I hope that Phil Collins is retired.
I wish he had retired 25 years ago, but that's just my humble opinion

A-men.

How many wretchedly bad albums did Neil Young put out between masterpieces? Rhetorical question; I own all of them, I guess I could go count. Neil has rocked my world often enough that I'll gamble on something he produces, and I even find a few gems on those bad records.

Paul Simon is similar. A body of work that merits cutting him some slack.
 
I was thinking I should go listen to Trans again. Then again maybe not...
 
I remember hearing people jabber on about Graceland for a year at least before I listened to any of it, and then it was You can Call Me Al, which is cool, but not the "wow" songs... which took me another year, probably, to discover. All because of some notoriously iffy self-indulgent stuff that led up to it.

This is why people get pissed off at you. Your retort is simply playground banter at best. "Make me?" Really, "Make me" is the best you have?
 
STFU? Really? Is that the best you have?

So, I express an opinion, you tell me to STFU, and I am the one pissing people off? Interesting...

When Manbird says "Make me" does he piss you off too?

I am not responsible for what pisses you off.

If you mean "The Obvious Child", that's a song from 1990. Can't speak for his truly new stuff.

Besides, aren't you an artist?
