Our 44th cool album is "So," Peter Gabriel's fifth solo album. Released in 1986, this record made Gabriel a worldwide superstar. It is also a really good album.
We close out this cool album with the final two tracks, both of which demonstrate Gabriel's affinity for experimentation. Track 8, "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37) is a classic moody Gabriel (mostly) instrumental inspired by Stanley Milgram's psychological experiments of the 1950s. In the original vinyl release, this was the closing track.
But when the CD and cassette versions of the album were released shortly thereafter, they included a ninth bonus track -- "This is the Picture (Excellent Birds)" -- a collaboration between Gabriel and performance artist Laurie Anderson. Anderson's version was released on her 1984 album Mister Heartbreak (another cool album that we'll get to eventually). We recommend listening to both versions to compare and contrast different artists' visions of the same song.
