I'd be all too happy to move him into Art Rock. As a matter of fact, I love a good deal of his solo output, which I have to admit I prefer to what he did with Genesis - and I definitely agree with The T that "Up" is quite proggy. I'll consult Micky and Rico on the matter, and if they agree we can definitely move him to our department.

Edit: if Radiohead are in Art Rock, I don't see why PG should be in PR. I don't really see Radiohead as proggier that PG.

But just as a curiosity...Isn't his World Music a form of Prog Folk?

 

Anyway, he's too iconic to be in Prog Related but that's not my call.

I agree with the boss. (big surprise, huh )

That's my point, I think he has enough "progginess", and as you mention, credentials, to be in a "proggier" category. As not one fits completely, I say Art Rock would be the ideal genre. But that's even less a call of mine. In fact, WHAT can I call? CryCryCryCryCryCryCryCry

Prog related seems like a comfy category for him.

 
Phish, on the other hand, need to me moved into Art Rock or possibly jazz fusion. They're too proggy for prog related.

I find Gabriel's solo work to be eclectic to be sure but not a lot of prog in it.  I do like most of it though.Smile

I have to go for the wise guy answer so: Satanic-ultra-bloody-antrometal. Also, I'm not sure if either prog-related or art rock really fits what he's doing these day.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Prog related.  It's way too pop to go in the Art Rock catagory.

Everything is Art-rock except for bloody metal.
 
Gabriel is actually one of the very few in this category which is exactly related to prog - and very much so indeed. If someone asks me what Prog-related means, my immediate reply would be: "It's Peter Gabriel's solo".

Art Rock is the only way to describe his music for it is so varying and unique (not to mention brilliant).

    After hearing UP and SO, I wanted to ask this: do you agree with PG being in the prog-related category? I found UP much proggier that other releases, and even his most poppy, SO, is not regular pop/rock but I can hear lot of, if not progressive, at least more artistic elements than in regular rock. And that's talking about his MOST POP release, because for me, UP is completely prog, Art Rock would be for me the ideal genre for him.
