Phil Collins vs. Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel leaving Genesis was the best thing that ever happened to Peter Gabriel and Genesis.

Peter Gabriel was the more talented. Phil Collins was more fun to listen to.
 
Patrick Bateman: Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
 
As others have said, Phil Collins is more easily accessible, but Gabriel is without a doubt the more talented of the two.

I'm forced to assume you've never listened to Peter Gabriel's first two or three solo albums.

it is soooo hard to choose between the two.

gabriel had the 'weirdness' edge that true die hard fans... like myself... started listening to them back in the early days. Collins is a lot different and WAS a musical genius when he acted as himself and before he got all commericialized.

Duke, Abacab, were AWESOME and genesis started going downhill from there. Once they got to the I CANT DANCE phase, they were unbearble. Likewise... Collins first two solo albums were pure genius... downhill from there.

As for Gabriel... he was soooo flipping weird with Genesis, but absoutely FANTASTIC in his solo career and his stuff is so different, it is almost hard to tell they are the same person.
