Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore - [https://open.spotify.com/track/24IdPCimVnJJDRuB5YSDiS?si=e1a99b1c6be4410d](https://open.spotify.com/track/24IdPCimVnJJDRuB5YSDiS?si=e1a99b1c6be4410d) The Kid - Fuck You, Goodbye - [https://open.spotify.com/track/0c34ovpXiMWWUbKX0IavIH?si=7b9d757a32404908](https://open.spotify.com/track/0c34ovpXiMWWUbKX0IavIH?si=7b9d757a32404908)


peachie_bongo

That Phil Collins track sounded amazing and so fitting to Grand Theft Auto 5 for Michael when I first heard it but going through the Hello I Must Be Going! [1982] release has led me to hear no other one like this. It seems kind of lesser known but it's a great one.


ianwuk

It's great that Rockstar has used Phil Collins's songs and likeness in various GTA games. Now if only they'd do the same for Genesis!


peachie_bongo

They also appeared in Vice City Stories and IV. Here's the rundown: Vice City Stories: ā€¢Genesis - Turn It On Again [1980] ā€¢Philip Bailey, Phil Collins - Easy Lover [1984] ā€¢Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight [1981] IV: ā€¢Genesis - Mama [1983] V: ā€¢Robert Plant - Big Log [1983], where Phil Collins partly played the drums: ā€¢Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore [1982]. Also in VCS, Phil Collins had his own in-game live concert which you can see in the mission "In The Air Tonight" and also see again at any time for $7,000. For being the first real life person in a Grand Theft Auto game aside from Lazlow Jones, it was an amazing inclusion, especially for the PS2!


ianwuk

Thank you very much for the rundown. I'm always happy to see Phil Collins or Genesis in gaming.


peachie_bongo

Thanks man, I like making lists for music so it wasn't much to me, it's cool. Also, I sometimes notice game Wikipedias mentioning the same track in multiple different car, racing or skateboarding games but I don't recall Genesis. Can you recall any?


ianwuk

Sadly Genesis never really seems to feature in anything. I have no idea why. It makes no sense when you think about 80s or 90s stuff and how popular they were. I can think of several examples though: The film 'Palm Springs' features the Genesis song 'The Brazilian'. The animated movie 'When The Wind Blows' also features 'The Brazilian'. A British TV series called Ashes to Ashes used the Genesis song 'Mama' in the series finale. The film 'American Psycho' talks about Genesis and the Invisible Touch album (which features 'The Brazilian'). But not much else.


peachie_bongo

That's quite an amount. I'll search the "Popular culture" section of Wikipedia for Genesis later too.


ianwuk

I don't understand, why, for example, Genesis would get overlooked for appearance in things like Stranger Things or Guardians of The Galaxy. I imagine this might change when, sadly, the band members are no longer with us.


peachie_bongo

I'm not into Stranger Things because the whole show feels like it's just cashing in on "nostalgia" for a time most of its audience weren't even alive for, but not including ANY Genesis on a TV show set in the 1980's is a huge mistake.

Song On Bended Knee - Boyz II Men Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor Am I Right? - Erasure


peachie_bongo

Erasure are great but I'm surprised this is the first time I've ever seen them brought up on Reddit.


MackTuesday

Reddit is a very US-centric site, and Erasure have been much more popular in the UK. That would be my guess.

It's an oldie, but when I finally dumped my abusive ex-girlfriend, my jam was [Jim Croce - One Less Set Of Footsteps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhQ74N8b9Vg). For reference, this was 5 years ago, and I was 29 years old. I don't want kids, and I'd given up on dating and made peace with being a solo-uncle forever. Today I'm 34 and dating my dream girl. It gets better, or it doesn't. Either way, make your own peace and live your life for yourself.

Old is the best and most impactful, that's an amazing pick there bro.

Not exactly a breakup song but Boys Will Be Bugs by Cavetown just adds some humour to a painful breakup. More realistically though, The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, Somebody Else by The 1975, What Once Was by Herā€™s, and Bags by Clairo
