Only sixteen greats?

Review Score: (10/10)
I love this album. But then again, I love every album by Peter Gabriel. It is unfortunate that "In Your Eyes" wasn't included, but the rest makes up for it. I could be wrong, but I'm assuming that "In Your Eyes" wasn't included because it wasn't considered a released hit. What I mean is that it was just another song off of the So album. And when the movie Say Anything was released a few years later, it became popular. Well, because its not included on this album, those who aren't hard core fans, but love the song will go out and buy the So album. And then they can experience more of his brilliance. Therefore, I recommend not only this album, but every album he's created.
