10 Rock Musicians Who Should Become Two-Time Hall Of Famers
4. Phil Collins
He might be cheesier than a Babybel factory and his audience might consist almost entirely of middle-aged men in shorts, but you can't deny that Phil Collins is a legend.
The man who gave gorillas everywhere hopes of one day becoming a drummer had more US top 40 singles than anybody in the 1980s, which is an utterly insane stat when you consider who else was around at that time.
To list off Collins' famous tracks would take several days; if you think you've never heard one, then you either don't know you have or you're lying.
Along with Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, and Steve Hackett, Big Phil joined the Hall in 2010 as part of Genesis. That makes sense, considering how important they were to the early success of prog and their later mainstream success, but come on, there's no way you can let Genesis in without acknowledging Phil's solo work!
If you think that his music is too poppy to count, then it's worth remembering that both ABBA and Madonna are in the Hall. Even Phil's sappiest songs don't come close to Dancing Queen.
