Phil Collins is the main reason I don't listen to Genesis. Probably I should bite the bullet and try their more esteemed works.

Tip: I was buying some cheap gin at the local liquor store, and the cashier was listening to something middle eastern (Pakistani I was guessing). The vocalist was outstanding. I asked for his name (the cashier said he was very popular), and later figured out how to spell the singer's name. He's 84 on this list: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

From Wikipedia: "Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948 – 1997) was a Pakistani vocalist, musician, composer and music director, primarily a singer of qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music. He is considered by The New York Times to be the greatest Sufi singer in the Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi languages, and one of the greatest qawwali singers in history.... He was described as the fourth greatest singer of all time by LA Weekly in 2016."

Deserves to be ranked a little higher than Phil Collins, in my biased opinion.
