Not kitsch, but a great beat: honor rescue by Phil Collins

The article discusses Phil Collins' upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, highlighting his controversial reputation despite his musical achievements. While many critics, including Noel Gallagher, have strongly disliked Collins due to his pop ballads and perceived excess, the article acknowledges his significant contributions as a drummer for Genesis and his versatility as a musician. Collins' career spans multiple roles, including frontman for Genesis after Peter Gabriel's departure, participation in various projects like Brand X, and collaborations with artists such as Brian Eno and John Martyn. Despite his success, Collins remains a polarizing figure, often associated with kitschy music, though his drumming skills and influence on rock music are undeniable.
