Brad_M Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I don't know much either, PC, but here's what I do know. > He was born in London, England in 1950. > He was the lead singer in Genesis from 1966-1975. > He left Genesis in 1975. (Genesis first hit the U.S. Top 40 charts in 1978 with no Peter Gabriel). > Peter first hit the U.S. Top 40 chart in 1982. > His biggest U.S. hits were the following songs: 1982 Shock The Monkey #29 1986 Sledgehammer #1 1986 In Your Eyes #26 1987 Big Time #8 1993 Steam #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I know he was/is very much into showmanship insofar as wearing costumes and utilizing eccentric behavior onstage to emphasize songs and their themes. His voice is somewhat similar in range and timbre to Phil Collins. Phil was the perfect replacement as lead singer for Genesis when Peter left.

edna Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 He´s some info from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gabriel I don´t like PG but I hear from people he´s doing an interesting job with the world music (though I´m more interested in other kind of music). I also heard he has some sort of schizophrenia... I saw Genesis in 1975 with "The lamb lies on Broadway". It was... strange... not my cup of tea, really.

Batman Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I think you should listen to him when he was with Genesis. I think these are the albums he did with Genesis: Trespass Nursery Cryme Selling England by The Pound Foxtrot The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I'm only really familiar with his solo stuff - the video for Sledgehammer blew me away when I was little! Steam, Kiss that frog, Shakin' the tree and Shock the Monkey are the only songs I really know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
