Singer Simon Collins is the son of Phil Collins, and to listen to him you honestly feel like you've either entered some kind of time warp or have stumbled across a treasure trove of long-lost Genesis B-sides. In other words, he sounds just like his father.
For the most part Collins's music is nothing exceptional, which isn't to say it's bad -- just a little bland. But as a supposed salute to his dad, he did recently record his own version of a classic Genesis song. It's not one of the major hits, but it's always been one of my personal favorites -- a song I really loved when I was growing up -- and so I think it's worth putting up here and soliciting reaction from you nice people.
Here's Simon Collins doing Keep It Dark, originally from the 1981 Abacab album.
