80s Throwback: Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer

I decided to pick an artist that Timmy played with in the past for today’s 80s throwback. I was a little slow in discovering Peter Gabriel, and I had never heard of him until I saw his (still) classic video for the song, “Sledgehammer” on MTV. Once I did, I became an instant fan of his music.

Conceptually, the “Sledgehammer” video would have never been made if it followed today’s (boring) standards for music videos; however, this video, like many in the 80s, is a true example of art and creativity. Arguably, it is the best video ever made…even better than “Thriller” by Michael Jackson, in my opinion.
