In 2010 Peter Gabriel recorded an album entitled Scratch My Back.
It consisted of gorgeous cover versions of songs by artists that he admires, including Lou Reed, Bon Iver, Regina Spektor, Radiohead, David Bowie, Talking Heads and Arcade Fire.
Many of these same artists have returned the favor by recording his songs on the album And I’ll Scratch Yours.
Listen here to Peter Gabriel’s version of Arcades Fires’ “My Body is a Cage” and then Arcades Fire performing Gabriel’s “Games Without Frontiers”.
