I prefer Peter Gabriel by far, although the first few post-Gabriel Genesis albums were rather good. ("A Trick of the Tail" comes to mind.)
Phil Collins was a spectacular drummer and he is a good singer, don't get me wrong, but I find his voice way too poppish-sounding for my taste.
Peter Gabriel pretty much was the heart and soul of Genesis, and no matter how oddly flamboyant he may have been in his lyrics and costumed/makeup'd stage theatrics, he truly was (and still is) unique, one of a kind, and every bit as much your "prog-rock singer archetype" as Jon Anderson of Yes, and Greg Lake of ELP.
That guy from the "Calling all Stations" flop was OK, but really didn't register with me, one way or another.
Anyway, your opinions please . . .
