Peter Gabriel [1] (1977)

Peter Gabriel, fresh from leaving Genesis, gives us a really really good album. Perhaps there's a little bit too much jazz and otherwise failed experimentation, but mostly this is top-notch, baby!

Average Song Score: 8.3
Album Tilt: 8.5

Security (1982)

With a foot still in Peter Gabriel [3]dom, Gabriel stops it with being utterly splendid and starts down his pop rock path. He's still coo', tho'.

Plays Live (1983)

How is a Peter Gabriel live album supposed to sound? ... Not as good as the studio versions obviously, but you might find this more enjoyable than you think...

Overall Live Album Score: 2+
