Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' sets my teeth on edge, unfortunately. Much as I admire the guy's obvious talent, and I like some of his early solo work and the Passion soundtrack, I find his po-faced seriousness and hanging around with Bono and Annie Lennox's bandwagon extremely tedious. I know he's done great things re. global music, but come on Pete. Lighten up a bit. Stick A Flower in your jeans now and again ( see what I did there eh? ;-).
Joking apart, I think The Lamb was his finest hour.
