Talk:Peter Gabriel discography

Walk Through the Fire

I thought it was "Walk Through the Fire" - not "Walking Through The Fire" -- Beardo 02:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Singles section

I'm convinced there is an error in the singles section. "In your eyes" must have been released in 1986. And I'm almost certain it was released before "Big time".

CD-ROM

I noticed that there is no mention at all about the "EVE" CD [1] Any reason for that? Diego bf109 (talk) 12:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Singles

When will there be a page for each single? Those sort of pages are actually quite helpful! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.171.140 (talk) 21:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are some singles missing as well: the German language version of "Games Without Frontiers" and "Wallflower"/"Kiss Of Life" (I'm not positive which was the A Side). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.168.239 (talk) 20:47, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Out Out" is missing too... that was technically released as a single... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.168.239 (talk) 20:58, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also missing: 1990 re-issue of "Shock The Monkey", "Secret World" (single, not the EP), and "Digging In The Dirt (Raw Stylus mix)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.168.239 (talk) 21:25, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing: "Sledgehammer (Live)", and "Steam (Live)". From Secret World... "While The Earth Sleeps"?, "Father Son", "When You're Falling", "Cloudless", "More Than This"?, "Darkness" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.168.239 (talk) 21:38, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Live Albums

Is it worth mentioning that he released a double CD for each performance of his 2004 tour. Mine is titled 05.05.04 Dortmund and is the concert I went to. Strangely enough, I had to order it from an American website! Obviously, this is not an official record comapny release and, with the relatively small numbers ordered per performance, did not chart at all. TinyMark 17:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Singles discography chart peaks

I have heavily edited and expanded the singles discography to include Gabriel's notable achievements on the U.S. Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, which debuted in Billboard magazine in early 1981. In doing so, I corrected many vastly conflated chart peaks and referenced the sources of my statistics. I also added a couple singles. The free portion of billboard.com is certainly incomplete, and possibly occasionally incorrect, so any additional or conflicting information other editors can provide would be helpful, but only if that information can be cited and double checked by other editors. Any changes to peaks presented in the current chart that are not cited at the head of that chart and/or discussed here on the talk page are likely to be assumed by myself and other editors to be vandalism, and such uncited changes may be changed back to reflect the cited statistics as they currently stand. Gabriel's significant talent stands independent of the public's failure to make each of my or anyone else's favorite tracks of his a massive international hit. Abrazame (talk) 02:38, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done with the edits, Abrazame, and the addition of the other relevant Billboard chart to the table. I recently found the same inflated chart stats and tried to restore them to the correct ones, but one (or two) people keep making them wrong again. Hopefully this will stay the way it is for now. Zephyrnthesky (talk) 02:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, good work. Had the same thing over at Shock the Monkey - just a track of which I happen to be inordinately fond - as Abrazame well knows...! I too would like to believe that Gabriel had achieved greater chart success than Bilboard.com shows, but unfortunealy we must go with what can be verified. Those couple of editors who continually seek to inflate the figures hang grimly to their claims but when pressed for sources, they simply melt away. People like us will just have to monitor closely and continue to insist on citations from reliable sources for any alterations. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that "Shakin' the Tree" may have slipped by unnoticed. I have the Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits (the actual book, not online) that was printed in 1996, so if that song actually peaked at #40 on the Hot 100 chart in 1989, it should be listed in the book. But it's not. I don't subscribe to billboard.com so I can't prove if it hit the Hot 100 at all, but a previous incarnation of this page had a dash next to it under the Hot 100 column. Can anybody prove this true or false? Thanks. Zephyrnthesky (talk) 18:56, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you both for your claps on the back, and for your own diligent and informed editing work—all of which makes Wiki a better place to visit, and in which to participate! Ian, in trying to improve my play on your choice of the word "inordinate", I almost drowned in Cartesian mathematics, so I'm just going to go with my first nonsensical thought which was to say I think our fondness for "Shock the Monkey" is perfectly ordinate! Zephyrnthesky, thanks for pointing out that "Shakin' the Tree" slipped by not only pop radio programmers, but my edit! You're correct, of course, it was not a top 40 hit on the Hot 100, though it was a top 10 hit on the year-old Modern Rock Tracks chart[2]. Abrazame (talk) 08:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Strawberry Fields Forever"

Strangely, this new section I created has vanished from this Talk page and its View history. However, it remains in My contributions, so I have recreated it. HairyWombat
I am not sure if this information belongs in the article, but "Strawberry Fields Forever" was the first solo recording by Peter Gabriel to be released after his departure from the band Genesis. I recently deleted it from the article All This and World War II (where it didn't fit) and am trying to find a home for it. It looks like it might belong here, but I will leave it to others to decide. HairyWombat 23:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i/o should have its own page back

since actual material has been released now (and will continue to be released through the year) i think it should have its own page back as now it can do more things than just counting how many times the album hasn't come out Vancouvercalico (talk) 23:50, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Opening too long

There's no need for all that information in the opening. This is his discography page and most of that stuff is covered in his own article. It needs to be seriously pared down. 98.13.3.175 (talk) 00:45, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
