Throwback Thursday – Phil Collins March Madness

Originally aired: March 31, 2022


It’s the final installment of our Return to the ’80s March
Madness series! For our 5th Annual Tournament, we focused on the
solo hits of the legendary Phil Collins—no
Genesis tracks here, just 16 powerhouse songs going head-to-head
in a Sweet Sixteen-style bracket.


And yes, a couple of early-’90s singles made it into the
mix—Something Happened on the Way to Heaven and I Wish It Would
Rain Down—but since they’re from his 1989 album ...But Seriously,
they earned their place.


Matchups include classics like:




In the Air Tonight vs. One More Night




Sussudio vs. Don’t Lose My Number




Against All Odds vs. I Don’t Care Anymore
…and more!




This episode also features a fun collaboration with Gill
from RealWeegieMidget Reviews, who reviewed Phil’s film
Buster, which gave us two songs featured in the tournament. Check
out her review here:
