Kate's music has just not moved me to the same extent as Peter's.

I'm afraid I barely know Kate Bush, but it's nice to find and artist who can actually give some competition to Peter Gabriel.

Both have their peaks and their lows. I cannot decide. No vote.

Even on his first four albums (which are the only ones I care about) Peter Gabriel is hit or miss artist out of these two for me. Love everything on Kate's five first LP's including all of Lionheart which I know is considered a failure of sorts (with a reputation among fans not unlike KC's In The Wake of Poseidon). Imo her albums get patchier after Hounds of Love but never completely uninteresting.

Gabriel's "melt" album may be my fav release out of either artist, but The Dreaming is close, and Kate is more consistently entertaining to my ears, so Kate it is.

Similar views here. Another thing: strangely, Gabriel the singer kind of disappears on his solo albums. It's as if he was rather anxious to bring out his songwriting facet. Or maybe it's just the contrast between his solo work and the more theatrical, dramatic Genesis albums that he was a part of. Anyhow, Kate Bush actually brought some, probably a lot, of that dramatism to her solo albums while still staying in step with the changes going in music at that time. I too especially love her first few albums. Lionheart may be patchy, but it's still excellent, if people would just forget it's sandwiched between Kick Inside and Never for Ever.

Sorry Xonty, but I never got the bug for Kate's music. She is beautiful though. I feel the exact opposite about Gabriel, so he gets the vote.

So you like his music but think he's ugly? 
Gotta be PG, he's got some really great solo albums and Kate Bush I kind of have mixed feelings about.

Gabriel - and for anyone who thinks he peaked in the 70's. Listen to Up.

What he said. It's kind of like asking who did better on Don't Give Up?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A great singer-songwriter vs a pop star with some interests in world music... Kate for me

Even when you simplify PG in that way, it sounds more interesting to me.
