44.1 Renjeaux Listens to Red Rain, from Peter Gabriel – So

Our 44th cool album is “So,” Peter Gabriel’s fifth solo album. Released in 1986, this record made Gabriel a worldwide superstar. It is also a really good album.

In this episode, we listen to the kickass opener, “Red Rain.” There are so many awesome things about this track, not least of which is that the first sounds we hear on the album are Stewart Copeland’s intricate hi-hat work.
