When most people think Peter Gabriel, they think of a young John Cusak holding a boombox playing "In Your Eyes". As much as that song is a classic, there's more to PG (that's what we call him in the pits) than that.
See, I grew up on him in the 90's. I even have some fun memories of me and my little sister singing along to one of his concerts that my dad had recorded on an old VHS. He made sure we knew our classic rock.
In recent news, I've learned that PG came out with a new album called "Scratch My Back". That's crazy, right? I mean - he hasn't really done anything since... John Cusak held a boombox playing "In Your Eyes".The album is actually a clever project. PG covered some modern songs, hoping that the bands he covered would cover his songs in return. This album was suppose to be called "I'll Scratch Yours".
Didn't work out.
But here's some of the covers PG produced. Pretty fantastic, if you ask me.
Peter Gabriel Covers:
Flume (Bon Iver)
My Body is a Cage (Arcade Fire)
Heroes (David Bowie)
If you like that, check out the track listing.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Unfortunately, Peter Gabriel is super strict about his music. So youtube videos are all I can offer you.
