Your Ten Favourite.....Peter Gabriel songs

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

Yes, I like Us, some great songs. I don't really know any of the others. I got Up and hardly played it, just seemed dull, but maybe I should revisit.

I think thats a good idea Otis. We saw him live on tour performing a lot of songs from 'UP' and they certainly are worth another listen!

I will be happy to never hear Sledgehammer again, though. Fantastic video, sledgehammer of a song. No thank you.

Otis, if you have to get just one, get the third album with the melting face cover.

Saw that tour as well, at Madison Square Garden. He is supremely good live. There are a few tunes on Up I really really like, such as "Sky Blue," "Signal To Noise" and "Growing Up," but also a couple of clunkers (e.g. "Barry Williams Show"), which is surprising when you consider how long it took him to come out with a new album.

Actually I do remember liking the ones you name and loathing the BWS. I loved Us, some really great songs on it, and it all suited his voice so well. I'll check out the melting face one!
