Peter Gabriel - ”So”

Pod Like a Hole

In 1986, an ex-prog rocker introduced himself to the pop landscape and blew the doors right off. Peter Gabriel, the suave art-rocker who was equal parts world music advocate, equal parts horndog-with-a-heart-of-gold, made an album so catchy, so honest, so unique that it captured the imaginations of music snobs and normies alike. That album was "So", and your Pod Like a Steam hosts are here to evaluate it, Sledgehammer-by-sledgehammer, hit by hit.

Play along at home, give this seminal record a spin, and join Marc, Eric and Steve as they spend a little time celebrating Peter's discography, time with the band Genesis, and score work before diving in to "So". It'll be a good time. You might get a little hot and bothered, but who could blame ya.

Also- Pod Like a Hole studios apparently is still infested by frogs ever since the Tool episode. Our apologies we are working on that.
