I'm going against seeding on this one. Phil Collins, even disregarding his work as drummer and lead vocals of Genesis, some of his work such as Against All Odds, Another Day in Paradise, his ability to perform on the drums (Laying down the drums for the Live Aid anthem Do They No in Christmas in one take) as well as his work on numerous film soundtracks are outstanding (A 19 week number one and an Oscar for his work on Tarzan) and he deserves to take this tie despite being the lower seed.

Polley, thank you for reminding me. The reason Phil Collins is the low seed here has to do with the fact that ONLY his solo work is taken into consideration. Phil's work with Genesis is not in question here - the band Genesis is in the 70's region I believe. This is the BAND English Beat vs the ARTIST Phil Collins.
