Phil Collins vs Peter Gabriel

solo careers and Genesis eras

 

It's a valid matchup!

 

this classic should get the ball rolling...

 

Gabriel is great but he never did anything as iconic as this during his solo years:

 

I know that's his signature song but it's one of those songs where I can see why people like it but I have never liked it. I prefer his work with Genesis but out of his solo hits, I like "Take Me Home" & his remake of "Groovy Kind of Love." The rest are beneath his Genesis songs IMO.

 

In terms of musical talent it's THE POWER OF PHIL. If we are talking music actually produced I don't know as I'm not a big fan of either guy.

 

Phil Collins gets the nod from me over Peter Gabriel - mainly for the Genesis role, not their solo efforts

 

Weirdly a track that I hated when I first played the album (which I also didnt like...much), but given a few plays, it grows on you.

Studio double-albums, though.

 

Its like the Alien vs Predator tagline: whoever wins, we lose

 

Wrong Wrong WRONG!!!!

 

Phil Collins had a better solo career and doesn't even come close.

 

You can sum it up as follows:
Gabriel's work more intriguing artistically. Collins shifted lots of units making pretty pedestrian music at times.
All in all, considering everything my choice is Phil Collins.
At his peak he was everywhere: solo-hits/albums, singing/drumming with Genesis, drumming with Brand X, producing albums, touring all the time.
I think Gabriels artistic peaks were much higher, but after 'So' he lost a bit of commercial focus...

 

Fuckin Phil Collins???
What is this shit?



Fuckin walk, prick...

 

Both awful and both members of an awful band

Gabriel wins simply because Sledgehammer is a BANGER

 

I hate Sledgehammer, cool video though.

 

99 percent of time slice is nice guy but this one percent...

 

WRONG.

More accessible and listenable than the other ´Millenials Favorite´ 70s band: Pink Floyd
(the other two being Led Zeppelin and Queen )

 

Yes, of course ... “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” ... Limey Peter Gabriel’s utterly clueless depiction of a Nuyorican in a pointlessly elaborate, tuneless, long-winded rock opera ... can’t believe it wasn’t as big a pop hit as “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” or “Money”

 

Genesis never had a good song... not one

it’s either the unbearable prog garbage from the 70s or the embarrassing synth pop from the 80s

 

Terrible terrible music

 

Die!

 

Haha!


Yeah!

 

DIE!!!!!!

 

Well done, you just picked out their most inaccessible album ever, which, incidentally, is far more artistic and muscially challenging than anything Pink Floyd did.

 

Genesis: better musicians, no question.

 

Definitely

who cares?

King Crimson were better musicians than Genesis and even more unlistenable

 

Errrrrrr...No.

 

Your argument was Genesis was “more accessible and listenable” than Pink Floyd, Zeppelin and Queen

that’s preposterous
