This is "Solsbury Hill" vs "Here Comes the Flood" vs "Games Without Frontiers" for me, although only the Exposure version of "Flood" would really be a contender. If we're counting songs on Peter Gabriel albums, that one drops out.

In the end, there was no question. Sorry, "Solsbury Hill".

All for most of So, but "Biko" and "The Rhythm of the Heat" are working on a whole other scale of ambition.

San Jacinto. I hate to be THAT guy (actually that's not true, I love being THAT guy) but what is the problem with the Rolling Stone readership? Haven't they heard Family Snapshot? And Through The Wire? Moribund the friggin Burgermeister?

Voted San Jacinto, the Stairway To Heaven of dying Native American songs.

Fascinating!

I was one of the two for 'Monkey.'

― Austin, Thursday, 12 November 2015 00:20 (ten years ago)

I was the other, it still gives me a thrill. A truly bizarre top 40 hit.

― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 12 November 2015 03:18 (ten years ago)

I really like "Monkey". It would have been next on my list (out of the songs listed here).

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 12 November 2015 03:31 (ten years ago)

damn only one vote for "Biko"
