One band/guy that baffles me is Phil Collins and Genesis. He is played on muzak all the time now... why hasn't Collins faded to obscurity? The guy has almost no talent as a pop singer/entertainer, and he can't write lyrics with crap. Maybe "Misunderstanding" and "I Don't Care any More"(or whatever its called) are okay, then everything after that is pretty much shit, their albums are lame as hell.
"Invisible Touch", probably the lamest, most awkward sounding pop song ever, can't imagine somebody ever covering this song except as a joke... but it gets played in 2007, maybe only in America. Do brits still listen to Genesis?
