Today, Peter Gabriel is celebrating his 60th birthday.
Congratulations! He gives himself a new album called Scratch My Back, on which only cover versions (including Lou Reed, Radiohead, David Bowie, Talking Heads, etc.) are. In the 2nd Part of this English proverb (I’ll Scratch Yours) various musicians will cover Peter Gabriel songs. My (very) personal top-ten-Peter-Gabriel-songs-without-Genesis are:

1. Mercy Street Album: So
2. Solsbury Hill Album: 1
3. Red Rain Album: So
4. I Have The Touch Album: 4
5. I Grieve Album: Up
