[Album Stream] Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 3: Melt (1980)

After his prog rock days at Genesis and before his truly epic mainstream breakthrough (and wonderful album) So, Gabriel was weird and alternative AF.

His third self-titled album in a row, melty face one, now "3: Melt" introduced me to Kate Bush who also showed up on So.

3: Melt is wonderful, weird, and dark album. Gabriel always followed his own path.

Even though his years with Genesis were great, I've always preferred Gabriel's solo work. Melt is my favorite album of his but I'd put his 2002 album Up right next to this one.

Also, there's a great YouTube video by Trash Theory that came out recently on Gabriel and the years leading up to Games Without Frontiers as a single https://youtu.be/rNITD4QyS7c
- I'm a prog fan, grew up on Yes, ELP, Genesis, etc. but same. Gabriel's solo work was just so interesting and creative.
