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.
We open side B of this cool album with the worldwide smash hit, “In Your Eyes.” Gabriel originally meant for this to be the last song on the album, but because of the limitations of vinyl bass response as the needle approaches the center of the record, they decided to make it the side B opener. (In later digital-only releases, it is the last track.) It is a beautiful, spiritually- and emotionally-uplifting song; a love song to both woman and god. And, it was amazing live.
