I've always had a soft spot for Phil Collins. He's a great vocalist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think Phil Collins is one of the most underrated musicians, singers, performers - he is absolutely amazing, I think, and I think he's probably got a bit of a rough ride occasionally because he became so mainstream and so popular.
The way we got Phil Collins for 'Tarzan' was that we heard around the studio that he was looking for a Disney project, and we got him. It seemed like a perfect match. Phil is a great musician.
We've been around long enough and have been to enough award shows to know that it is easy to lose to Phil Collins at any time.
I've always been a big fan of Phillip Lim. He'll always be a favorite of mine.
The Phil Spector that I would meet has always been a nice, quiet, little guy who's very serious about his work; obviously you can tell that because each and everything he's ever done has always been charted.
I listen to Mark Chestnutt and think he's a great singer - and he really does good material.
Robert Plant is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, never mind rock star. He's so down to earth.
The records that I grew up listening to had feel, and the drummers that inspired me - like Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart, Phil Collins and Roger Taylor - all had their own voice and individual style.
Shout out to Daryl Hall. He is the best. One of my true musical heroes. He comes from the Philly area so when it comes to true soul, the guy obviously is the expert.
Everyone's different, but it was fun for me to work with Garth Hudson. He's from 'The Band.' They are a massive influence, that was a big thrill. He's completely out of his mind.
