bacardimayne Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Phil Collins is great. Never listened to much Peter Gabriel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've heard very limited output from both. Only song I've liked from either of their solo careers is "Solsbury Hill", and it's a fantastic song, so I'll go with Gabriel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Peter's best songs top Phil's best songs, but Peter writes alot of stuff that doesn't work for me, while Collins is more consistent. Testify is underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsicoca Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 peter gabrilehe's more creative than collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Peter Gabriel. He's a better song writer and he's more artistic. Peter Gabriel's album "Us" is brilliant. Same with "So." But Peter Gabriel's live versions are better than the actual recordings of the songs. His "Secret World" concert is one of the most creative concerts I've ever seen. He puts on such a great show. His bassist, Tony Levin, is so frickin sweet too. The whole band is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Bits and pieced from both, for me.I've seen both in concert, Gabriel was far better in a live environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Too tough! I have to go with Mr. Sledgehammer. That video was the first video in my memory when I began seeing MTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careful with that axe Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Prefer Gabriel. Peter Gabriel's masterpiece "The Passion of the Christ"His world music is good too.Phil Collins was genius in the beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 When I watched Classic Albums: Face Value, he was in a writing flurry that covered 2 solo albums and 2 Genesis albums. Ozzy drove everyone crazy playing Face Value when they were making Blizzard of Ozz, maybe because he had just gotten out of a divorce and fell in love with Sharon at the time. It's hard not to bring Abacab and Duke into discussing Phil's solo albums. Paperlate, Man on the Corner, and No Reply At All could've easily been on the first two solo albums. Phil said he almost put this on Face Value. One of my favorites. and my favorite Peter Gabriel song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
