Thirty Years Young: Peter Gabriel – So

Peter Gabriel - So

DavidPeter Gabriel’s So is his fifth studio album and was released on 19 May 1986 by Charisma Records. That makes it thirty years young! It was his first album to be called something other than Peter Gabriel, although a two letter name is hardly pushing the boat out. It remains his most successful album to date and it is not hard to see why: it is packed with intelligent but accessible songs. But I suspect that its success is in no small part thanks to the video for “Sledgehammer” which was produced by Aardman Animations. A retrospective review of So may follow… but in the meantime, enjoy the “Sledgehammer” video in all its plasticine glory:
