The Rhythm of the Heat is the best concert opener I’ve ever heard/seen.

Nightmare Cinema posted:Red Rain Correct. Immaculate production, evocative and haunting lyrics, Stewart Copeland on the high hats, Peter Gabriel's voice at once growling, pleading, and tender. The best opening track to an album ever imho and a truly epic song in its own right. So good!

my favorite Peter Gabriel songs are "Family Snapshot" and "Dressing The Wound" but I thought were were talking exclusively about music he made while fat? There is some pretty good stuff on Up and I need to check out that new album.

Wait, is Peter Gabriel fat now? Anyway, my answer is "Out Out" from the GREMLINS soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPNj7BCoV5A

I'd give it to San Jacinto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsafEN0vEtI But I like all of his stuff a lot. "Up" and "I/O" are both full of incredible music and really fascinating explorations of an artist realizing he's getting older but I don't think he's lost much of a step creatively

San Jacinto was the first thing I thought of after Mercy Street was mentioned, for some reason. Also if anyone hasn’t seen Secret World Live, they should fix that. Excellent concert video. Plus it’s always fun to see Tony Levin, and Paula Cole has some serious pipes.

No Self Control. Original album version; there are live versions out there, but they don't have Kate bush, Robert Fripp, Phil Collins, and the incredible production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yEcTB2va5E

Original album version; there are live versions out there, but they don't have Kate bush, Robert Fripp, Phil Collins, and the incredible production. Hell yes, heavy as gently caress for 1980 it's like proto-industrial almost. The man is and always has been an artist The fact that he seemingly effortlessly wrote some of the catchiest pop songs ever made along the way seems almost a footnote to his work

It is clearly Moribund the Burgermeister. You put that song on, and everyone is deeply confused as to why you would put on such a weird record with a weird tone. Your friends! Your family! The coworker you’re driving to a customer site! You let them know that the next song is in 7/4 time, and they start to feel anguish and despair. This is prog rock they think. And then they hear the opening to Solsbury Hill, and she looks me in the eyes, smiles, and says “I never realized before, I’ve been so foolish.” You breathe in for what’s about to follow. “I love…” she can’t get the words out, she is so nervous. “I love prog rock!” Excitement rushes over you. “I love it too.” And you never get to where you’re going because you only listen to prog rock now.

In Your Eyes needs more love Games Without Frontiers keeps getting played on the radio at work, so I'll give that and The Book of Love (the real ending of Scrubs) honorable mentions too

Biko is one that honestly isn’t getting recognized enough. It’s just an epic track with a thunderous sound. You can really feel it wash over you.

You can really feel it wash over you. it has all the elements of a perfect song good message, super catchy chorus, bagpipes I think he uses it as a showender on like every tour - he did on the last one, and there's nothing like a stadium of people chanting along in haunted unison for minutes even after the band has left the stage it's quite powerful to experience in that way

I vacillate between 3 and 4 as his best album. My current fave track on 4 is one that doesn't get talked about much, the eerie Family And The Fishing Net-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIHEK1cCN-Q

Security is basically a perfect album. Might as well shout out "Lay Your Hands on Me" as well because I think that's the only one that didn't get any love yet Anyone modern Gabriel... I love Darkness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJbP5gKJENs The Barry Williams Show from the same album is Gabriel at some of his sleaziest/funniest (what is that beard my man) and Tony Levin at his funkiest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLGkpFXiMOg

The fact that a single person has said Sledgehammer, The Song That Fucks, and everyone else is talking about songs I’ve never heard of means that I gotta listen to a shitload of Peter Gabriel apparently

sledgehammer is a really good song but a lot of its impact is really tied up in the video, to the point that listening to it just kinda plays the video in my head. big agree on the above posters talking about biko

I like the part in Big Time where he says "with a snow-white pillow for my big fat head!" The rest is pretty ok too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBAl9cchQac&t=175s Sledgehammer is great but I've never been able to 100 percent vibe with it. I respect how filthy it is, but it's also weirdly PG with lines like the bumper car one. Related: I have to share two unhinged moments of Peter letting himself run wild from this live performance at 1:45 and 3:34. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9oYSawDEkA&t=105s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9oYSawDEkA&t=214s Put that thing away Peter!

"Steam" was written to recapture the magic of "Sledgehammer" but does so aggressively enough that it falls into that Nickelback ditch of sounding exactly like the more popular inspiration and ultimately a retread for money. I still think it's better because it's less horny.

That's funny, I've always though of steam as more overtly sexual but that could just be the video coloring it in my mind. In either case neither as as horny as "Kiss that Frog" and boy did I not realize what that one was about until I bothered to read the lyrics I think his last 2 are the only ones without an explicit "I like to gently caress" song, because that seemed to be a subject matter he loved to toy with as far back as Genesis but now he is probably too old to do that without feeling creepy but hell, the crowd still goes nuts when he's fist-pumping to sledgehammer so

Sledgehammer has a killer bass line. And the trick - Tony Levin used a pick. Which all bassists should use. Picks are great! But yeah, that fretless bass with an octave effect and a pick, boom. It elevates the song from a soul pastiche to a genuine bop. And the drummer is on fire. They basically stopped him as he was about to leave the studio because they wanted to record one more song, and so he lays down Sledgehammer in one take. Man had places to be.

I love the click track to jeux sans frontieres. I actually love how that album sounds like it's being held together with electrical tape and wire, the songs are there but just sort of deconstructed and put back together. One of the most important albums in dictating my own creative process.
