He's far from underrated. He just chooses when he wants to release an album sometimes it takes 10 years between albums and like with his last album full studio length album 21 years. And when you go away for long periods of time people tend to forget.
In that case, Zappa is the real underrated. This video is most known that Inca Roads (1974). O sea, Zappa lo hizo más de 10 años atrás, y con una composición muchísimo mejor, y este es el video que la gente reconoce, una copia pobre.
Not only is this a great song it's also immaculately recorded. When I installed a custom stereo system in my car this was the song I used to test and tune it. Listening to Sledgehammer with 750 watts driving four mids, four tweeters and a sub at 90+dB is an experience. Play this song LOUD. Trust me.
From the same time period..."Shock The Monkey", or "Games Without Frontiers". As others have already suggested, "In Your Eyes"...the live version, with Paula Cole in his backup band. Or go back the other way on the timeline and listen to some of his work with Genesis, like "Carpet Crawlers" or "Watcher Of The Skies". Peter Gabriel is vastly unrecognized and underrated in the US.
This video got so much airtime on MTV, back in the day, that even Peter Gabriel called them up to beg them to stop playing it so much. Twice an hour or more, it seemed like. They burned everyone out on it. He always had a voice that I loved to sing along with. 'In Your Eyes' may be his best work. 'Don't Give Up' features a duet with Kate Bush. Peter Gabriel was also a founding member of Genesis, back in their early Prog rock days. He left them in the mid 70's. If you want some vintage Prog music, try 'Supper's Ready', 'Firth of Fifth', 'Cinema Show'.
In case it wasn't already mentioned, the video was made up with over 750,000 photos which was shot in stop motion. In fact sections of the videos are actual claymation.
I think that you should react to Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush’s duet “Don’t Give Up “ whilst the video can feel a little awkward with the worlds longest hug The tenderness and empathy and love and genuine emotion in both Peter and Kate’s voices in this song are extremely touching. The song is based on the great depression of the 1930s which was a very sad time in world history and many men lost everything. They owned often taking their own lives for feeling like failures to their families. If only they all had wives like the one Kate Bush portrays in this music video I think so. Many men would have lived happily being poor.
You'd probably recognize In Your Eyes and maybe Solsbury Hill. Seen a few reactions to Don't Give Up, lately, too, and I have to say, while the studio version with Kate Bush is amazing, I feel like the live version with Paula Cole needs more love. Paula sounded like a real life angel in that performance.
GREAT reactions Rachel!! What do you think you do with a 'sledgehammer'?! You pound things! The video is still all ages...and honestly, a child will never get the sexual undertones of the lyrics (I know I didn't when this came out - I was 8 years old in 1986. Wasn't until a few years later that I understood what 'fruit cage' really was! Ahh, youthful innocence!) This video won awards at the time. As much as Peter Gabriel is a visionary with his music, so he is with his videos! From the same album, I recommend Don't Give Up - it's a slow track, featuring Kate Bush, the video is simplistic (in comparison to this), but perfectly embraces (you'll get that connotation if you watch it) the lyrics of the song! Other PG tracks: Digging In The Dirt, Blood Of Eden, Mercy Street, Red Rain, Games Without Frontiers...so much to discover! Cheers from Canada, eh!!
1986 - Great year for Genesis fans! Peter Gabriel on the charts, Phil Collins on the charts, Mike Rutherford on the charts, Steve Hackett on the charts, Tony Banks (Quicksilver soundtrack) on the charts, Genesis on the charts. Good times.
Written by Peter Gabriel. He quit Genesis and started a solo career. He was influenced by the late Otis Redding. Gabriel hired the late Wayne Jackson, who played trumpet 🎺 for Redding. The late Eddie van Halen liked 👍 the songs in the album So. In concert for the album So, Paula Cole was 1 of the background singers. After this tour, she quit and started a solo career. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Peter Gabriel and Paula Cole sing In Your Eyes live 2 Phil Collins and Philip Bailey sing Easy Lover. 3 Genesis performs Invisible Touch.
I remember seeing this music video as a kid, I didn't care much for the song, but I loved the video and I am pretty sure it is one of the reasons I got really into stop animation.
The song is so good! The mastering on this track was also incredible (and I use it to audition headphones haha), there's just something about what they were doing in the 70's and 80's, until the loudness wars. The stop motion is also amazing, he really had some iconic music videos.
Peter Gabriel has always been one of my favourite all-time male artists with my favourite song being his duet with Kate Bush “Don’t Give Up “ which remains one of my favourite all-time songs to this very day ❤ Statistically though, Sledgehammer had much greater success both here in Australia #3 and The UK #4 & especially in the US #1 😎 But personally, I don’t necessarily think it was just a catchy tune that raised it so high in the charts. I also think it was the unique animation made of fruit in the music video that piqued people‘s interest . I’m not saying this song wasn’t worthy of getting a top 10 chart position. I just believe that the artistry behind music video raised a lot of attention for Peter in general Although many of the younger viewers may think it’s depressing that I clearly remember the day this music video was released in 1986 and I felt that the fruity video left the lasting impression on me. I am now in my 50s and can’t help but the picture Peter Gabriel‘s face made of fruit every time I hear this song. A lot of people don’t realise that prior to Phil Collins taking over vocal duties, Peter Gabriel was once the lead singer in the English progressive rock band Genesis. He left the group in 1975, embarking on a solo career. "Solsbury Hill" was Peter's debut solo single, released in 1977. Surprisingly, "Solsbury Hill" only peaked at number 45 in Australia in July 1977. I say "surprisingly" because the song was still in high rotation on radio during the 1980s. I knew the song for years, aged in single digits, before I knew the song's title or who performed it. That's not something I can say about many singles from 1977 that missed the top 40. "Solsbury Hill" fared much better in Peter's native UK, reaching number 13 there in May 1977. The song was an apt choice to launch Peter's solo career, as its lyrics deal with, in Peter's own words, "being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get... It's about letting go." At this point in time, Peter had placed seven singles on the Australian top 100, with his biggest hits being "Sledgehammer" (number 3, June 1986) and "Don't Give Up" (number 5, April 1987); the latter being a duet with Kate Bush. Both tracks were lifted from Peter's fifth studio album So (number 5, June 1986). Peter also bubbled under with "Red Rain", another single from So, in August 1987, and we last saw him teaming up with Youssou N'Dour in July 1989. "Solsbury Hill" originally appeared on Peter's debut album Peter Gabriel (number 25, June 1977). The single was re-released to promote Peter's greatest hits compilation album Shaking the Tree (Sixteen Golden Greats) (number 41, December 1990). This time around, a music video was made for the song, although Peter does not appear in it.
Back in the 80s, when MTV still aired music videos, they would have these marathon weekends where they’d play like the top 40 videos of the year. I forget when this song came out, because I would have been 4 or 5 or thereabouts. But I remember this was a big video. They used to put so much effort into music videos. And if you watched MTV for an afternoon you’d get exposed to so many great songs and genres you might have never thought to listen to. Pretty much any artist could get exposure if they came up with an interesting video idea. But you could hear this next to Michael Jackson, next to Def Leppard next to the Beastie Boys next to Cyndi Lauper. Fun times. The only down side to being born in the 80s is now I’m a cranky 42 year old with bad knees. Still, fair trade.
It's hard to describe how every new, big video was groundbreaking in the '80s. I don't suggest you listen to this song, but maybe watch the video muted, Will Powers, “Smile” to see what was considered groundbreaking CGI in 1983. Check out The Cars, "You might Think" to see groundbreaking in 1984 (it was the first video added to the Museum of Modern Art). The band A-Ha's video for "Take On Me" was a mix of hand-drawn animation and live action in 1985. And then Peter Gabriel's stop-motion with a live person "Sledgehammer" in 1986 where each second of video took 25 still images - his face turning blue and the cloud passing across it was makeup being done and re-done for each shot. MTV was so exciting back then!
Funny you mention that you would have liked the video as a kid. Aardman Animations studios made the video. They are the ones who did all those Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit films.
Reaction suggestions: The two music videos that most made me wonder what in the world I was looking at were "Mr. Krinkle" by Primus and "Human Behaviour" by Bjork. "Mr. Krinkle" left me dumbfounded. With "Human Behaviour," the video matches the uniqueness of the song itself.
the song big time is much better than any of the typical suggestions youll get below.. cept maybe that guy down there saying shock the monkey, thats pretty good too
This video and song is not “wholesome”. Although the meaning is not all that obvious. The successor, “Steam”, is much more direct. But also a fantastic sound and fantastic video.
Q: Who is Peter Gabriel? A: Welcome to planet earth we hope you enjoy your stay. (Recommendation below....) Try Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers. You can thank me later............
He was the second artist to use stopmotion on himself: David Byrne was the first in the Talking Heads-song Road To Nowhere. Peter Gabriel has stolen his ideas more than once: Compare the David Byrne-video for She's Mad and the Peter Gabriel-video for Steam.
@@jack-of-all-trades1234 You don't have to be 40+ years old to know who people are from days gone by. That is just an ignorant argument for people who take no interest in stuff from the past.

Literally the most played video on MTV. Holds the official record.
Peter Gabriel really is an underrated artist, the creative depth Gabriel has...well worth a deep dive into his backlog of songs
Peter is underrated? I don’t think so. He’s one of the most respected musicians I can imagine.
He's far from underrated. He just chooses when he wants to release an album sometimes it takes 10 years between albums and like with his last album full studio length album 21 years. And when you go away for long periods of time people tend to forget.
In that case, Zappa is the real underrated. This video is most known that Inca Roads (1974). O sea, Zappa lo hizo más de 10 años atrás, y con una composición muchísimo mejor, y este es el video que la gente reconoce, una copia pobre.
“In your eyes” “Solsbury Hill” “Big Time” are other hits you should check out.
The point of realization is enough to watch your reaction!
Not only is this a great song it's also immaculately recorded. When I installed a custom stereo system in my car this was the song I used to test and tune it. Listening to Sledgehammer with 750 watts driving four mids, four tweeters and a sub at 90+dB is an experience. Play this song LOUD. Trust me.
He was in the group Genesis in their early days. Good reaction

Played so, so so much, I swear I’m still burnt on it.
In Your Eyes live "Secret World" tour is a classic reacter video, everybody loves it cos it's joyous, feel good marvelousness.
In case it wasn't already mentioned, the video was made up with over 750,000 photos which was shot in stop motion. In fact sections of the videos are actual claymation.
I think that you should react to Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush’s duet “Don’t Give Up “ whilst the video can feel a little awkward with the worlds longest hug The tenderness and empathy and love and genuine emotion in both Peter and Kate’s voices in this song are extremely touching. The song is based on the great depression of the 1930s which was a very sad time in world history and many men lost everything. They owned often taking their own lives for feeling like failures to their families. If only they all had wives like the one Kate Bush portrays in this music video I think so. Many men would have lived happily being poor.
Peter Gabriel, genius, musically, lyrically and theatrically.
You'd probably recognize In Your Eyes and maybe Solsbury Hill. Seen a few reactions to Don't Give Up, lately, too, and I have to say, while the studio version with Kate Bush is amazing, I feel like the live version with Paula Cole needs more love.

Paula Cole live 💯
Peter's Solsbury Hill is the greatest brake up song ever.
His duet with Kate Bush "Don't give up" is exquisite.
Exactly.
GREAT reactions Rachel!! What do you think you do with a 'sledgehammer'?! You pound things! The video is still all ages...and honestly, a child will never get the sexual undertones of the lyrics (I know I didn't when this came out - I was 8 years old in 1986.

"You don't know who Peter Gabriel is?!" *yelling progressively* 🎶🎵
The great song became a number one hit in the United States and Canada and was also a worldwide hit at the time.
Written by Peter Gabriel. He quit Genesis and started a solo career.
He was influenced by the late Otis Redding. Gabriel hired the late Wayne Jackson, who played trumpet 🎺 for Redding.

The sudden realization lol
How can a singer not know Peter Gabriel?!
this videos are FAKES.... jajaja the youtubers they pretend it ....
@@antoniocarlin5026 get over yourself
It's funny watch somebody reacting for the 1st time that I've heard 1000s of times. I'm currently into BAND-MAID.
You make me laugh so much. One of the greatest music videos of all time. It took weeks to make Love Peter Cheers.
Peter Gabriel was drummer and lead singer in Genesis in the 70's before he left and Phil Collins took over the lead.
In his solo work he plays keyboards for his compositions.
Probably the most iconic 80's Mtv era video ever made. Even Peter himself struggled to make an appropriate follow up with "Steam".
The song is so good! The mastering on this track was also incredible (and I use it to audition headphones haha), there's just something about what they were doing in the 70's and 80's, until the loudness wars. The stop motion is also amazing, he really had some iconic music videos.
Fun fact: this is Ozzy Osbourne's favorite music video and song
Sledgehammer takes on a whole new meaning once the pieces fall into place. haha
I was 11 when this song/video came out and I LOVED watching this music video! (that and Land of Confusion lol)
Animation from Aardman Animation. If you are not familiar, they are known for their Wallace & Gromit animated fiilms.
Haha!! You don't have to "explain" every lyric to the kids! It sure is fun to watch!

When I was a kid, I thought it was just about a sledgehammer. So they'll be fine.

the live version of IN YOUR EYES and DON T GIVE UP w/ KATE BUSH - that is all
Oh, was this a big song!!!!!!
I think one of the best progressive albums I've ever heard was OVO by Peter Gabriel. Not very well known but still astoundingly good.
This song and music video leaves nothing for the imagination 💭 😅
And here I was thinking the beginning with the sperm was the giveaway😂
Ask your audience: If they prefer you to speak over the song or to cut every so often and speak and at the end give your impression
Great Peter
there's also a Harry Styles version, worth checking out, if not for a reaction, just for yourself
This was considered a pretty innovative video at the time, although it may seemed old fashioned now.

Another song purely about sex on which Peter Gabriel sang that would be worth a reaction is Counting Out Time by Genesis.
The whole song, every lyric, was innuendo about sex.
Tony Levin on bass.

The only Peter Gabriel song i can listen to. I find his era in Genesis too weird, they were only good when phil took over
Please, react to Peter Gabriel - Here Comes The Flood.
😊
Don’t watch this video on mushrooms
Now watch the Sledge Hammer TV show. (No relation)
You have to be from the 80s to get the meaning of the song
It a dirty song
