- Solsbury Hill (1977) As breezy and sun-kissed as the spiritual stroll that inspired it, Gabriel’s post-Genesis debut ploughs an atypical autobiographical furrow, musing on the break with the past and what the future might bring.
- Red Rain (1986) An incredibly assured anthem, Gabriel adds an AIDS metaphor to his clutch of 80s fears and worries.
