I propose calling forth your lists of songs that would help demonstrate Peter Gabriel's masterful singing style--I'm thinking especially of the way that he can so poetically pronounce lyrics--where his diction adds an otherwise musical component to the words, not so much his theatrical man-of-many hats voicings of multiple characters. 

We can stick to ten, or you can just post one.

These are some of the songs that, for me, are made so much better by Peter's amazing diction: 
"The Lamia"
"Dusk"
"The Knife" 
"The Musical Box"
"The Cinema Show"
"Mother of Violence"
"Family Snapshot"
"Lay Your Hands on Me"
"Mercy Street"
"Secret World"

Great topic!! I think Peter Gabriel is a musical genius, there are not many that have done what he has.
