BIKO.
The greatest political prog song ever. I feel like going out and making racists pay everytime I hear that song.And sometimes I do...
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Inspirational and genuine.What a guy!

Yes that is the song ... and the verse that does it for me ... my blood boils when I hear it
 
rounding up the Top 5 ... Solsbury Hill, Red Rain, Games Without Frontiers and Sledgehammer

without genesis: Sledgehammer
that song is pretty cool, I like the background music, the intro is unmistakable everyone knows which song it is in 5 seconds. Plus the music video is really cool.
another favorite of mine is the Musical Box, "play me that song" oh I will play it.

Gabriel's later solo material has passed me by, somewhat, but for sheer power, emotion and atmosphere, I'd go for 'San Jacinto' or 'Rhythym Of The Heat'.

Should be any long song (probably the longest!) with the exception of those in Passion (not bad, but in a different vein)
I have to check on my PG knowledge, though. It's been a quite long time...
I can say my fave album is Up, with Us coming close behind... I haven't listened to OVO though...

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

I just love Peter Gabriel's solo work
I just can't decide which of his songs would be the best. Anyway, my favourites are:
- Games Without Frontiers
- Solsbury Hill
- Biko
- Here Comes The Flood
- Signal To Noise
- I Can't Remember
- Digging In The Dirt
- Come Talk To Me
- Don't Give Up

Signal To Noise because of :
_Mesmerising Percussion
_The vocal soloing.
_The Melodies
_The symphonic finale

It is, and it comes from the album Tower of Song, which includes Cohen
covers by artists such as Sting, Tori Amos, Don Henley and Suzanne
Vega. A mediocre album, but a great version by PG.
