Also, I strongly recommend listening to this episode of the Strong Songs podcast about this song. If you're not aware of Strong Songs, it's Kirk Hamilton (formerly of Kotaku) breaking down great songs and talking about what makes them tick. He's got such an infectious love of music and a joyful way of talking about it that permeates the whole podcast, it's truly one of my favorite shows that I've discovered in the last couple of years. You should absolutely give it a listen!
This is like, possibly the best song of all time. Try to name a better one!
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
If we're doing Gabriel I'd have to add Salisbury Hill
For your consideration: Jim's Big Ego - Stress
