Peter Gabriel has always been a chameleon.
And he seemed to be almost too creative for his former Genesis band mates.
Unpopular opinion: this is PG's best video.
Released in 1982 during the early days of MTV, the video for "Shock the Monkey" was far ahead of its contemporaries.
The lyrics explore the theme of jealousy in humans, explaining the primal symbolism throughout the clip.
And those moving robotic lamps looked pretty cool back in the day.
