Legends of Rock: Eric Clapton and Phil Collins

Eric Clapton is a legendary guitarist known for his solo career and time with bands like the Yardbirds, Blind Faith, and Cream. He is considered one of the greatest guitarists in the British blues scene, with a career that began in the 1960s. Phil Collins, on the other hand, started as a child actor in the 1960s and later became the drummer of Genesis in the early 1970s. He eventually took on the role of lead singer and co-songwriter for the band. Collins' solo career took off in 1980 with the release of his album "Face Value," featuring the iconic song "In the Air Tonight." Despite initial skepticism from his bandmates in Genesis, the song became a massive hit and showcased Collins' innovative drumming style.
