Prog Album of the Week - Week 65 (12/20/2014): Peter Gabriel - III (Melt)

As always, we encourage participation from everyone - if you've never heard the album, there's a YouTube link provided! Go check it out and report back!

Welcome to the sixty-fifth week of r/progrockmusic's Album of the Week! Last week we discussed iamthemorning's Belighted and that was lovely.

If you'd like to peruse previous weeks' discussions, please visit the archive.

Peter Gabriel has long since left Genesis and he's on his way to Pop-stardom. Well, not really - he isn't Phil - but this Art-Pop-World-Prog is certainly interesting.

####Potential Discussion Questions:

• Our first of Gabriel's solo career! This one isn't strictly Prog, but good ol' Peter is too nice of a guy to neglect, right? And, man, this album kicks ass too.

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
