I'm not doing a list, I only want to ask you... what did you like about Scratch my Back? Peter Gabriel is one of my favourite artists and Red Rain is one of my top 10 songs, but I still can't found a good song in SMB. BTW, I think Gabriel's cover of Street Spirit (Fade Out) is lame . _________________ And If a Double Decker Bus, Crashes into us...
