I'm going to make a bold and, indeed, radical statement here: Sledgehammer is the best song of the 1980s. Now I know that I'm talking about a golden age of pop music here and there really were many, many amazing songs around, but Sledgehammer has it all. Lets start with the bass - a groovy, sloopy line that keeps the whole thing moving along nicely. On top there's that amazing synth brass part that is unashamed at being synthesised and the flute part played using a preset sound on the Emulator II. Finally, it all came together in the incredible stop motion video. I urge you all (like there's anyone reading this. No comments so far and only 3 followers!) to check out this live version of Sledgehammer. Who knew that Peter Gabriel was sexy?
Of course, the answer to that should rest in this photo.
