Unfortunately, in modern times people more more have accepted and got too accustomed to mediocrity and lack of originality, it is almost an expectation now. I am a musician and when I learn songs from pre-early 2000's back to the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and on, there was so much variety and creativity and talent. Now one can learn 4 chords and know about 90% of the music today. Same chords, same progressions, same generic melodies, same boring song structures, the only difference between songs is the key it is in and the type of singing voice.

This video, when it came out, was so groundbreaking. Nobody had seen anything like it, because it was filmed and was basically stop-motion. MTV was like five years old and Peter Gabriel immediately elevated the art of the music video with Sledgehammer. He's still an amazing performer and creator. He's just amazing.

I would come home from school in 8th grade, turn on MTV and it would stay on all evening until I went to bed. The 5 VJ's were like friends.

I tlked to Peter about this video one day, he told me that his part took a whole week to do and he hat to get a seperate phone line installed in his office just answer calls aon who made the video! He is a really nice guy, the compasny I worked for designed his studio at Ford, near Bath in Somerset. The girls in the office would ask him for autographs and he would spend time chatting to anybody and everybody in the place. He would just hang around talking until he was due to go and consult with the architects about the design. They made a model of the new studio out of stiff card and you could lift of the roof and look inside to the details. He was in his VW Golf GTI waiting to turn onto the main road the day I talked to him about this video, he didn't bother moving until we had concluded the converstaion and then he said goodbye and we went our seperate ways. Nice guy. I knew the Ardmans studio in Bristol and watched them doing the Wallace and Gromit movie, an intensive, time consuming art. They did this video.

‘Solsbury Hill’ was his first solo hit, and is loosely about his frame of mind leading up to leaving Genesis. Watch the video of it on his channel that is cut together from films of him playing it in concert over a span of 40 years... it’s 4 minutes of sheer joy. And the bass player (Tony Levin, a musical genius in his own right) doesn’t appear to age a day. Another great one, though PG didn’t write it, is “The Book of Love.” Deeply profound lyrics.

Peter Gabriel is incredible in all his work over the years, lyrically and musically. His performances are powerful, often sharing the stage with singers and musicians from around the world (see his Secret World Live tour, particularly In Your Eyes performance). Peter was a big fan of Nick Park and Aardman Animations, a British animation studio that did, among MANY other things, the Wallace and Grommet series, and he joined with them to create this amazing video. Look up how they created this video; it's even more mind-boggling than you think. And it won a ton of awards.

Great song, one of the most iconic songs not just of the 80’s but in pop music history. I would like to add that when people say they don’t make music like this anymore, you have to remember we’re listening to the best of the best. There was plenty of crap made back in the day as well (and that applies to whenever “back in the day” is for you). And so in another couple of decades we’ll be listening to the top, massive, hits of today and saying the same thing (“Uptown Funk”, anyone?). There’ll always be great music. Thanks, Jamal, for bringing the older stuff back for those of us who remember when it was new and for those of you for whom it’s new now.
