Today, Peter Gabriel is cele­bra­ting his 60^th birth­day.
Con­gra­tu­la­ti­ons! He gives him­self a new album cal­led Scratch My Back, on which only cover ver­si­ons (inclu­ding Lou Reed, Radio­head, David Bowie, Tal­king Heads, etc.) are. In the 2^nd Part of this English pro­verb (I’ll Scratch Yours) various musi­ci­ans will cover Peter Gabriel songs. My (very) per­so­nal top-ten-Peter-Gabriel-songs-without-Genesis are:

1. Mercy Street Album: So
2. Sols­bury Hill Album: 1
3. Red Rain Album: So
4. I Have The Touch Album: 4
5. I Grieve Album: Up
6. I Don’t Remem­ber Album 3
7. Games Wit­hout Fron­tiers Album 3
8. White Shadow Album: 2
9. This Is The Pic­ture (Excel­lent Birds) Album: So
10. Here Comes The Flood Album: 1
