Phil Collins – Sussudio

 

Peter Gabriel’s entire So album would be epic, but I don’t know how some of that would translate to full band, like Mercy Street or Milgram’s 37.

Mentioning these two artists made me realize…GENESIS!

 

Riding the Scree

(seriously, I would LOVE to play this one on drums)

and

The Colony of Slippermen

come to mind. Lots of great proggy drums, weird keys and strings, and Peter Gabriel singing with Phil Collins harmonies, yes please! Just don’t tell Richard Hammond.

 

EDIT: I realize neither of these are 80’s, but I thought it relevant enough to warrant a pass ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />
