Favorite Peter Gabriel Song

[Eumenides]

I've been going through a Peter Gabriel phase the last few days. Biko still sends shivers down my spine. What about you?

[Lexingtonian]

1. you forgot 'In Your Eyes' !

That's a 5 yard penalty, repeat first down! :D

[BlueEyedSon]

5. In your eyes.

[Eumenides]

8. I left it off

I had a roommate in college who would put that song on repeat and leave it for hours. It kind of ruined it for me. Sorry.x(

[Lexingtonian]

13. Okay

I voted for 'Solsbury Hill', then....

I bought "Up" a few days ago and love it, btw. 'Sky Blue', 'No Way Out', 'More Than This'- not easy to take but amazing....

[Dudley_DUright]

11. Three for "In Your Eyes"

[blackcat77]

16. Absolutely! That song gives me chills... :) nt

[CBHagman]

2. "Solsbury Hill," with "Mercy Street" a close second.

I also love "In Your Eyes."

3. all songs rule

but if anyone votes for Phil Collins I'm organizing a posse.

oh and I'm going to vote for Exposure just to be contrarian, the version on Fripp's album that Gabriel sings.

[1monster]

10. I LIKE Phil Collins.

I like Peter Gabriel too.

Is there any rule that says a person can't like both?????!!!!

12. No problem

liking both is fine.
Saying "screw Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins rules" (the poll option) is another matter entirely!!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Other -- Mercy Street (nt)

[EXE619K]

6. Steam

n/t

[MUAD_DIB]

7. Mercy Street.

[tridim]

9. "Red Rain" and "Games Without Frontiers"

should be on your list as well. I voted for Solsbury Hill.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

14. "Here Comes the Flood"

I have no idea what album it's on, but I heard it on the pilot of "Alias" and thought: that's his best song ever.

[scottcsmith]

15. "I have the touch" n/t

[theoceansnerves]

17. i don't remember n/m

[tigerbeat]

18. "family snapshot" n/t

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

19. *****No Self Control***** n/t

[NC_Nurse]

20. I like

"In your eyes" but I think "Red Rain" is my fave.

[Ramsey]

21. In Your Eyes

While that is a total cliche, it is one of the best songs ever written.

But PG has so many awesome songs, I also really love Solsbury Hill, Games Without Frontiers, Biko, every song on Security, every song on Passion, and the songs Sky Blue and More Than This on his newest, UP, are among his very best!!

[fudge stripe cookays]

22. "That Voice Again"

[reprehensor]

23. Moribund the Burgermeister

Psyche!

For me it changes with Gabriel, at this second, 'STEAM'!

[Liberal Veteran]

24. Jeux sans frontieres

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
-Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
-Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
-Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
-Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

[Sufi Marmot]

25. "D.I.Y.", "Animal Magic"

From the 'Scratch' album.

If you throw the floor open to Gabriel-era Genesis, then I'd include "Supper's Ready", "Counting Out Time" , "Back in N.Y.C.",and "The Musical Box". Not sure if he shared songwriting credits with the rest of the band on those, though.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

26. "Carpet Crawlers", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"...

Gabriel solo: "The Family and The Fishing Net."

[NightTrain]

27. No "Sledgehammer?"

:wtf:

[put out]

28. Yes, it has a good beat and you can dance to it. No lessons.

One of my favorites is "Big Time". ooh yeah. Now being used for advertising (I think) Lincoln Town cars. My son saw, heard it, and said "That's the opposite of what the song is".

Yeah, the advertisers hope people don't listen. Kind of like Reagan and "Born in the U.S.A.".

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Sledgehammer and Steam

[Colin Ex]

30. Peter Gabriel sucks!

31. Can't pick just one!

I've been going through a PG phase for the past few months, so here are my picks:

PG III (Melt):
Intruder
Games Without Frontiers
Lead A Normal Life

Security:
Rythym of the Heat
I Have the Touch
Family & the Fishing Net
Lay Your Hands on Me
Kiss of Life

So:
Red Rain
In Your Eyes
We Do What We're Told

Us: (my favorite album, if I were forced to choose)
Come Talk to Me
Love to Be Loved
Only Us
Digging in the Dirt
Kiss That Frog
Secret World

Up:
Darkness
No Way Out
I Grieve
My Head Sounds Like That
More Than This
Signal to Noise

I can't emphasize enough, I love all of his music, and cannot possibly pick just one favorite. Yay for PG!

Edit: Since I don't have his first two albums (yet) I can't pick faves off those, but obviously, Solsbury Hill would be one of them!

[SilasSoule]

34. That Security Album still haunts me to this day.

Rythm of the Heat, I have the touch and Lay your hands on me.

[neebob]

32. Steam!

No contest.

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. All of them, but they're even better in German!

I love the German versions of his albums.

[populistmom]

35. "In Your Eyes" or "Red Rain"

[Liberal Classic]

36. This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)

Excellent words.

[opiate69]

37. "Games Without Frontiers"

Great song.... Hon. Mention to "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" (I know... it was Genesis.. but P.G. wrote it, I believe..
