Is there an artist whom you don't generally like but who has one song you absolutely love?


~ I love this song and how Collins sings it!

    Take your time, my friend.

    I only asked the question because anytime I hear this song, I think of this being a prime example of how much I like it, along with the fact that I don't generally like most of Collins' (and Genesis) stuff. But I respect his talent immensely!

    I must go lie down now- - have been sick for a couple of days, just damn tired, too, along with it all. You've made me smile with all your questions and comments tonight! Thanks!

    Did you ever hear any of Genesis' early stuff, with Peter Gabriel fronting them?

    I was sort of thinking the same thing, Slartibartfast. I think I typed in "Genesis" too quickly in my comment up there. I should have qualified my question/answer/comment as pertaining only to Collins' solo stuff. I've not heard enough of Genesis to have said what I said. ( I probably haven't even heard all of Collins' solo stuff.)
    Thanks for the good eye!

    Im not a huge fan of either, although both are pleasant enough. I do particularly like one that Gabriel did with Kate Bush. Gave me incentive to carry on when things seemed hopeless:

    I can see why this song would help in tough times.






    "Don't give up because you've got friends." 

    I find that a refreshing line in a world of songs only talking about Significant-Others' Love Songs, one-to-one. (I realize this song goes a bit to that topic, too, but  the song seems to address everyday life, just getting by with the help of many people/things/etc.)

    I hadn't heard this song before. Thanks, Slartibartfast.

    Rolf Harris. I despise him as a person (paedophile) but like most of his songs.

    I can certainly understand that, Slartibartfast!
    Thanks for answering, too!

  • I don't know a lot about David Gates and this is the only song I have of his, but I really like it and I liked the movie as well.

    I knew that the Gates name (and voice here) rang a bell to me. He sang with the group Bread also. I like quite a few songs by them. I like this song and this movie, too!!
