I would like to hear your opinion on the question whether there is an accepted distinction between both concepts in condensed matter physics. I would tend to use the word quasiparticle for dressed fermionic particles and the term collective excitation in the case of bosonic excitation. But considering for example magnons in ferromagnets makes it very arbitrary kind of definition since magnons can be viewed (if I am not wrong) both as quasiparticles and also as collective excitations.
