So surprisingly annoying for a PG big fan.

ooohhwwwuueee

I'd like to listen to this with all the lights turned off with just a candle burning in the window. spooky good.

I'm snoring but trying to keep the rhythm while doing so

Bill is playing the version of this song that rocks next, I hope. That would make a nice seque.

Wouldn't be that boring.
But I know what you mean, heard this too in the middle of the song.

Did Peter Gabriel meet Billy Idol before he recorded this version? =)

...still sleeping...

Boooooorrrinnggggg!!!

anything by PG is godlike (with the exception of sledgehammer and big time). Never heard this version, thanks RP

Peter Gabriel couldn't sound more like himself covering . . . him . . . self than this.

The original of this was nothing more than PG lapsing into self-parody.

Radio Peter Gabriel?

I like it as a change of pace. Love the original, but it's fun to hear some variety.

Just me, or does this song a mash-up of Gabriel and Flloyd?

I like a handful of Pete's stuff, but if this is his current approach I'm dreading "In Your Eyes". Heck, I'm dreading that song with or without a remake.

Anyway, this is boring.

Indeed he does.

I think he cares. But I also think there are plenty of other internet radio stations with a somewhat similar playlist that play less Peter Gabriel. I like the mix RP plays. If I didn't, I would go elsewhere.

The music Bill plays is posted by listeners just like you - if you want to hear something you like try uploading.

My other home is in Girdwood...

I think this is the most boring song I have ever heard on Radio Paradise.

It'd be even more awesome if Quiet Steam segued into the the Phil Manzanera band Quiet Sun.

No matter how much you try to pretty it up, this is a suck-ass song.

While glassjawgrlxxx's comment was posted 10 months ago, it still holds true today. I guess Bill doesn't give a crap what we think, he's going to play what he's going to play.

given that it's mostly recent gabriel, I have to agree.
I've been a huge fan of gabriel since genesis but he seems to have lost his way more recently.

let's hear some of his early stuff - pre-so at least.

Steam is my least fave Gabriel tune; this couldn't help but be an improvement. I do like a lot of his other stuff, however.

I kept waiting for it, but it didn't happen! :(

Interesting but it gets tired after one listen.

I will say that one of the reasons I like Gabriel is that he's willing to screw around and experiment with his music so I give him full props for putting out stuff like this.

it would be awseome if Quiet Steam eventually segued into the original Steam...
