Song Comparison (inspired by Tiny): Peter Gabriel

Songs sometimes have different versions. There is the original, of course, and if it's wellknown there might be a cover or a remix by other artists. At times, the initial artists decide to re-record the song, trying a new, more modern approach. Or they just record it in another language. Peter Gabriel had a few songs that went through the process of all of the above.

One song I'd like to point out in particular is Here Comes The Flood, one of my alltime favourites (at least one version of it is). And since it's all done by the same artist, it's totally different from what Tiny does! Right?
I found four different versions in my Gabriel collection (and the interwebs). Without further ado, here they are. (...after the jump.)

Original (from Gabriels first solo album) :

Original in German (from the German release of the first solo album, afaik) :


Remake, 80s ballad style (this one actually has quite the Genesis-feel to it...) :


Remake, modern ballad style (bonus track from his 2003 compilation release 'Hit') :



...and as a little bonus, you can click here to see a beautiful live version of the song.


Can you guess my favourite (should be obvious)? What's yours?
