There are actually some surprising parallels between these two albums, other than being released in 1980:
1) Both recorded in London's Townhouse Studios within a few months of each other. 2) Both included Hugh Padgham as an engineer. 3) The Peter Gabriel album is well-known for having no cymbals in the percussion department. On Drama, Alan White performs "Run Through the Light" without using cymbals. Which of the two albums do you prefer?

Yes, it has to be Drama, bearing in mind I can't name any of the songs on Peter Gabriel 3.

Gabriel. That album is a masterpiece. Drama is just fine. I prefer their pop stuff to it.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Mr. Gabriel.
But it was a very, very tough choice.

PG III is a top of my list Gab's album, but for this pair up I have to pick Drama by a nano meter.

Though I like both, and appreciate PG's solo and Genesis work, Drama is stronger and more proggy to me, and has stood up to the test of time as well. Sorry Pete, old chum.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Gabriel's album is really great and I listen to it regularly with much pleasure, but Drama is just something special, very special, in my book.

PGIII and it's not even vaguely close. It's a great album. Drama simply is not. It's not even a good Yes album.

I would like to vote for Drama, but I don't know Gabriel's album, so I really can't. However, for what little I checked out some time ago, Melt was the album that interested me the most from Grabriel solo, besides the live album from around the same time.
