The David Letterman Show continually features an outstanding line-up of today’s best musicians. Thus it would only be natural to devote an entire online radio station to the music that makes Dave smile.

Listen to the radio station and click through photos of performances from the show. Recently Peter Gabriel performed Live On Letterman with a 46-piece orchestra. The site also features free music downloads from artists like Moby and Wilco.

In a career that now extends for more than four decades, including his time with the band Genesis and his solo career, Peter Gabriel has become known for his politically engaged music that includes a series of, as one collection of his solo work puts it, “hits” and “misses.”  The biggest of those “hits” went to number 1 exactly 25 years ago today, as “Sledgehammer” topped Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart for one week.  The song also became well known for its video, which was named MTV’s number 1 video for 1986 and is featured above.

Peter Gabriel, the successful solo artist and former lead singer of Genesis, turned 60 last week. Tunesmate would like to honor Mr. Gabriel with a game of Sentune. Take five Peter Gabriel song/album titles and make them into a sentence.

So I don’t remember, the lamb lays down on Broadway, Mercy Street, Solsbury Hill?
