Take out sappy and add another suitably awful adjective, and that's how I feel about Van Halen*

Phil Collins alone has at least 5 singles that eclipse Graceland by a mile

Sussudio?
Two Hearts?
Think Twice?

those are off the top of my head. the list goes on with insipid lyrics, the same chord progressions. Watch any of those and try not to barf. At least Simon was trying something different even if it was based on cheesy cultural appropriation.

...and frankly I don't care anymore.

Man, all the awesome Phil Collinsness you two are living without. I just feel sorry for you two. I mean the happiness Phil just brought to us all in the 80s and 90s...do you remember?

Something terrible must of happened on the way to heaven to you two...

Just know, you'll be in my heart.
