I've declared my opinions to be scientific fact before. Still valid.

Movies, TV series, music, electric guitars, gipsy jazz guitars, black-market stimulants, prescription stimulants, cameras, camera lenses, whiskey, red wine, bitcoins and ping pong paddles. I am the definitive authority on those.

I wouldn't cover these topics otherwise. How arrogant would that be.

Your opinions are fact as long as I agree with them.

Anyone who thinks Peter Gabriel can be encompassed as an 80's thing needs to have his head sat on by William "The Refrigerator" Perry.

"His 1986 album, So, is his most commercially successful, and the album's biggest hit, "Sledgehammer", won a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and the song is the most played music video in the history of the station.[2]
More recently, Gabriel has focused on producing and promoting world music and pioneering digital distribution methods for music. He has also been involved in various humanitarian efforts. Gabriel has won numerous music awards throughout his career, including three Brit Awards—winning Best British Male in 1987"

Sounds like a strong decade Muddy but I do agree the pre "So" stuff was far better!
 
I like the 80's stuff very much but there was like 20 years of great stuff before that. Well maybe not 20. Ehh, prolly not 20. I don't know exactly.

For me, a Gabriel discussion must start with Supper's Ready - is my basic thinking.

Also, as I believe we established and confirmed earlier in this thread, the piano intro to The Firth of Fifth is the one and only thing in the history of movies/TV/music that doesn't just round off to 10, but is in fact a perfect 10.

Now that of course is not Gabriel playing the piano however he is a principle composer of the song and theme that establishes that flawless intro - and goes on to a song with an overall rating of 9.934
