Rob Fleming is a London record store owner in his mid-thirties whose girlfriend, Laura, has just left him.

Rob's Top Five Elvis Costello Songs (p. 98)
  1. "Alison"
  2. "Little Triggers"
  3. "Man Out Of Time"
  4. "King Horse"
  5. "Everyday I Write The Book"

Patrick Bateman: Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your #######. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

1. Hurricane - Bob Dylan
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For something that he never done


2. A Good Idea - Sugar
I saw them from the ocean
She didn't seem to mind
Didn't fight at all


3. Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

4. Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
I hate people when they're not polite

5. Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path

The Genesis album A Trick of the Tail is still one of my all time favourites.
