My top 7 PG albums: 1. Up - Every track rewards on repeated listens, his most mature lyrics. Also the longest tracks of any of his solo albums. My 10 faves: Darkness (rocks), Growing Up (a real grower), Sky Blue (exquisite with choir), Don't Leave (great mood journey song), I Grieve (Levin bass), The Drop (short and stark), The Barry Williams Show (phenomenal parody, biting lyrics), My Head Sounds Like That (a marvelous mind journey song), More Than This (could have been a single), Signal To Noise (the tour de force on this amazing record) 2. II - Robert Fripp did a great job in production and songwriting contributions. Maybe his quirkiest album. My 7 faves: On The Air (great sonics), DIY (punk Gabriel), Mother Of Violence (great ballad), A Wonderful Day In A One Way World (quirk city), White Shadow (best song on the album, horns!), Indigo (nice downbeat song), Flotsam And Jetsam (a brilliant two minutes) 3. So - PG strikes multi-platinum! My 5 faves: Red Rain (his strongest opening track), Sledgehammer (legendary sexual metaphors), Don't Give Up (Kate Bush!), In Your Eyes (his commercial zenith), Big Time (fun!) 4. III - His most consistent album. Maintains the vibe all the way through. My 4 faves: Intruder (sinister), No Self Control (ominous), I Don't Remember (psychotic), Games Without Frontiers (multi-lingual fun) 5. IV - A tale of two sides. First side almost all high, second side drags after Monkey. My 4 faves: The Rhythm Of The Heat (drums!), San Jacinto (his most majestic song), I Have The Touch (catchy), Shock The Monkey (his pop breakthrough) 6. I - Could have been a Genesis album, but lacks the textures of his subsequent releases. My 3 faves: Solsbury Hill (great allegory), Humdrum (prog!), Here Comes The Flood (epic!) 7. Us - His dreariest album, and the highlights repeat past accomplishments. My 3 faves: Steam (Sledgehammer pt.2), Digging In The Dirt (by far the best song on the album), Kiss That Frog (Sledgehammer pt.3)

Hi Pete, in the UK in the 70's we had a TV program called 'It's A Knock Out'. Basically human crazy golf with competitors in costumes and stuff doing obstacle courses. I guy called Stuart Hall used to commentate and spent most of it laughing his nuts off. The teams that won the UK heats went to play in 'European Finals' with other countries and the program was called "jeux sans frontières". You can check both out, plenty of clips on this channel. Believe that's where it came from 'Games without frontiers war without tears'..

I'm surprised you skipped over Passion for your listing. Peter & Rosanna Arquette were living in Big Sur and would occasionally come into the record store where I worked in Carmel. I asked him if he would sign the Passion album for me and he obliged. He held it in both hands, staring at it for a prolonged period, then looked up and apologized. He said it was the first time he had seen the finished artwork! It was always a thrill when they came in. He asked me for many, many recommendations and Rosanna turned me on the Indigo Girls.

Hey Pete, thanks for this one. I have always been a huge Gabriel fan and really enjoyed seeing your ranking. One other little historical note; when the "Melt" album was presented to his US label at the time, Atlantic Records, they thought that he had lost his mind or on heavy drugs and dropped him from label. It was originally released on Mercury Records and on later Geffen, which became his next "home".

The line 'jeux sans frontières' (trans: games without frontiers) is a reference to a Europe-wide game show that used to air on TV. A bit like the Eurovision song contest, but with countries competing in silly games instead of performing songs. The UK-only version of the programme was called 'It's a knockout' and Pete makes a direct reference to that in the song's lyrics.

I might swap out the first album and "Security" on the list, but it's a close call, mainly due to "Solsbury Hill", a song I personally connect with on so many levels. But there are so many great cuts on "Security" that I'm inclined to bump this up a bit. Agree with the other rankings, and particularly with "Melt" as Number One. But one of my favorite Gabriel songs is "The Tower That Ate People" which I first heard on his "Hit/Miss" recording (which also had "Burn You Up. Burn You Down" - another great song).

A bit off topic but shout out for all of the great live Gabriel records: Back To Front Live In Vienna, Growing Up Live, Plays Live, Rare (Live), The Warm Up Tour - Summer 2007: 02.07.07 Brescia, Italy. It's really tough to say "I'm glad Gabriel left Genesis because the solo albums are so good". They are (mostly) but there's no telling where the band would've gone next, after all he left at age 25 & at his peak. Maybe Hackett would've stayed too or maybe not, or maybe Collins would've left to go solo & to become a lead singer (supposedly he never really seriously considered taking the mic full-time before Gabriel left - he had to be persuaded). Where the band had already taken the music by 1975 was amazing, especially considering their age. If that had continued then who knows what would've come next. I really like the Trick through Duke records too but it's just the "what if" of more Gabriel Genesis records, there was something really special about the early albums that they never really recaptured post-Gabriel

I'm mostly a hard rock/metal fan but I have to say Peter Gabriel put on one of the best shows I've ever seen...I saw him in 1993 promoting the US album and even though the songs from US had different arrangements live than on their studio counterparts they sounded really awesome. My only disappointment was with the audience...most of the crowd sat in subdued silence until Solsbury Hill was played and of course everyone screamed and jumped around and had fun and then it was silence again until Sledgehammer was played and of course more silence from the crowd until In Your Eyes was played during the encore...I really hate when audiences only get into the show during the really popular songs. Actually saw that happen at an AC/DC show one year.

Melt is definitely my #1. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is just incredible on it. I love most of Gabriel’s albums. Love your videos, Pete! This is my top 7: 1. Peter Gabriel III (Melt) 2. Peter Gabriel IV (Security) 3. Peter Gabriel 1 (The Car Album) 4. Us 5. So 6. Peter Gabriel II (Scratch) 7. Up

I love US so much. Ever since its release, has always been a top 10 album for me.

I go for broke here, so please do not hesitate to disagree, but I guess I Go Swimming from the Plays Live double album is Gabriel's most rocking song. I remember the first time I heard Games Without Frontiers on the radio (it was a single in The Netherlands) I had basically the same thoughts Pete had. So different from anything I used to listen to at the time, but clearly very interesting and great.

I'm not a Peter Gabriel fan but, I do have his SO album. I think Red Rain and Don't Give Up were featured on Miami Vice? I love Red Rain and In Your Eyes. Don't Give Up, Big Time and Sledgehammer were good too. I think this would qualify as Peter Gabriel's Thriller.
