Red Rain - Peter Gabriel with Michael Stipe and Natalie Merchant

And here's Solsbury Hill live with a full orchestra. Just beautiful...

Don't Give Up is one of his best tunes, with a little help from KB to make it SO

RTB, we all love music, and have strong opinions about it, so I hope you can forgive the following..................

Red Rain, is a poorly crafted badly executed pile of dirge, the live version is a cacophony of shhhhyyyyte (vocally) I for one don't buy into his recurring pool of red wine dream cr@@P. The Daryl Easlea critique that it was an obsessional reflection of the fear of aids and nuclear fallout was as absurd as the 'TUNE'

"Solsbury Hill" fcking genius, classic, brilliant songwriting, beautifully sung.

Just a thought,

Fair enough Boxing, at least you didn't slate Solsbury Hill. Then me and you might have tangled...

Music is great, I've done a bit (quite a bit) never to be posted on here. I love it. GL

really like Natalie Merchant, songs like wonder, beloved wife, san andreas fault. and a beautiful singer.

Peter Gabriel is a massive talent.

Pounf, if you don't mind me saying, that comment is akin to a mindless 'fan' caught under a mic, surely you have better to add.

dont give up was the Remainiacs tune after they lost crags!

Indeed, it was the tune of all right thinking people after the Brexit farce.

If we had another referendum tomorrow, Remain would win in a canter. Sadly that's not going to happen.

I really though that it could be changed as so many numpties hadn't realized what their vote would mean.

I was the numpty for thinking that. We are now doomed and nothing can be done to change that, not in my lifetime anyway.

Yep, great live version of Red Rain.
His album SO is 30 years old - unbelievable how the time goes by. Some truly classic tracks on there.including Don't Give Up with the legend that is Kate Bush.

Have to say I never really liked Sledgehammer.

Still have the vinyl copy, even though replaced by CD years ago.

we have a lot in common facts, i like kate bush to,

also we agree on Bullfighting, who'd have thought we'd become mates on here
