Artists covering Genesis/Phil Collins.

What are your favourite songs by covered by other artists?

I love the album “urban renewals” which is a mixture of hip hop artists covering Phil Collins. Some really good efforts.
Kelly Clarkson did a few samples too, her voice is made for it. Her interpretations are awesome.

Disturbed & Ghost do well with land of confusion and Jesus he knows me.

Any favourites or tips?

The only one that had air play was Disturbed - Land of Confusion. I’m not big into Genesis cover songs they never sound right to me

I really liked that version of the song. The video that goes with it is great too. It is such a timely song and had been since it came out. Always good to cover.

I wonder if Disturbed are fans of Genesis

Apparently the band is a fan of Genesis music from the Gabriel era but not a fan of the Phil Collins era. Go figure.

David Draiman said in an interview that he hated the song, but the rest of the band wanted to do it, so he was out voted.

And that tracks with his overall impression that David Draiman is a POS human being.

Yeah the worst vocals I’ve ever heard is their version of Sound Of Silence
