I love both Peter Gabriel and David Bowie, but I've gotta vote Bowie.

(This may belong in prog-related, not really sure)
 
I was just thinking today that the solo careers of David Bowie and Peter Gabriel have an oddly similar sound, especially in the early 80s (For example, Scary Monsters, IMO, could have been a Peter Gabriel album, and So would have made a nice Bowie record). These are two innovaive stage performers who often created characters out of their music and made each concert a grand spectacle. While their two starting points are quite different, both of these unique artists put out a large collection of excellent and diverse music, all the while pushing the boundaries and acheiving massive popularity.
 
My question is simple. Whose solo (as in NOT Genesis) output do you prefer, and why?
 
Myself? As much as I love PG, I'm gonna give this one to the Thin White Duke, who I feel is a vastly underrated musical figure.
