Summary

Ever since Peter Gabriel fronted progressive rock band Genesis, journalists and academics alike have noted the importance of Gabriel's contribution to popular music. Gabriel secured his place in the annals of popular music history through his groundbreaking performances, the establishment of WOMAD and the Real World record label and for his political agenda. This collection documents and critically explores the most central themes found in Gabriel's work.
