Since 1977, Gabriel has issued seven critically lauded and commercially successful rock studio LPs, along with a number of soundtracks, live albums, collaborations, and compilations. He is also a strong proponent for world music, having founded the WOMAD festival and Real World Records. He's won Grammys for his music videos and soundtrack work, but Peter Gabriel is best known for his compelling, popular, and highly creative rock LPs.
