    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    If any of you on this board are into vinyl, Classic Records has 200g reissues of much of his catalog -- they sound absolutely stunning. I have the first four of his solo plus 'Lamb...' from these reissues. The guy is awesome. And to those who liked Up -- I agree -- caught the show in Detroit on that tour. But if I could only have one of his (or how about three) I would take 1) Security 2) Car/Rain 3) Us.

    Yes!!!!!! I think it's on B/O from the Classic Records site, but I buy a lot from this site in Chicago called Music Direct:

    There are a few really good eBay dealers for new vinyl, but I always go here first (plus they send out a sweet catalog every quarter).

    I think LLDoB is a top three all-time for me...

    Anybody heard any news about a new album from Peter?

    Yes, Dirt, The "Lamb" is one of the all-time greats IMHO too. "Selling England by The Pound" is also a great record despite the one Phil Collins tune on it.

    Other than that it is supposedly called I/O, nothing. There's always stuff about him working on it, but with him, you just don't know when things will actually be out. I remember hearing 'I Grieve' for the first time on the City of Angels soundtrack (which I think was his first new music in some time back then) and being real excited about the possibility of a new album soon. Well, it turned out to be 3-4 years later that that excitement was able to be acted on.

    I just remember seeing a blurb in Rolling Stone mentioning a new album from him this year.............Hey, I'm a long-time Kate Bush fan..........I know about waiting. :)

    I recommend his third solo album. It's the one with his face melting on the cover.
    I saw him on the SO tour - 11/12/86. It was an excellent show.

    I saw the (what I think was) the last date of the So tour in Los Angeles, Sports Arena I think. That was an excellent show, the theatrics and lighting were amazing.

    On another note, I just found out that there is a bootleg of outtakes from the Passion sessions available. I'll have to search that out.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    OMG, how did i ever miss this thread?! thank you tybird for bringing it to my attention, i have been remiss with the other music forum as of late...all sucked into given to fly/the porch with the euro tour. anyhooooo...

    peter fecking' gabriel is THE man! master lyricist and brilliant musician, continually to amaze me, pushes the envelope, challenges himself and his listeners....just pure feckin' amazement time and again.

    what album to get? ALL OF THEM! seriously, not a bad one in the bunch...in fact, quite the contrary...each and every one will knock your socks off.....including passion...the soundtrack to the film the last temptation of christ. i ADORE every album, he is just THAT good. if i was absolutely forced to choose a favorite, i'd have to say Us.....and least fave So...mostly b/c it seems his most 'commercial'...but seriously, they are ALL fantastic! his first album may be the more difficult/challenging for the casual listener to get into....but it's well worth it. his latest, Up....gorgeous.

    i seriously cannot praise this man's work enough. :D

    and...and....and.....the epitome of brilliance, imho of course.....early genesis with gabriel at the helm...the lamb lies down on broadway. if the rumored reunion were to happen, and i could hear the lamb live, with the original genesis.....*faints*

    ok, think i yammered on enough for the time being. :p
    Stay with me...

    Yes, yes..........a Genesis reunion tour with Peter on lead vocals would be devine..........maybe he would wear the costumes.........."The Lamb" live again.........maybe even "Supper's Ready"........or "Cinema Show"...and keep tape on Phil Collins' mouth and his ass at the drum kit.

    yes, as a matter of fact i am. :p
    IF/when genesis does a reunion tour, you should absolutely come up to NYC...b/c you know they'll play msg...and it would be very, very cool to meet you and daystar. :cool: hell, the 2 of you visit NY for any reason, would be cool to meet you both, but genesis/peter gabriel just make it that much cooler. :D

    I personally like Peter Gabriel a lot. I have "So," "Us," and "Up"

    "So" is good, but not my favorite.

    I think "Us" is a masterpiece. 'Love to be Loved' is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard, but the whole album is great. The only problem is that it is so heavy handed and depressing, I can't bring myself to listen to it very often.

    After waiting 10 years, "Up" didn't disappoint. 'Growing Up' is a classic. 'No Way Out' is good if you can manage not to kill yourself while listening. My only problem with this cd is the amatuer rhyme scheme in 'The Barry Williams Show,' which would have been good otherwise.
    I love my female wife...
    we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage
