  • Ooh, very tough for me to pick 3. I almost chose the same 3 as the first person who voted, but went with I Grieve instead of Darkness.


    I love this album, it's so richly textured and even. It's my favorite PG album.

  • That’s Sky Blue, I grieve and ... Barry Williams show.

    I know BWS ja not that popular but I always liked that track. :)

    I think the video for BWS gives it a bad rap, (it is kind of a bad video), but Gabriel always had a flair for the weird and creepy, which I love about his music.

  • This was actually pretty hard. I went with Sky Blue, Signal to Noise, and I Grieve. Though I'll say I like the film soundtrack version of I Grieve better than the album version myself.


    The first 5 songs on this album are brilliantly placed one after the other, I could have picked any of them really. And Signal To Noise gets better every time I hear it, even 20 years later.

  • My definite version of Signal to Noise is this one



    it has the guitars I always liked (see also The first performance of that track in 1996), and it has the whole drama ...

    Wonderful

    cheers

  • My top 3 are the top 3 after 10 votes. Sky Blue, I Grieve and Signal to Noise. Phenomenal tunes. But, looking down the list to the bottom, they're all great - and no song has zero votes.

  • Tough one for me this one. As a PG nut from about about 82 onwards, this is the first album of his that disappointed me on some level.


    I don't think it's a bad album by any means, how could it be. But I don't play it much, and that tells me something.


    Darkness

    My Head

    Barry Williams

  • For me, Burn You Up Burn You Down is missing on UP

    It was part of the first promo CD and that fitted well. It was a mistake to save it for a later release

    cheers

    I agree. It would have been my second-favourite song (after I Grieve) and would have made Up an even more powerful album.

    If I had to pull a song to make it fit, I could have gone without Barry Williams.

  • Interesting to see that both, I Grieve and Sky Blue are currently on top of this poll!


    Always thought Darkness was far more pupular.

    cheers

  • Sky Blue, for me, has always been the inferior version of the instrumental track Cloudless (I think that's what it was called) from Long Walk Home / Rabbit Proof Fence.
