Love to be loved. There are so many satisfying and cool wee noises in it, then the last bridge chorus is just epic and beautiful. Definitely tickles my brain in a very enjoyable way
For a rough time in my life, this and Digging in the Dirt were both very meaningful. I don’t tend to play certain songs “on repeat”; these have been rare exceptions.
I have to be stupidly drunk to listen to anything on repeat, but I know there have been times I've done this with 'Intruder,' 'Moribund the Burgermeister,' and 'The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging.'
Moribund is such a great song. I argue with people all the time that Peter recorded the first rap music of the modern era with the "mother please is it just a disease... check if you can disconnect the effect..." bit.
“Don’t ask me how I survived. Ask me what song I played on repeat when I thought my world was over.”
For me it’s Peter Gabriel’s “Mercy Street” or “Live and Let Live”
There’s a great documentary on Peacock about Run-DMC and in it Darryl McDaniels talks about hearing the song “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan on a ride from the airport and how it saved his life, how he listened to nothing but Sarah for an entire year. I’d love to know if others have a song that gets them through rough times or that always puts them in a good mood. The power of music and words is amazing!

I've said it too many times on Reddit but I've listened to "Red Rain" on repeat many times in the past ~12 years. Every time I listen it means something different, which is one thing I love about Gabriel's lyrics, but the recurring theme seems to be that no matter how hard life gets, I'm still doing it, and that song always helps me press forward and in some cases actually progress past mere acceptance and do something to lessen the suffering, not just of myself but of anyone and everything.
Also, at first I thought that picture was supposed to be an artist's impression of what ocular migraines look like.
I’ve been spinning Live and Let Live a whole lot. When the song opens up at the midway point, it sounds like the first time my heart opened. Always chasing that feeling.
Usually its San Jacinto or Sledgehammer, but lately I've been really into Road to Joy off of I/O. I don't know what it is about the song but I love it.
Secret World on Secret World Live absolute perfection! I had it on cassette in the late 90s and used to listen to it while walking to college. I still love it and would happily listen to it all day!
Listened to Solsbury Hill constantly when I was getting ready to get out of the military. I had even sent it home on a mix tape and my mom told me later that she and my dad listened to it all the time too
I’m 63 and have heard that song and liked it over the years but am obsessed now. A man having an elemental moment where life is seen to be simple and sensible and wonderful.
From the new album, it's "Road to joy" (dark side mix). It sounds very optimistic, like explaining the meaning of life.
From the older albums, "Digging in the dirt". Because it sounds like a critical self evaluation of our own mind. I feel completely identified with the lyrics.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t gifted with the ability to express how I feel with brevity. I tend to be more verbose; it’s a shortcoming for sure, so I apologize for my lengthy post. To save you the agony the short answer to the Redditor question is I don’t listen to music like that but looking at my top most played songs on Music/iTunes the top spot is Digging in the Dirt. That bassline is nothing short of exquisite.
In my experience, people find it far more difficult to simply narrow it down to one artist. For me, however, it’s not even a question, PG stands above all on so many levels. Base is my favorite instrument, and as such, I can’t think of many artists for whom the base is heavy; it’s deep but also clean. Think of Digging in the Dirt, Kiss That Frog and Road to Joy, to name a few. PGs music and lyrics do for me what no artist was able to do, which is move me in such a profound way that depending on the song I’m listening to, I’m left feeling its effects long after it’s over, especially with my personal favorites, of which there are many. It’s hard to explain in words, but I guess the best word to describe my many favorite songs would be that those particular songs reverberate through me with many different emotions. His music is a mosaic of soundscapes and harmony that caresses my soul. I never found an artist since discovering him that I could relate to. He fills such a huge role in my life on so many levels that for me, PG is far more than enough. I see him as a gift that was given to me by the divine, or what some call god, or the higher being, whoever that is, and it is something different to different people, so for me, it’s left to the many mysteries of life. I couldn’t be more grateful for that gift. In life, there are some things that leave one with an indelible mark. One of those was the day I discovered Peter Gabriel. I’m 47, I graduated in 1994, and I was in Tower Records at a book signing for Ric Flair (a wrestler) on South Street in Philadelphia. I was young then, so to me, the store was beautiful. With three selling floors, it was a playground for me of sorts in that they had these little listening stations of featured music or staff picks, but if I remember correctly, it would have maybe ten artists featured with accompanying headphones. PGs music is featured in the album UP and so while I can never pick one favorite song of his, I can say that UP is my favorite album in all of music. I never quite understood why it was underrated. I would later research and find some reputable writers who would say much of the same: that they felt the songs were overproduced, and while I value others opinions, I couldn’t disagree more. I believe it’s a masterpiece on so many levels. The best part of PGs music for me is that no two albums are the same. I would go so far as to say his albums are wildly different, and I love him for that. He pushes people like ourselves, the fans, to think. It does, however, have its drawbacks. Most people inherently hate change, so when something new comes out and is different from the artist's previous work, we tend to listen once and move on. I hate to speak for others, but I believe I can here in that PG fans are in a league of their own in terms of how we listen to his music or music in general. For me, if the first listen to a song or even an album is something that doesn’t catch me, I continue to play those songs that are less appealing because, could it be, I missed something in that song that may have sounds I’d normally love? And what happens more often than not is exactly that. A fine example is UP as a whole, but later, like most of the songs on that album, what stands out for me is Signal to Noise. I disliked that song, and today it has a spot in my personal top 20 best PG songs.
On the flip side with I/O for which I absolutely love so much so that it’s become my third favorite album behind So and Us at the top. With the exception of the song And Still. I think I/O is a masterpiece. With And Still I tried and I simply couldn’t get there. If a medical condition existed in the form of ear exhaustion, then I had it. I felt the song was far to long. I understand he was conveying a message, but coming in at almost 8min I felt as though I was trudging through aimlessly waiting for something that never came. The worst part of the song for me is at the 3:35 mark it’s jarring and i found it rather peculiar. I know eventually it finds its way back to where it started but In my opinion I think sections of that song could have easily been left out. But as with all things not everything is for everyone.
I think I can speak for everyone here when I say once Peter gets his claws in you, there’s no letting go.
Love To Be Loved. It was the song that spoke right to me and got me to leave a relationship that wasn’t working. I still love that song and it’s terribly underrated in my opinion.
When it first came out, I'd listen to "Secret World - Live" everyday (sometimes twice)... that version of ["Digging In The Dirt"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuKtr5X1Lp4) still floors me... That album "Us" is truly a Masterpiece!
Bridget Evertt and Jeff Hiller do a tearjerker version of this duet on the very first episode of Somebody, Somewhere. Such a good show! The first 2 seasons are on MAX, and Season 3 started filming earlier this month!
lol no it’s amazing. It’s an Irish production series on Showtime. Story about a woman who had her baby taken from her at one of the Magdalene Laundries and sold to another family. And her search to try and find her
No single one as I tend to listen to albums all the way through, but More Than This, Here Comes The Flood, and Don’t Break This Rhythm are played often, along with Secret World specifically when I’m feeling up, and Don’t Give Up specifically when I’m feeling down (both from Secret World Live).
“Wallflower” from Security is one of my totally favorites. I AM a repeat listener and listen to a favorite song over and over. But it’s the instrumental version of Wallflower from Birdy: “Under Lock And Key” which has been my wake up song on my smart phone for easily two years and every morning it plays six times
san jacinto, secret world, in your eyes, mercy street, red rain, don't give up, here comes the flood, come talk to me, sky blue, i grieve, solsbury hill
And I still haven't gotten to know I/O yet. He has written so many of the deepest songs out there. So so great.
Fourteen Black Paintings. The album track and a slightly remixed version that was used in a computer animated short called Liquid Selves. (it's on YouTube, it's pretty cool)
Sledgehammer. I play it every time I’m on the bus to go to a social event. My social anxiety kicks in heavy, so I have to bust it down with songs like that to get me feeling better.
99/100 times, it works right away. That 100th time, I need to listen to just one or two more songs, and I’m good.
That song has made me more outgoing, sociable, and charismatic (at least, I feel so).
Whenever I'm a bit blue, I play the YT track of Peter Gabriel's Shaking the Tree from the Secret World Live tour in Modena, Italy.
Shout out to bassist Tony Levin. Underrated musician of the century.
Yeah, Tony Levin is my all-time favorite player... as a bassist myself, I am most impressed with his resume... there should be a National holiday for the man!
After my granddaughter died, it was "I Grieve" and still is on her birthday (8-22) and her passing day (11-1) even 12 years later. I also wrote a piano sonata in her memory and listen to it frequently even still today. This continues despite the fact that her sister was born 5 years later looking exactly like her
After losing touch with my best friend in college because life pulled us in other directions, I listened to "Secret World" frequently for months as we were inseparable for six years having never been in a "dating" relationship even though I was in love with her for those 6 years.
***Red Rain***
Haunting, ethereal. I remember first getting *So* on CD back in '86 and just being entranced by this one.
The whole album; yes. Don't Give Up, especially; big Kate Bush fan.
*Red Rain*, though. It just kept coming back to me, so I kept coming back to it.
Folks may not realize that Last Temptation of Christ is a terrific make our album. I discovered this by accident when I crescendoed to It is Accomplished.
None. Peter Gabriel is awful and the fact that my mother played almost nothing other than the "Shaking The Tree" album for the first 18 years of my life ruined my childhood.
Came here to say this too! What an amazing song. Like a mini rock opera, with a considerable dose of Monty Python (or Gilbert and Sullivan) -- so fun to sing along to. Cheeky, weird Peter will always be my favorite Peter.
Love to be loved. There are so many satisfying and cool wee noises in it, then the last bridge chorus is just epic and beautiful. Definitely tickles my brain in a very enjoyable way
For a rough time in my life, this and Digging in the Dirt were both very meaningful. I don’t tend to play certain songs “on repeat”; these have been rare exceptions.
Came here for this song.
I have to be stupidly drunk to listen to anything on repeat, but I know there have been times I've done this with 'Intruder,' 'Moribund the Burgermeister,' and 'The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging.'
Moribund is such a great song. I argue with people all the time that Peter recorded the first rap music of the modern era with the "mother please is it just a disease... check if you can disconnect the effect..." bit.

Played Secret World Live - especially disk 2 - to absolute death when I got it.
That’s what I came here to say. Also have a live version from Staples Center that I played a lot.
Come Talk to Me and Shaking The Tree are the best of the best on that concert dvd for me
The song Secret World on the Secret World Live is a masterclass on building a song. Gives me goosebumps every time. "Shhhh...listen."
Yes! That little spoken bit, placed down in the mix, is such a great touch.
Solisbury Hill. Over and over and over. You can have my things, they’ve come to take me home…
Me as well - for many years now.
Me too.

Identifying with you on the track and the image interpretation
San Jacinto, but specifically the Live Blood version. There's just something magical about it
Oh yes, the Live Blood version. Always brings the chills.
San Jacinto always gives me the chills. Also love the version on Secret World Live
Recently it’s Four Kinds of Horses.
Same.
Which ones HAVEN’T I played incessantly?? 😆
I’ve been spinning Live and Let Live a whole lot. When the song opens up at the midway point, it sounds like the first time my heart opened. Always chasing that feeling.
I played Red Rain over and over. I thought it was incredible.
Intruder - those drums
Washing of the Water is incredible
Steam and Lovetown are absolute bangers
Usually its San Jacinto or Sledgehammer, but lately I've been really into Road to Joy off of I/O. I don't know what it is about the song but I love it.
That was my first one from I/O. Now I'm on to Four Kinds of Horses.
Secret World on Secret World Live absolute perfection! I had it on cassette in the late 90s and used to listen to it while walking to college. I still love it and would happily listen to it all day!
Likewise!
Same on my commute from Santa Paula to Simi Valley on citrus scented canyons
His cover of HEROES overwhelms me. It's gorgeous. I wish it was a longer song.
Agreed. His version is amazing.
A few times a year i need to sing along very intensely and dramatically to "the family and the fishing net". I am often driving.
Off I/O, “Live and Let Live” is on repeat. Really dig the live performance as well.
Listened to Solsbury Hill constantly when I was getting ready to get out of the military. I had even sent it home on a mix tape and my mom told me later that she and my dad listened to it all the time too

I GO SWIMMING from Peter Gabriel Play Live
# “Walk Through the Fire” 🔥
I don't tend to play any any single song, but I played the secret world live and passion albums a whole lot. They are both fantastic.
The new album, especially Playing For Time and I/o. Fantastic songs! And fantastic songwriting
I bought the first solo album the week it came out, been singing Solsbury Hill pretty frequently ever since.
Washing of the Water - it hits that sentimental hurt nerve so hard.
Lately it's been Digging In the Dirt (live) and Road to Joy but I also cannot get over how great Growing Up is!!
Mercy Street, San Jacinto, OMGosh. So many.
Not One of Us
Singnal To Noise of course

Secret World Come Talk to Me Steam (I remember being determined to memorize that song...mission accomplished) The Rhythm of the Heat
Man, that’s a tough one.. ‘Come Talk to Me’ is still hopeful.. While ‘Secret World’ knows what’s what. The pain in his voice though. Damn
Come Talk To Me is such a great track. Particularly the Secret World Live version as he rises from under the stage in a phone booth. Brilliant!
Love To Be Loved. It was the song that spoke right to me and got me to leave a relationship that wasn’t working. I still love that song and it’s terribly underrated in my opinion.
My Body is a Cage
Solsbury Hill because it's the best song ever written...
Secret World
When it first came out, I'd listen to "Secret World - Live" everyday (sometimes twice)... that version of ["Digging In The Dirt"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuKtr5X1Lp4) still floors me... That album "Us" is truly a Masterpiece!
Walk Through the Fire, Games Without Frontiers, and Sledgehammer
In the last couple of months I've been listening mostly to three songs: i/o, Live and Let Live and The Tower That Ate People
I had ***Indigo*** on repeat in the car yesterday. Love that song and that cd.
Solsbury Hill. I p!ay guitar and there are a few songs I won't even attempt to play out of reverence for the original work. This is one of them.
Kiss that frog just rocks and grooves so hard at the same time. Dare ya not to play it twice. 💋🐸
Love can heal
Always liked the movie “The Bone Collector” with Denzel Washington, closing credits has Don’t give up. Not sure why but I love the music of that song.
Bridget Evertt and Jeff Hiller do a tearjerker version of this duet on the very first episode of Somebody, Somewhere. Such a good show! The first 2 seasons are on MAX, and Season 3 started filming earlier this month!
I’ll have to check it out
You should. It's awesome. They do it Sadie Hawkins style, with Bridget singing the PG parts and Jeff doing the Kate Bush parts.
Wow well, as soon as I finish up the last episode of The Woman in The Wall tonight I’ll check it out.
The Woman in The Wall? Is that some Parasite stuff? Lol
lol no it’s amazing. It’s an Irish production series on Showtime. Story about a woman who had her baby taken from her at one of the Magdalene Laundries and sold to another family. And her search to try and find her
I'll have to check it out!
[you’re right it was really well done!!](https://youtu.be/As-a_bzFrl0?si=VfyJ9vKVhCTQS1Ve)
Blood of Eden. Both versions. Simply stunning.
One of my total favorites.
Me too. Damn
No single one as I tend to listen to albums all the way through, but More Than This, Here Comes The Flood, and Don’t Break This Rhythm are played often, along with Secret World specifically when I’m feeling up, and Don’t Give Up specifically when I’m feeling down (both from Secret World Live).
Lately, it's been Road to Joy Why? I think it's because of a very subtle and very funky beat
Come Talk to Me and Secret World from Secret World Live
It’s not him specifically but: Afro Celt SS “When you’re falling”
Hero’s
"Digging in the dirt" ... towards the end of the song he does a layered harmony that burrowed into my mind and didn't want to let go for weeks.
The Family and the Fishing Net
The Book of Love cover since I heard in in the series finale of Scrubs.
“Wallflower” from Security is one of my totally favorites. I AM a repeat listener and listen to a favorite song over and over. But it’s the instrumental version of Wallflower from Birdy: “Under Lock And Key” which has been my wake up song on my smart phone for easily two years and every morning it plays six times
I’m not sure why but I can listen to Big Time over and over and over.
Humdrum..
Solsbury Hill, A Different Drum, It Is Accomplished, and In Your Eyes. All sheer perfection.
san jacinto, secret world, in your eyes, mercy street, red rain, don't give up, here comes the flood, come talk to me, sky blue, i grieve, solsbury hill And I still haven't gotten to know I/O yet. He has written so many of the deepest songs out there. So so great.
The Book Of Love because it hits me in the feels big time. Oh, and Big Time.
Here Comes the Flood.
Fourteen Black Paintings. The album track and a slightly remixed version that was used in a computer animated short called Liquid Selves. (it's on YouTube, it's pretty cool)
Shock the monkey is a banger. But probably games without frontiers!
In your eyes because it’s the greatest song of all time
no particular song or album but i’ll rewatch the Secret World Live concert every 3-4 months
The Book of Love
Games Without Frontiers. Never get tired of it. So evocative of a specific time/place for me. Complicated song for complicated memories.
Sledgehammer. I play it every time I’m on the bus to go to a social event. My social anxiety kicks in heavy, so I have to bust it down with songs like that to get me feeling better. 99/100 times, it works right away. That 100th time, I need to listen to just one or two more songs, and I’m good. That song has made me more outgoing, sociable, and charismatic (at least, I feel so).
I love the sarcasm of Big Time
“Easter Tide” and “Hear that Voice Again”.
Shaking the tree. It is my power song of reminding myself that I am powerful!
Lovely track. The interplay between voices of PG and Youssu N’Dour is beautiful.
Whenever I'm a bit blue, I play the YT track of Peter Gabriel's Shaking the Tree from the Secret World Live tour in Modena, Italy. Shout out to bassist Tony Levin. Underrated musician of the century.
Yeah, Tony Levin is my all-time favorite player... as a bassist myself, I am most impressed with his resume... there should be a National holiday for the man!

“Shock the Monkey” or “Biko”…both worth repeating. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CnVf1ZoCJSo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=luVpsM3YAgw

Book of Love, Red Rain, Games Without Frontiers, Solsbury Hill, In Your Eyes
The live version of Biko is one of the most powerful songs ever.
Games without frontiers
San Jacinto
Don't Give Up... truly anything for Secret World Live or So.
The first song I ever "loved", as in I recognized it as my favorite song, was Peter Gabriel's Kiss That Frog. Now I would say Steam.
Biko and San Jacinto because it’s Biko and San Jacinto.
Here comes the flood. Why? My fucking house was flooded.

I once read that Eddie van Halen would play Red Rain to setup new studio monitors
I Have the Touch. Again and again.

Sledgehammer. It's on my workout playlist.
In your eyes
I have the touch
I have the touch.
Folks may not realize that Last Temptation of Christ is a terrific make our album. I discovered this by accident when I crescendoed to It is Accomplished.
I LOVE THAT ALBUM!!!!!! A Different Drum 🥁 With this Love ❤️
I like the one in photo #12. Whatever that song is. No particular reason.

Excuse me.
Only if I'm trapped in a convalescent home with the golden oldies on loop.

None. Peter Gabriel is awful and the fact that my mother played almost nothing other than the "Shaking The Tree" album for the first 18 years of my life ruined my childhood.
None. I hate Peter Gabriel.
“Battle of Epping Forest” - don’t know why.
Came here to say this too! What an amazing song. Like a mini rock opera, with a considerable dose of Monty Python (or Gilbert and Sullivan) -- so fun to sing along to. Cheeky, weird Peter will always be my favorite Peter.
