If you reverse the trend line, I think you're on to something -- a river meandering between the banks of good and suck, with ever-increasing silt deposits of crud.  Call him Stevie Wonder.

II.  Phil started to suck just as his wife left him, which (perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not) corresponds to when his solo career started -- call him Peter Townsend without the part about sex with Mick Jagger*.
[/q]

a) wasn't Bowie and Jaggar?

b) solo Townshend most certainly does not suck.

c) you mispelled Pete's name - see b

[q]
III(b). Genesis always sucked, too.  Indeed everything which Collins has ever touched sucked
[/q]

Blasphemer! You shall listen to the Lamb 100 in a row as penance.

And then listen to the Quicksilver soundtrack by Tony Banks...oh wait. Nevermind. That does suck.*

(*Actually, I don't know if it does or not. My garage sale copy is on vinyl and I don't own a record player.)

You spelled Mick's name wrong.  Jagger was with everybody.  Maybe that's where Nickerson... never mind.

I had the "h" and pulled it back.  Should have trusted my instincts.  "Rough Boys" may have been written by Neil Sedaka.  Solo Pete is indefatigably suck.

I am not an alumnus of III(b).  I'm a "II. Phil started to suck just as his wife left him" man, myself, and I could listen to any of the early G at least four times in a row without being violently ill.

I had no idea Banks had a solo career.  I have visions of Rick Wakeman and shiver.

Luckily, he rarely did his own vocals.  The album "Still" featured Fish, among others, doing the vocal duties, and "Angel Face" is one of the best tracks Tony ever worked on (including much of Genesis).
