Best Peter Gabriel Songs

The Top Ten
1 Solsbury Hill

Solsbury Hill is the best song ever sang by Peter Gabriel.
Should be number 1 all the way!

This is one of the greatest songs of all time! Should for sure be number 1!

Should defiantly be number 1 for his solo songs.

Agreed. Amazing. Song is just amazing

2 Games Without Frontiers

Wildly creative, seemingly out of nowhere given that it sounds like no song he created prior. This is the song - and by extension the album - that he intuitively knew he had in him when he left Genesis and would not be able to birth while with Genesis. His first two solo albums were really exercises in shedding Genesis...

The intro fits perfectly with the Globglogabgalab song.
But still a great song.

Way ahead of its time.

3 In Your Eyes

In My Top 100 songs of all time.

4 Sledgehammer

The best song of all time #1 in my book!

5 Don't Give Up

One of the song, that returns me to normal life, when everything falls on me and I can't go futher.

6 Lay Your Hands On Me
7 Sky Blue

Should have been the first single from the Up album. Truly beautiful song.

8 San Jacinto
9 Here Comes the Flood

By far one of the most under-rated songs of all time - original album version was good... but version from "Shaking the Tree: 16 Golden Greats", utterly brilliant. So simple, serene, yet also deep, powerful, just amazing.

Extremely emotional and meaningful. It's a strong ending to the car album and one of those stand out songs. Just BEAUTIFUL.

10 Digging in the Dirt
The Contenders
11 Blood of Eden
12 Big Time
13 Red Rain

Masterpiece. Great lyrics. Check out Natalie Merchants version on YouTube

14 Shock the Monkey
15 Time of the Turning
16 Mercy Street

One of those songs that comes back to haunt me every now and then, but in the best way. Beautiful, melancholy, and strangely heartwarming? How a song like this can be on the same album as Sledgehammer, demonstrates Gabriel's genius

17 Biko
18 Wallflower

This my pick for the most underrated Peter Gabriel song of all time. Imagine if the best elements of "Biko" and "Don't Give Up" were combined in one song. "Wallflower" would be the result. It has some of the most powerful lyrics in Peter Gabriel's entire career, and the music matches the tone perfectly.

19 Steam
20 Burn You Up, Burn You Down
21 Moribund the Burgermeister
22 Family Snapshot

How is not already on here?!?! It's a terrific song!

A great song should easily be in the top ten!
