[Perform-Talk] musical influences--yet more

Sat Apr 30 03:21:42 UTC 2016

I would agree, though I cannot speak with complete expertise. While I like Genesis, Collins and Gabriel, I wouldn't say they are in my top 10 list.

Collins is definitely a great drummer though.

My dad and brother are musicians, my brother being a great drummer, so I hear a lot of talk about drummers, LOL!

Hi.

Phil was/is a very good drummer!

I like the Genesis and Phil solo stuff but the solo stuff Peter Gabriel put out is largely more "progressive" musically and he takes many more chances than Phil's radio friendly family friendly stuff. I mean there is certainly a place for that, and that's fine, however, when music historians look back, I think Gabriel's solo output would be judged to be more meaningful. (And I don't mean progressive in terms of odd time signatures, crazy solos, and tons of key changes but progressive in terms of sampling, incorporating elements and performers from world music, and covering some topics lyrically that can be dark and uncomfortable to some.)

Thoughts anybody?

In any case, both of them deserve all of their success.

Cameron.
