It’s Pod on the Rooftops, a podcast dedicated to the British rock band Genesis! Pod on the Rooftops is a new podcast miniseries that delves into Genesis’s full discography, from 1969 to 1997.
Hosted by three buddies with a mutual love for all things Banks, Collins, Gabriel, Hackett, and Rutherford (and occasionally Phillips and Wilson), this series showcases the varied tastes and flavors of the band over the years…to say nothing of the varied opinions of the hosts.
Episodes involve discussions of all of Genesis’s studio albums, extended plays, and select live albums. For every studio release, each host will select an underrated track, an overrated track (to bring the gods down to earth, of course), a favorite lyric, and a favorite musical moment.
In this fourth episode, Justin Mancini, Luke Franc, and Noah Franc discuss Genesis in the early ‘80s, from 1980 to 1983. They break down hidden gems, overrated tracks, esoteric lyrics, and divine musical moments. Albums from this time period include Duke, Abacab, and Genesis.
If you’re the kind of Genesis devotee who debates the highs and lows of Genesis’s prog excesses and pop sensibilities, this is a podcast for you. Likewise, if you’re totally new to the band and don’t know a Squonk from a Slipperman, we hope this podcast will encourage you to discover the riches that await you in the Genesis canon.
