[Santos]

I have been waiting for his solo works on Spotify for a year!!!

Such a great artist and wonderful music..

Welll, crap

POR QUE NO HAY CANCIOMES NI ALBUMES DE PETER GABRIEL?

[JamieGJohnson]

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

[Marlontorrespe]

Because Peter wrote the entire Lyrics on the album, so, tecnically the album belongs to him with the Copyrights

If you are referring to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, I sincerely hope you're joking.  Yes, Peter wrote all of the lyrics, but the rest of the band wrote the music.  So no, Gabriel doesn't own the rights to the record - it was a Genesis record.  Every Genesis song from that era - even "Horizons", which was an instrumental that Steve Hackett wrote and performed himself - is credited to the entire band.

Why isn't Peter's music on Spotify is the US ? So ,Us & Up need to be on it .I love Spotify and making playlists and it is very annoying not having some of your favorites songs on it .Please fix it .Thank you .

Of the thousands, if not millions, of artists on Spotify, why is Peter Gabriel so special that we can’t hear his music?  I have yet to read a logical explanation, and that link to the audio file does not work.

I already bought his music 30 years ago, why should I have to buy it again?  This is why I pay Spotify, because I don’t have a cassette player or phonograph any more.  Heck, my only CD players are in the car and my PC and I don’t use them for music.

The pickings are slim here in the US. He is easily one of my favorite artists and it's frustrating.

I share the same sentiment. How come Spotify won't be more transparent with what is going on? All of his music is on Apple Music, yet not Spotify. I want to be able to listen to Sledgehammer whenever I want to. 

[c0ldst0rage]

It's ridiculous really...
Virtually all his music is on YouTube, and he'll get pennies from that too - so why not pull all your music from there if you're being precious abou it?
I suspect the reason it's on YouTube and not Spotify is because Joe Public have uploaded it there, whereas his record company would have to deliberately upload it to Spotify.

[Brontophile]

I understand that and I am aware of that as an option. I pay for Spotify. Thought it would be worth mentioning so that the powers that be would know there is an interest.

[das187]

seriously so weird that it's on youtube as topics but not on spotify. it's one of the remaining things I have in my itunes on my iphone with ripped mp3s from the cd rather than just playing on spotify

[Brontophile]

So, I know you can convert YouTube videos into mp3 audio files using an online converter. (Google it) but would prefer to have it all on Spotify. I assume the reason for not having PG music is more from PG's end related to how they want their music distributed, politics, blah blah blah.

I have absolutely no sympathy for the bastage He's a multi-millionaire and makes more in dividends than he'll ever make from CD or streaming sales. Easily subverted via vpn + torrent.

[Brontophile]

Uh, sure. You do you.

[andyrich29]

Looks like Peter Gabriel is coming to Spotify on the 18th May!

[c0ldst0rage]

Maybe someone at Castle Gabriel was reading this, LOL!

[hi2222222222222]

I looked into it a bit more, and his gripe is that the streaming revenue goes to the labels, none of which goes to the artists. I can kind of see his point; it's a bit like Susan Olsen not negotiating a percentage of syndication residuals and having to get a non-acting job. It takes time for the participants of the industry to catch up with technology. I still don't see it as a big deal, as the music of decades ago which actually get streamed already had made a barrel of money for the artists for the most part.
