Peter Gabriel era Genesis were playing music that was popular for Rock bands to play at the time. Still it was uderground music, it was heavy and more complicated than songs on the Pop charts. But they still did well with album sales.

He developed as an artist. When he was on his own he had more control over his music, and just like any one else his musical taste changed (along with everyone else in the decade).
