That's a shame, and aside from his drumming, Collins has always been ragged on for unfounded reasons for his whole career. I think Collins was a phenomenal drummer for Genesis during the Gabriel era. I like his two vocal contributions to Genesis during the Gabriel era: "For Absent Friends" and "More Fool Me." I like his progressive output for Genesis after Gabriel: "A Trick of the Tail" and "Wind and Wuthering," and I like 80's Genesis and his 80's solo work.
Many people also knock him for his work on Disney movie soundtracks, but who cares-- the guy is incredibly talented. I for one like Gabriel era Genesis better than Collins era Genesis (as many people do), but doesn't mean you can't like Collins as well for different reasons.
