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.

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.)

One of my favorite songs EVER - and made even more glorious by the presence of Kate Bush
 The bolded part moved me to tears the first time I heard it and can get me there to this day. Peter G. is a brilliant artist.in this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail no fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose don't give up 'cos you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet don't give up I know you can make it good though I saw it all around never thought I could be affected thought that we'd be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn drove the night toward my home the place that I was born, on the lakeside as daylight broke, I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground don't give up you still have us don't give up we don't need much of anything don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong rest your head you worry too much it's going to be alright when times get rough you can fall back on us don't give up please don't give up 'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing that river's flowing moved on to another town tried hard to settle down for every job, so many men so many men no-one needs don't give up 'cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us don't give up now we're proud of who you are don't give up you know it's never been easy don't give up 'cause I believe there's the a place there's a place where we belong

This was actually easy for me: Peter gabriel. I haven't voted on the last few, because I just couldn't decide. Phil Collins is a great drummer, and he did a good job of imitating Peter Gabriel's voice on the first couple of records after Gabriel left Genesis. Peter gabriel, though is a different kind of artist, I saw him on his Shick the Monkey tour, and it was sort of a religious experience. I haven't been paying attention to anything of his since the passion soundtrack, but I think everything before it has been amazing.

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