I think it is absolutely mandatory that he cover a PC-era Genesis tune...hopefully he will pick one of the better tunes...That's All or Abacab would be cool, although I wouldn't mind him having a go at Mama or Domino. Or maybe even something from ATOTT would be pretty cool, say Squonk or DOAV.
Other than that...I agree with whoever said an early Bowie tune...I would choose Cygnet Committee, Quicksand, or if he wanted to go a bit more commercial with it maybe Life on Mars?
I think it would also be cool if he covered some of the newer prog bands, maybe not the ones directly Genesis-inspired though, like K2, The Watch, etc. but maybe some TFK, some PT, some Tangent or Rocket Scientists. Finally, I wouldn't mind hearing PG cover a VDGG or PH song. T'would be interesting.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I couldn't agree more. What is it with all the artists doing covers? Running out of inspiration or what!!
More studio work please

I would be interested in "Dead Air for Radios" (Chroma Key) covered by Gabriel, especially Mouse (Now Watch What Happens). Or "Go" by O.S.I. Yes, I admit that sometimes I think Moore sounds a bit like Gabriel. Other would be Pain of Salvation's "Enter Rain". No classic prog here!
But another studio album is my favourite option.. come on Peter!

Napalm Death - You Suffer.
From side-long suites and double-LP concept albums to a song that lasts a second... |

LOL. I like that almost as much as the Neil Young suggestions, but I'm sure he'd never try to compete with Johnny.

I wonder how he would cover "My name is Mud" by Primus. I'd like to see Tony Levin play the basslines.

People, I think you missed the point. You all list well know songs from well known bands/artists whilst:
" 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.”

ok, i agree, then i´m feel free to suggest to Mr. Gabriel to get anOBSCURE SONG by TAKO, or INDEXI ,or even EKV; i mean, not one of worldwide popular songs by these bands
for covering that.btw, some suggest from Poland prog bands, i mean, from that golden decade, ´70s ? Edited by zicIy - June 10 2008 at 16:08 |
