Re: Alanis Morrisette and the HBO commercial

I've Phil Collins the drummer and I can't say that I am impressed.  I 
have seen him play with Genesis and I thought he was horrible with Zep at 
the Live Aid deal. I just think he is adequate but because he is a ham he 
gets more attention than he should.  Can you cite any examples of his 
fine drumming?
