Phil Collins

Phil Collins joined Genesis as drummer in 1970 and became the band's lead vocalist after Peter Gabriel's departure in 1975, leading them to global success while simultaneously launching a parallel solo career in 1981. His distinctive gated reverb drum sound on 'In the Air Tonight' became one of the most recognizable in pop history. Solo hits like 'Sussudio', 'Another Day in Paradise', and 'Against All Odds' made him one of the best-selling artists of the 1980s.
