In the early '80s, Collins took a break from the helm of Genesis to inaugurate a solo career that abandoned his group's art-rock agenda for a mainstream pop approach. In the ensuing years, the king of Nice Guy Pop established himself as one of the world's premier top 40 balladeers, as evidenced by the wall-to-wall hits that make up the balance of this appropriately titled collection. HITS walks the listener through the smooth, well-produced Collins hits that have worked their way into the collective consciousness of radio listeners (even casual ones) over the years. There are majestic power ballads ("I Wish It Would Rain") to light-hearted, infectious pop-funk ("Sussudio") and moody atmospheric pieces ("In the Air Tonight") HITS represents the full range of material this prolific performer has turned out over the course of his wildly successful career.

Excellent all round CD of one of the best - Hours of great listening pleasure

While Phil Collins style is often indistinguishable from that of Genesis, you'll find this cd much more enjoyable than the Genesis 'greatest hits' equivalent. The Genesis compilation contains about 4 tracks I would consider complete filler, whereas this one is stunning and dynamic, shifting from memorable song to memorable song. Pick this one up first!
