Set List Reader's Choice

In this edition of Set List Reader's Choice, your top favorite is:

Guess the Artist

The answer was Peter Gabriel based on his song, "Steam," from the album, Us.

Peter Gabriel was not always praised for upbeat tunes.  For some time, he was let down by critics for what can only be considered depressing.

For example, "Don't Give Up"  and "Mercy Street" are hopeful songs but are rather down in tone with emphasis on flat notes.

"Don't Give Up" is from Peter Gabriel's fifth album, So, released in May 1986.
