Progressive rock has few voices as instantly recognizable as Peter Gabriel's. His technically imperfect yet passionate delivery has been the driving force behind countless rock and pop anthems, influencing musicians, singers, and songwriters the world over for half a century. In the early Genesis era of his career there was a heavy dose of theatricality and English humor to his vocal style, something that carried over into the stage shows of his solo career even as his voice shifted towards a more husky and reserved character. Despite this, he has maintained the ability to reinterpret and recreate his earlier work to a high standard with remarkable consistency.
Shout Outs: I'd like to extend tremendous gratitude to Baronessa and IhateMana for their invaluable notewatching contributions to this thread.
