the 1980s, winning radio stations' listener polls and even lending its designer threat to an episode of Miami Vice. Hits recalls the days when the Collins name on a disc ensured its immediate embrace by programmers and the public. How you feel about these songs will depend on how you felt about them then; despite the undeniable niceness of "Take Me Home" and "One More Night", they're unlikely to win over anyone who didn't adore them to begin with. Those who cared, though, will no doubt be gladdened to find most of Collins's biggest tunes together on one disc. --Rickey Wright

Advantages: Quality collection of Phils Greatest Hits Disadvantages: A few tracks not justifying enough
...just any album, his Greatest Hits and that's why Collins entitles this album.... the......Hits.
Phil Collins was one of the biggest songwriter/singers of the 80's decade and carried on making his career a success right through the early 90's and managed to succeed more with other leading artists such as Brandy updating his ' Paradise ' song. So here's the album, his greatest hit's and why I think you should buy the album! ------------------------------------
... ...collection of Phil Collins Greatest Hits right through the 80's till now. I've used the word ' meant' because I'm not sure if he justifies himself. Considering it's entitled Hits ( The Greatest Hits ) I'd have not expected but more had of hoped to have a more fully complete album. I find the album disappoints me with a few weak tunes 1/3 the way through the album but does end on a quality high! Many of you know him well, his tunes, the music and ...

Advantages: 16 Great songs Disadvantages: design of cover
Phil Collins ...Hits has 16 of his most popular songs, and is one of my favorite CD's.
Songs it contains are:
1. ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE 5.22 from 1989...'BUT SERIOUSLY'
A great song recently remade by Brandy and Ray J. This like many of Phils songs contain great lyrics and tell the story of an old homeless woman.
2. TRUE COLORS 4.33 from 1988...'HITS'
Like in all of Phils songs he plays the drums in this one. It was sang on a car advert by ... ...WALL'
4. YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE 2.53 from 1982...'HELLO... I MUST BE GOING'
5. TWO HEARTS 3.25 from 1989...'BUSTER' soundtrack
This is one of two songs from the film BUSTER where Phil played Ronnie Biggs, The Great Train robber who was in the news recently after returning to England.
6. I WISH IT WOULD RAIN DOWN 5.28 from 1989...'BUT SERIOUSLY'
This is a great song in which Eric Clapton is playing the guitars.
7. AGAINST ALL ODDS 3.23 from 1984...'AGAINST ...

Advantages: Its phil what more can i say Disadvantages: nada!
...again!
I purchased this latest hits one on CD (no Im not lending this out to no one!)
It has all my favourite tracks on one, its an album not just for us oldies(ok im 29 lol)who remember him, but I know a few younger people who like this too.
It has a good mix of songs.
A lot are ballads, but there are a few upbeat tunes too.
You cant hurry love the old supremes cover, done by phil is excellent, you just have to sing along to it.
The two from ... ...any on here i dont like.
There isn't anything new on here, but then it is a greatest hits compilation, and it certainly is greatest hits.
And listening to it on the car cd system, snuggled up in the back seat, zooming down the M25 is pretty awesome too (*L*) ...

Well... What can I say? I have been an avid Genesis/Collins fan for quite a while now and my CD collection consists mainly of that!

2. True Colours
3. Easy Lover
4. You Can't Hurry Lve
5. Two Hearts

11.One More Night
12. Sussudio
13. Dance Into The Lght
14. A Groovey Kind f Love
15. In The Air Tonight
16. Take Me Home
On most CD's you get the odd track that you don't really like, but not with this one. t might be so that we have them all already on other CD's but this compilation of all his best stuff really shows the true talent of the legend that he is.
This CD is very ...

I recently bought the CD Phil Collins.....Hits. I only really bought it for the song True Colors, but it has many other classic Collins songs on it such as You Can't Hurry Love, Two Hearts, and Against All Odds. I think that this CD is only one to buy if you're really into Phil Collins, if you're just wanting one of his songs, look around for a CD with music from various artists, or your going to end up with a CD which you payed a lot of money for, ...
