PG 3: Melt is a masterpiece of progressive music.
 
At first I had no interest in his solo career. Then everyone was talking about 3...so I bought it...and my god...awesome.
 
4 isn't that bad either, but nothing compared to three. The only other one I have is Up and its pretty good as well.
 
I am also going to invest in some live DVDs soon.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

I own the album with "Steam," that's pretty sweet...it's also like a who's who of art rock (in case you've never looked at the "who worked on this album" bit).

What more is there to say?
 
I agree with you, but his job doesn't stop only n doing music. His Record Label Real World supports a lot of world music. And he also offers one of the most spectacular live shows. He really rocks

Gabriel is the chameleon of progressive and/or progressive related music. You really can't tell what he's going to do next.

I've got everything from So to Up, but am starting to delve into the early stuff. Picked up PG 1 last summer. Need to work on getting the others.

In a nutshell, I think the man is pretty much a genius and very eclectic. A lot of variences with him. It's just too bad he's not participating with the Genesis reunion with Hackett. I think that would turn the music world upside down.

One of the greats, a modern John Lennon. For live stuff 'Secret World Live' is a terrific recording.

Excellent. UP and GROWING UP are my favorite. I love what Gabriel did with UP and it is definitely my favorite from him. I can't wait for I/O to come out.

Yeah! See thats what annoys me a little...some of it seems so commercial, but its still really great, you cant take the voice away from it!!
 
But really, some songs are just...awful.

How do we all feel about Peter Gabriels solo material?
 
I never thought it would happen, but i completely adore almost all of it.  I cannot stop listening to "Us", and i love everything before it pretty well too.
 
I cant wait to get all of his Live DVDs, they all look amazing!
 
I usually dispise the "sound of the 80's"...the drumming sounds, guitars and synths annoy the life out of me...but when Gabriel is singing, for some reason, it works and I love every songLOL
