kamrahai Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I prefer the Gabriel years myself but never saw them then. Caught the Duke & Abacab tours though which were great shows. After the Genesis (Mama) release I kinda lost interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 IMO some of the Peter Gabriel albums have a lot of filler. It's like listening to musak. Albums like Nursery Cryme and Wind and Wuthering are a bit boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that is just my opinion :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albums like Nursery Cryme and Wind and Wuthering are a bit boring. It's prog that maybe doesn't have the heavier, harder edge, that I know you like. (And I do too, but I'm just saying- I love the Gabriel era). Foxtrot and Selling England are my favourites.

I don't mind the softer edge stuff (though yes I do prefer the harder stuff) but I just think so much of it is meandering without any real direction.

Bigbobby10 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Lamb has a lot of filler/meandering bits but its still a great album thats what i think also, but when you get songs like In the Cage or carpet crawlers, it is just amazing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I prefer the Phil stuff, but I like most of it. Except for Calling All Stations, that album is terrible. Songs like "If That's What You Need" are just not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songs like "If That's What You Need" are just not for me. Put it this way I like CAS more than I like WCD. By far. If you resequenced WCD and got rid of some fluff It wouldnt be so bad. The strongest moments on CAS are not as good as the strongest in Dance but Dance was waaaay more filler. At least 2 sides of pure filler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My top 20 at the moment. I started to rank them, but that was an exercise in futility. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat. It'll be obvious I prefer the Hackett years to post-Hackett, and that The Lamb is my least favorite of those early records (not counting From Genesis to Revelation...).

New_World_Man Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Big fan of all their eras but especially the prog years. I think Calling All Stations is probably their most under rated and most under appreciated. And there were three is another one though. Top ten songs? I'll do twenty instead(no order).
