song takes me back to a a time when Sonny and Crocket were fighting the good fight in Miami, but the main memory was a 12 hour roller skating night for charity and that song felt as if it was on all night!

Against all odds, cracking song, film never lived up to the song though, considering the stars in it

I wish it would rain down, another classic. what an singer

Others of note

Land of confusion
Sussudio
groovy kind of love
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Phil was just on TOTP:1981. No gorilla playing the drums though.

In The Air Tonight. The wee captions said the tin of paint in the video was a dig at his wife as the song was about their divorce after she was snagging their painter and decorator  ;D
