[Mari]

Ew for both of them. Yeah, Gaius, go ahead, slaughter me
(But I did vote for Gabriel!)

[danax6]

Well, if I have to choose, I will go with Peter Gabriel, but both don't really do it for me...

[jannieC]

I don't care for either one of them but I really can't stand Phil Collins.

[amber]

"track-track-trackio...ohOH!!"


*okay, I like the tomcruisemoviesong, and land of confusion was goodish...but still...c'mon....*

[face of glass]

Figures. IMO, Peter should've been against Kate Bush instead.

During his solo career Collins has never done anything as dark as "Intruder", anything as genuinely tear-inducing as "Family Snapshot", anything as beautifully grandiose as "Here Comes The Flood", anything as uplifting as "Come Talk To Me" or anything as playful as "Steam". Phil should've just stuck to drumming.

Sharon, we need a prog rock face-off! Yes vs. King Crimson vs. ELP vs. Jethro Tull vs. Genesis.

[SortaSavageLike]

Peter Gabriel isn't played in an endless loop on our local bland adult-contemporary station. Therefore, I voted for him.

(Oh, and 80% of Peter Gabriel's solo discography doesn't consist entirely of soppy ballads or covers of soppy ballads.)

to the prog off and I'm game!!!

[DavidMn]

I voted for Peter Gabriel. I find Phil Collins to be quite bland.

[shackin'up]

impossible that I'd choose for Collins here. Gabriel's a genius, and he has always been.

[shackin'up]

For prog rock I want Focus or Brainbox in there too.

[michelle2677]

hhmmmm.....decisions, decisions.

O.k...so I KNOW more of Phil Collins' material. And I DO like most of it.

But the few songs of Peter's I know...I like more. SO I guess I'm going for quality here instead of quantity and I'll pick Peter G.

[Red]

I can't believe I didn't see this...!
And was anybody who chose Phil being serious?
