My Take
What I admire most about Peter Gabriel is his refusal to coast. He walked away from Genesis at the height of its powers, then proved with Solsbury Hill that the gamble was conviction, not ego. Few artists treat the music video as seriously as the song itself, and his Grammy-winning visual work changed what pop could look like. Add the human rights advocacy, from the North-South Prize to the Ambassador of Conscience Award, and you get a rare figure whose art and ethics reinforce each other. For me, Gabriel is the template for aging gracefully in rock: stay curious, stay principled, keep experimenting.
