I adore PG but I find this song grates on my nerves and then it gets stuck in my head. An immediate mute button leap

This song has that lasting effect. Not sure it's a good one either. There are so many PG tunes I like far better than this. |

Interesting.... the concept of the song, to represent the boy's perspective is great. Unfortunatly, the result is dark. I think the strings communicate the tension quite well. ...a little deep for most people. |

I think PG is a genius, but I do not care for this song

...fairly loyal Gabriel fan - but I find reading about how late Rihanna was for her concert last night much more interesting than this song...

Ditto. This doesn't have the tension of the TH version

While I am a huge Gabriel fan, I will stick with the Talking Heads on this one....

Starts well, but somehow gets stale quickly It's Peter Whiner Gabriel. Of course it gets stale. |

I prefer this to the original. It is more melancholy and listenable so I think it gets the point across better.

Go and listen to the version of Street Spirit from Radiohead in this album. He dilapidated the original song!

I love a good cover ... and a good string section. Bonus points for both at once.

??????????????????????? Eggactly!!! Most of the inductees are there due popularity. Why else is Madonna, Buns and Noses, and the Leastie Boys there before PG, Deep Purple and others. Sorry to pick out those three as examples, I'm just sayin'. |
