Yeah, Peter Gabriel sings on one song on "Reconciled," the Call's new album, Jim Kerr, the lead singer for Simple Minds, sings on two songs, including the one Gabriel sings on. Michael Been of The Call sung on Simple Minds' last album, as well. For those of you who have to talk about how horrible Simple Minds is based on hearing "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and "Alive and Kicking," you need to get educated. Their early music was fantastic, and their last three albums, although a major change in style, are great as well. In fact, "New Gold Dream ('81-'82-'83-'84)" is my favorite Simple Minds album ever. You've probably heard "Promised You a Miricle" from that album. Well, the rest of the album is nothing like that, not that PYaM is such a bad song itself.
