Legend OBLITERATED His Cheating Wife ALL Across Radio on This BRUTAL 80s Hit | Professor of Rock

"I don't care anymore" probably saved my life. As a bullied high school student, I would listen to this on repeat in my car as I drove around at night, the only escape I had that told me that I didn't have to let the cruel kids beat me down into potentially suicidal thoughts. They wouldn't have cared if I lived or died, and this song made me realize that I didn't have to care about what they thought about me. Not Phil's reason for writing the song, but definitely my reason for making it through very rough teenage years.

Nobody had more hits in the 80's than Phil Collins and his ballads are some of the best ever.

I was in Army Basic Training and we had received access to our personal items, clothes, walk men. I had a tape of “hello I must be going” And was in the latrine shaving and cleaning up and was singing “I don’t care anymore”. I was singing out loud and one of my drill sergeants walked in and yelled at me. “You better start caring” he said and made me drop and do push ups. 30 plus years later, I guess I’ll never forget it.

As someone who went through a divorce, I knew how the death of the relationship was much harder than the legal process. Phil expressed this so well in his music.

This song helped me through my split with my cheating ex. Once I learned that she lied to me from day one, and that she was sleeping around willy nilly, this song hit home. I finally understood that I never knew her, so how could I miss someone I never knew...

Phil is a legend. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love his music. I can feel it coming in the air tonight is epic! That drum solo!!

Official Phil Collins record sales: 150 millions. Official Genesis record sales: 100 million. A quarter of a billion records! And drumming/producing for people like Eric Clapton, Frida from ABBA, drumming for Mike Oldfield, Peter Gabriel, Brand X. Phil is a proper musical legend!

Phil is legendary. His lyrics, voice, and emotion pulled you in as if it were your own experiences. Love his solo work along with his work with Genesis. Maybe not the best at family life, but a great musician.

I was born in late 77 and thankfully had a 1980's childhood. One of the absolute best things about being fortunate enough to live through that decade was all the cultural things going on. When I want to be transported back to the best times in my life 3 things get me there really easy in my head: Phil Collins music, Back To The Future movies and Miami Vice / A-Team, etc TV shows. You were a captive audience in the 80's...just enough tech to be able to experience so much but not enough to be consumed by it or miss out on actually living. That's what it represents to me I suppose

To say that Phil Collins was bitter in "I Don't Care Anymore" would be an understatement. LOL - This was one of the songs that put Phil Collins (as a solo artist) on my radar and opened the door for me to his music. Some bands/artists were hit or miss. with Phil Collins, he was always a hit. Love his stuff, this one included.

As a Texan, I appreciate that Phil Collins does “Remember the Alamo!” He is a huge patron of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. Very surreal to hear him narrate the battle of the Alamo in the museum he paid to have built on the Alamo grounds.

I’m 42 and I grew up on Phill and Genesis. I remember being a little girl, dancing in our living room with my parents to his songs. My son now 16 used to refer to what concert he wanted to watch as a small child as “Phill with hair and Phill without hair”, and I absolutely love this! He’s an icon! Oh, forgot to mention, this was my moms “Divorce Song” when she left my dad in 84.

He definitely is in a class of his own, and so many of his songs are so emotion packed! In the air tonight is my absolute favorite.

Phil is also an underrated producer. He produced the first solo album for Frida from ABBA, there’s something going on which included her only huge American hit “ there’s something going on“. Phil’s drumming is all over the song

Phil Collins in the 80's, was a lot like Alannis Morrisette in the 90's. Her lyrics spoke to so many people who had been treated badly, and were fed up with it. Her lyrics were angry, she was pissed, and she wasn't going to take the BS any more. Women LOVED IT!! You Oughta Know had such a rockin' guitar and driving beat, and such a memorable verse, you could sing along with it immediately! It was kind of a reflection of Phil's album, but from the woman's side. It was relatable to men and women, but Jagged Little Pill was full of heartbreak in one song, and then defiance and anger in another. She sold 33 million copies of that one album globally. I was a huge fan of Peter Gabriel, Genesis and Phil Collins in the 80's. They were all amazing!

Phil not only wears his heart on his sleeve, he sings it too. His first post divorce album is actually Duke, where he wrote many songs that went to Genesis, such as Please Don’t Ask, Misunderstanding, and part of the Duke suite where he shouts “take what’s yours and be damned”. Tony Banks even praised Phil for his vocals on Duke, as Phil became a real singer due to his strong emotional vocal chops.

Phil is great. He bought then donated many items to The Alamo Museum. It's uncanny how much he sounded like Peter Gabriel. I saw Genesis in 1978. He did a juggling act during the show.

The effects of divorce are awful and for me, I don't know if I will ever feel quite as good again. Phil definitely puts the massive exclamation point on the sadness, anger and depression I have been feeling.

Phil’s drumming on Robert Plants first two solo albums is incredible

Phil is and will always be a legend! I listen to his music all the time and his drum solo in “Coming in the air tonight” is unforgettable!
