In the 1980s, Considine wrote for Musician. It was here that Considine coined the term "cowboy pop" in his review of Rubber Rodeo's 1984 album Scenic Views.[8] In a 1990 review published in Rolling Stone, J. D. Considine famously criticized Phil Collins' album ...But Seriously, arguing that "Collins was a lot more fun — and effective — when he was frivolous."[9] Seven months after the publication of the review, Phil Collins addressed Considine's claim directly in an interview published in Musician Magazine.[10][11]
