Default Peter Gabriel Appreciation

One of the most influential musicians ever IMO.

Great musician. Did experiment. Does not belong in the avant garde/experimental forum. Far too mainstream.

Love him in Genesis, never got into his solo stuff.
Might be time to give it another try, I do enjoy "poppier" music lately.

Peter Gabriel, an amazing talent. I saw him in Genesis what seems like an eternity ago (oh we were so young so long ago).

Tried it again.
Sadly still not my cup of tea.

Great lyricist.

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 builds 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

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're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Jeux sans frontieres
