ok, you tell me. rules are that you are not allowed to include their work in either the beatles or genesis, only their solo output (talking about wings is totally permissable, though, i think).
anyway, on the basis of their careers as artists in their own right, i really reckon collins wins it.
1) honestly - in the air tonight versus temporary secretary? (gutterbreaks, i feel you every step of the way, blud!) - absolutely no competition for collins here.
2) in fact, half of face value, the album in the air tonight was on, is pretty decent and no jacket required is actually *good* (albeit in a 1980s, espadrilles-with-no-socks kinda way), but i can't even remember the name of a single mccartney album.
3) urban love - loads of rappers and r&b stars love the collins. this is because he knows his way around a tune. mccartney... well, let's just say that you won't be hearing the game making a version of mull of kintyre any time soon.
4) looking at their collaborative ventures really answers this for me, though. mccartney = ebony and ivory and the frog chorus. collins = easy lover. yup, phil's a clear winner.
