#30 Two Hearts -- Phil Collins (1988)



I was never much of a Genesis fan, either before or after Peter Gabriel’s departure. Nor was I fond of Phil Collins as a solo performer – I mean, the guy turned one of his few good songs (“In The Air Tonight”) into a beer commercial, and resurrected one of the sappiest songs from the British Invasion (“Groovy Kind Of Love” by the Mindbenders), somehow managing to make it sound even worse than the original. This one, however, is a pure pop masterpiece, and I guess serves as redemption for a multitude of other sins.
