I actually really do prefer listening to them more than the Beatles or Stones! :oops:
Phil Collins is also a master of his dark art and I'll not be bowed into denying his genius....
The truth of what we really enjoy ONLY honestly comes out when we are ALONE in the car at night or on the motorway where nobody is watching and we happen to have the radio on a local/regional FM station...
An on pops "I Want It That Way" or "Easy Lover"...
Even "In the Air Tonight"...
Don't dare LIE and say you don't all go... Dumm, Dumm dum dum ect when that tom roll kicks in.

If you are referring to the Beatles circa Abbey Road & the original release of Let it Rot (sorry Let it be), or the Stones post 1972 I could have some sympathy with your statement (ducks for cover himself)
I can actually tolerate the Backstreet boys better than Phil Colons (intentional misspelling). I also have to say that his output is considerably better than Mike and the Mechanics (how could Paul Carrack stoop so low).
That bloody run around the toms is on every single track he ever drummed on. The only black art I can think of was how he convinced reputible artists to allow him to produce their albums ! He is a drummer for gods sake
Easy Lover I can actually make it to the end of (I always liked Baileys voice), and I even have to admit to adoring the Intro to in the air tonight.
Jeez I thought my Echo & the Bunnymen confession was bad
I did once go and see Level 42 come to think of it, I suppose that was worse than Mr Colon, but to be honest they where feckin awful (and that was with the assistince of Mr Holdsworth)
I also went to see Imagination (remember them), they where excellent, I am proud to have paid to see men dancing around in transparent trousers
