Does anyone know of a few albums with vocalist that sounds a lot like Peter Gabriel, or possibly with a flute on most or all of the tracks? I would certainly love to hear another band with songs similar to "The Musical Box."

The newest Big Big Train album has vocals that remind me a lot of Peter Gabriel at times. And it's a great album to boot. ------------- "The meaning of life is to give life meaning."-Arjen Lucassen |

I think, 5 bridges, sounds a lot like early Genesis:

I think Mark Trueack from Unitopia sounds a lot like Gabriel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLan00rTcTc" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLan00rTcTc ------------- Future prosperity lies in the way you heal the world with love (Introitus - The hand that feeds you) |

| And of course british band Citizen Cane are maybe the closest you'll get to Gabriel like vocals and Genesis like songs. |

Thank you very much for the recommendations. The first two certainly sound very similar. I will probably listen to the others very soon. ------------- "You can't get something for nothing" -Rush |

Their are moments on MARILLION's FUGAZI where DEREK DICK A.K.A FISH sounds like Peter Gabriel.
INCUBIS and FUGAZI are the tracks specifically. No flute though except the end of the track of FUGAZI. enjoy man. ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

| Perhas Van Der Graff Generator? Peter Hamill doesn't sound so much like Gabriel, but he does the theatric singing a lot, just like Gabriel (and for me, he is a much better singer), and there's some flute on VDGG, though there's much more sax. Oh, and not much guitar. |

There's a whole genre of progressive rock that's devoted to mimic Gabriel's vocal faculties. http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=18 -------------
