"Solsbury Hill" launched Peter Gabriel's solo career to success beyond what I imagine he may not have expected.
Peter Gabriel recorded ten solo albums -
Peter Gabriel (1977) - Gold in the UK
Peter Gabriel (1978)
Peter Gabriel (1980) - Gold in the UK and U.S.
Peter Gabriel (1982) - Gold in the UK and U.S.
So (1986) - 3x Platinum in the UK/5x Platinum in the U.S.

My take away -
Genesis would not have been without Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. As with Peter Gabriel, I cannot imagine Phil Collins anticipating his solo success being permanently etched into the music industry. Peter Gabriel, though. His awards and nominations are well deserved. In fact, I will conclude on this note-
