Peter Gabriel

[Homerboy]

Yet Sledge Hammer was one of Peter Gabriel's favorites. He said he finally achieved the MoTown sound he had been after for years.

Also, Genesis - Genesis is a very good pop rock album.

Thats fine if he likes it. He's entitled to his opinion and me to mine.... I don't care for the song. Much better ones out there.

I have the touch

Gabriel with Genesis
Carpet Crawlers

Genesis with Phil Collins before they turned top 40
Squonk

His Genisis career was cool, but too trippy. Every album he made (Foxtrot et all) had a host of great songs, and then a ballady flop like the Battle of Epping Forest. Too much LSD and/or time on his hands. The man liked dressing up like flowers a bit too much.

But then Seconds Out was great! Bot versions, studio w/ PG, and live w/o. One of my first "boxed sets" there.

His later stuff is mixed too. His LATEST stuff is just too high-falootin' and preachy.

Call me crazy, but I love this song (even though I hate hippies):

I love Peter Gabriel, but find it disturbing that the OP picked one of his worst songs EVER.

Also Genesis with Phil Collins is atrocious. Just horrible. Hell, Phil Collins is one of the worst things in music history.

You're either getting too much or too little medication.

Nice. I clearly have been negligent in my appreciation of Peter Gabriels' music. Mainly just was aware of his few mega hits.

[natto fire]

Yeah, big fan. I like his older albums better, but Story of OVO is still good.
I Have the Touch, Fourteen Black Paintings, Secret World, Steam, and Us, so many greats.

An interesting alternative:
Jetzt Kommt die Flut
Peter Gabriel released his second and third albums completely remixed in German. I think some of the songs actually work better on the Deutsches Album versions.
Schock den Affen
Der Rhythmus der Hitze

edit: I can't find a link for one of my favorites, Kontakt.

Lamb lies down on Broadway was ahead of its time. He did lose his mind and needed to get his shit together which is why he left Genesis...


His solo work had some very good highlights that have been very well represented in this thread.


I have one word that best highlights Phil Collins failure at music.....sususudio....crazy ass thing about that song is it was the #1 song that year billboard.....gd the eighties were just plain weird...

 

[angminas]

Sussudio isn't bad...it's just simple. It's a butt-shaker. Nothing wrong with that, especially if you've spent much of the last decade doing art rock. Not every song has to be about wolves wearing crowns, or evil plants conquering the earth, or druggies in the middle of a desert.

I have that record...as in vinyl.

I have it, autographed.
