| Take your pick of all his albums I don`t have to list them all. Because if I happenned to omit one I would be getting the regular: wheres this album wher`s that album. The question mark on my computer does not work.my favourite is Security and my fave song is The Family And The Fishing Net. Primus do an awesome cover version of this song, |

I agree, it's the one I return to most often if I'm in the mood for some solo PG stuff. In Your Eyes, though, is my favorite PG tune. |

I'm a strange Genesis fan, I love everything from the Gabriel era (including a couple of songs of FGTTR) but Peter's solo stuff doesn't moves me as old Genesis music. That doesn't mean I don't like his albums, I have everyone and love most of them (except OVO) and his concerts are out of this world experiences, but for me his years as Genesis frontman are the best of his long and good career. My favorite PG album is PG1. Iván |

Security is by far the most original of his works and the first one to show his interest for african traditional music. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

Strange phenomenum with Gabriel that his odd numbered albums were good, and the even numbered poor.

"Passion" (OST for "The Last Temptation of Christ") Hands down, my favorite Gabriel work of all time- and an incredible journey on its own even if you disliked or have never seen the film. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

| I can't vote because I don't consider Peter Gabriel's solo stuff progressive music. I'm the first and the huggest Genesis 70-75 fan, but I think that Peter solo discography is at many prog sites with no reason. Sorry. |

You forgot PASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and UP!!! but anyway, the rainy car is a marvellous record, actually the only one as tight as a rope, and the most underrated of them all. And why you hate SO and US, they are comercial but still a great concept albums, a "world side" of music hahahaha peace ------------- between darkness and light |

HI, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA. I think that PG's career is not full of dramatic ups and downs - on the contrary, he has kept a high level of integrity, cleverness and inventiveness all along his career. But if I have to choose one fave recording, that will be 'Security'. It is his absolute cornerstone: it's got the fire of his first 3 recordings, and the magic of all his ethnic-influenced stuff tha thas kept him overtly busy ever since. Something that was being insinuated in '3', became mature in 'Security'. I think that some of the electric fire of 'Security' has resurfaced in 'Up'. What about 'Passion'? One of the best OSTs ever... but again, I am a Gabriel freak, so I guess I might as well be too dogmatic here... (My three Peters: Gabriel, Hammill, and Nicholls). Regards.

Lucky Man Vibe ! I never had the pleasure to see Primus live Dirty Drowning Man
I'm a dog, a dirty flying dog. I drink Campari with marinated wild hog. I've no sense, I like electric fence. I put barbed wire in my pants and do a celtic dance. But when I can, I'm a giving man. I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the frying pan. |

| Peter Gabriel was probably the most 'progressive' musician in the late seventies and early eighties.He certainly didn't allow his music to stagnate in the 'comfort zone' of so many of his contemporaries. |

| I saw Gabriel live a few times in the eighties and he never failed to impress. |

HI, JAMES LEE, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA. I myself try to imitate my 3 Peters while exhibiting my singing style (in the shower, or when I'm alone at home). Believe it or not! I wish I could sing 'Guiding Light' the way Nicholls does, 'Still Life' the way Hammill does, and 'The Lamia' the way Gabriel does. But I'm getting out of the topic... I voted on 'Peter Gabriel IV' (Security) because of its relevance, that energetic mixture of weird wizardy at electronic inventiveness and ethnically inflicted sensibility makes it an essential work to understand the very nature of Gabriel's musical spirit. Regards. |

The label on my Dutch vinyl pressing says: 'Peter Gabriel 4'. The title isn't mentioned on the sleeve itself however (bit confusing, isn't it?).

It is the original, yes. I bought it only a few years ago in a used record store. I guess the pressing is from the mid eighties. ------------- |
