Yes, the first four solo albums by Peter Gabriel were titled simply, Peter Gabriel. It seems he chose to see each album as an exhibit and an extension of an artist's work, and as such they didn't need titles. But they did have great artwork, which made them instantly identifiable. For years I avoided Peter Gabriel's work simply because I associated it with a period of music I just didn't care for. Yes, it was silly, and unfair to generalize in that way. Then one day I caught the tail end of Solsbury Hill coming out of some TV or Radio or something, and wanted to hear more of it, and because we live in the age of instant gratification I pulled it up online. There in that 4 minute song I found an artist as inventive as he was sentimental and meaningful, and fell in love with the work of Peter Gabriel. This guy is an incredible songwriter, and seemingly very open to musical adventure with his arrangements and concepts.
