Scene gets good around 8:50
This scene in Mr. Robot with Phil's "Take Me Home" playing in the background is just :blessed:

The correlation between the song and the main character Elliot's life....

Phil Collins' "Take Me Home" is not about returning home, but rather a darker song about a patient in a mental institution, inspired by the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Elliot has a mental illness and at one point is living locked up in prison.

Phil Collins sang one of the best songs ever, of that era of anyone playing anything ever, in that era, ever.
Even if I never heard anything other than this song from Phil, Solo or Genesis wise, this song, in my opinion trumps anything Sting has made or been apart of, if not just from my own personal bias of how much I love this song and the experiences I had while letting it play on a loop, sometimes for hours.

Phil Collins, easy.

He lifted other artists during his prime... all the same while he was making hits. He wrote for artists, produced their records, played drums on their albums or live; Phillip Bailey, Frida from ABBA and helping Eric Clapton's comeback in the 80's. Sting stayed focused on his own stuff, and his music was more philosophical while Phil was carving out an Era for Genesis and Himself as a Solo Artist.
