500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 242 Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel IV

 


I've always liked Peter Gabriel. Apart from So. The album that broke him truly huge. It, and particularly Sledgehammer remind me of the night when I lost my virginity, so perhaps I should be eternally grateful to it and consider it My Tune.But I can't stand that song and don't care for the album.Gabriel though is generally qiote masterful. 

I bought this when it came out. And I don't think I really went for it. I prefer the three that precede it even though it's rhymically and thematcially very strong. It lacks the melody of earlier work and a record generally needs  melody to draw me in and hold my attention,
