The whole situation with PC is just very sad...hope MK doesn't go down the same path...

Other than them both being big in the 80s, MK has never really been comparable to PC in any way.

Your right of course Dusty, but I did mean health wise - I wouldn't want to see MK on stage struggling because he had to....

I like some of Phil's and Genesis music, but am not a huge fan, but if I was, and wanted to see them live, this is not what I would want to see, Phil barely able to walk and not playing drums!! It is sad, I wish he would just look after himself and not put himself through yet another big tour.

Phil Collins is a much bigger artist than MK and I don't mean this in a provoking way. MK is sort of a man with an excellent working attitude. But Collins during his Genesis times made a lot of stuff that will last. Mama is superior to anything MK has done. In my opinion.

Seriously, I'm not a huge PC or Genesis fan at all. Don't you think MK has produced much that will last then? As for superior - that's a matter of taste but would not rank PC above MK in any shape or form.....

Comparing Phil Collins to Mark Knopfler is a road to nowhere. In my opinion, of course

It’s all a matter of personal taste. Both will be forgotten soon.

Bing Crosby was the biggest star on the planet not that long ago. Nowadays, not so much.

Should we compare them to David Byrne?

[superval99]

Well, as you say, LE, that's your opinion, but not mine.   Of course, they are completely different artists, but to me MK is far superior and has produced masses of music that is still lasting, even 40 years on.    As for Phil, I think "Mama" is beyond him these days!

Comparing in general is a trap.
Everyone is different.

Quite right Superval, MK is actually way superior and like you say he has produced some very good music that will stay the test of time....

Not sure you can easily compare artistes to be honest as they are all unique in their special way...

MK however is a different kettle of fish!!
