Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel is a rock musician best known for being the former lead singer of progressive rock band Genesis. When he left Genesis, he was replaced by drummer Phil Collins as vocalist. Fans are divided on whether this was a good thing, as some believe Collins turned what was an art band into a sellout pop band (although the band had already begun to go pop before the change of frontman). Gabriel's solo career was a phenomenal success, with numerous hit singles and bestselling albums. He was inducted into the actual Hall of Fame only a few years after Genesis, which surprised many. Collins, however, has yet to be inducted. Unlike Collins, whose solo work was mainly pop, Gabriel retained the progressive style of Genesis. Weird Al Yankovic parodied Gabriel with his song Waffle King.
