Peter Gabriel is an internationally famous musician and Third World activist, and was the original lead singer with Genesis. He is not only known for his Eastern and African-influenced music, but also for several ground-breaking music videos (most notably Sledgehammer, his highest-charting release on both sides of the Atlantic).
After leaving Genesis, Peter Gabriel began to experiment with various elements of world music as the underpinning for his dense, poetic lyrics. Although he released a series of successful song-oriented albums, Peter Gabriel 1, 2, 3, and 4 (aka Car, Scratch, Melt, and Security), he didn’t really hit a commercial high until 1986 with his now seminal album So and its slightly less successful counterpart Us. The last studio album from Gabriel was 2002’s Up. He has also composed and recorded soundtracks for films as diverse as Birdy (which contained re-purposed snippets of his studio albums to date), The Last Temptation of Christ, and Rabbit Proof Fence. He also sang the Randy Newman composed title song to Babe: Pig in the City called That’ll Do. He recently contributed to the wall-e soundtrack, singing the end title song Down to Earth, and composing two other tracks.
He created one of the more innovative videos of its time for the song
Sledgehammer, with the then-fledgling Aardman Animations studio.

Have to say, I love this guy's music. My mother introduced me to his music. Ever since then I loved it. Favorite song would have to be Father, son... despite my father died when I was 4.

Oh and Don't Give Up. PG and Kate Bush do such a great duet on that song. I've probably forgotten a couple but start off with those xP

I'd recommend Here Comes The Flood (get the 1990 version from Shaking the Tree because it's just his voice and a piano) truly beautiful. Also try In your eyes and Mercy street from the album So. Hmm I Grieve is also a good one to try. I hope that was helpful xP.
