PG has enormous artistic creativity and integrity . One of few artists not victimised by the 80s

I love the first four PG albums (and Plays Live) but So isn't as interesting. Red Rain is a superb song, and I really like Sledgehammer, but I can't stand Don't Give Up. I can't remember any of the other songs, that shows how much of an impression they made. After So there hasn't been anything to get me interested again.

I have only listened to Peter Gabriel's three first albums. I really
like them. I have the fourth aswell, and will check it out soon.

Time for some blasphemy now...  I readily admit to preferring PG's solo output to what he did with Genesis (with the exception of SEbtP, one of my all-time favourite albums). I saw him live in 1983, and he was awesome - he'd just released his fourth solo album, my favourite, which contains some of his best tracks, such as "San Jacinto" and "The Family and the Fishing Net".

Peter is simply great, he was great with Genesis and later on, solo, though I think of his first two solo-albums as "not mature" ( I love the fourth, So, Us/Secret World Live and, especially, UP, which sums it up together ). A brilliant artist.

You want to know how I really feel?
Peter Gabriel peaked with Genesis on The Lamb. Everything else he did solo is OK but cannot compare with his time in Genesis.

Peter Gabriel is Great!
Then: Each genesis album he was with just kept getting better and better until he finaly peeked on The Lamb, my fav. Gabriel Era album. Absoulutley amazing lyrics and vocals on his part.
Now: Up is an effin brilliant album! I never really cared for much else of his work, Except for PG 1/3.
"Signal to Noise"=Perhaps the most Brilliant song ever!

great artist Peter Gabriel is an awesome brand name now, so, very,very long time ago, he left Genesis 'cause it was nothing more than his personal band.
i like old Genesis so much, of corse!,my fav is Trespass album.

Unfortunatley I have to agree with this assessment. I love Peter Gabriel but with a handful of exceptions I don't think he was ever as good as a solo artist as he was with Genesis.
Just my two cents.

I cannot agree, honestly, Gabriel's fourth album is very strong, as was, in a rather commercial way, SO, and UP is really a masterpiece I see up there with the old Genesis...

A true artist....Gabriel just keeps getting better! His latest record is as dense and deep as anything he's ever recorded.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
