30) "The Mid-Morning Recording"          Peter Gabriel-'So'
His most commercially successful album, but there is a reason for that. Every song on the album is quite strong. Say what you will about "Sledgehammer". When it was new, it was fresh, poppy, and had a groundbreaking music video to match. Most of this album has an accompanying video to match, and maybe that's why it took me so long to play it as a MMR. Many songs from "So" were played a lot on MTV at the time of release, and two or three of its singles have been played over the years rather a lot. However, much like back when it was released, I always drifted towards the album cuts that didn't get played as much. "Mercy Street" and "We Do What We're Told" in particular. These songs were much more atmospheric and looking back, these tracks are where Daniel Lanois' co-production really started to change the sound of popular music for me. (U2 and Bob Dylan would hire him soon after.) Some of the lesser known singles in America like "Don't Give Up" and "That Voice Again" are certainly some of my favorites in the Gabriel catalog. The former would extend my early glimpses into the wonderful world of Kate Bush. Of course "Red Rain" and "In Your Eyes" are "Big Time" hits, but again, there is a reason for that. They are well crafted songs. "So" isn't my personal favorite of Gabriel's albums, but it is certainly an incredibly strong one from beginning to end, including the huge single "Sledgehammer". "Dreaming of Mercy Street. Swear they moved that sign. Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms." - Michael MFL
31) James-"Sayonara"  From the album 'Wah-Wah'.
