All tracks from A Trick Of The Tail and Wind & Wuthering... so the classic Genesis era should be completed! Evil%20Smile

Please visit www.petergabriel.com/covers

Peter's thinking about recording some covers
Not necessarily standards or classic songs, but songs perhaps that are from artists that are less known, or songs that are less known. I'm sure some of you out there will have ideas for songs thatÊyou'd like to hear me sing and it would be very interesting to get your feedback... I'm certainly not promising to cover the ones that score the highest, because when you cover a song you really have to feel something for it, but your ideas would be much appreciated.”
Peter Gabriel

PG covering some old Neil Young would be an excellent idea.

I was having a real hard time with this until I started thinking about the Tori Amos album of covers, Strange Little Girls, and pretty much everyone she did would make for a good cover by Peter.  Of course I'd really just prefer a new album of originals.

When I first read this thread I read it as ideas for album covers, and I was thinking I haven't seen any new Roger Deans lately.  Maybe Dean could do a cover for his album of covers. Big%20smile

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I asked for Boris the Spider from The Who, think it will sound good and actually fits Perter gabriel very well.

Rain Dogs - Tom Waits

I think that would turn out well.

I think this might be something for PG:
 
He could take a bunch of songs from female singer-songwriters and interpret them from a male point-of-view , as Tori Amos did on Strange Little Girls (the other way around, of course),
 
Quite a challenge, I would imagine. Cheeky too.

Glad I'm not one of Peter's vocal cords on that one, but a great track from a great period of a great band. Wink
