Say Anything

For my ninety-first pick I play the one artist that makes me think of boomboxes, trench coats and love.

Artist - Peter Gabriel
Album - So
Released - 1986
Label - Geffen
Genre - Pop Rock

Tracks:
Red Rain
Sledgehammer
Don't Give Up
That Voice Again
In Your Eyes
Mercy Street
Big Time
We Do What We're Told

The fifth studio album by Peter Gabriel, So is the album that put him on top.  Also, let's not forget of a little movie called Say Anything... which John Cusack made the infamous move of standing outside the window of a girl he liked, holding a boombox playing In Your Eyes that made for the perfect scene.  Growing up in the 80's exposed me to such great movies and music.  They don't make them like they used to, but I'm sure everybody says that about their generation.  I'm just glad I'm not growing up now.  Other great songs on this record are Sledgehammer and Big Time.  The eccentric sound that accompanies Peter Gabriel's voice is wonderful.  Definitely a great album of the 80's, hands down!

Enjoy!
