On this week's episode, we explore the 1973 LP by one of progressive rock’s most interesting (and entertaining) bands, Selling England by the Pound by Genesis.

Considered by many to be the best album of the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis, it is definitely the most accessible, and even gave the band their first Top 40 single int he UK with “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) which peaked just shy of the Top 20.
The overall theme of the album laments the Americanization and commercialization of English culture. The songs are full of vivid imagery, played by outstanding musicians, and sung by one of the best voices in rock. A thing that sets Genesis apart from other progressive rock bands of the time is their ability to make complex music that is not showy. Gabriel’s vocals adds a level of soul that is absent from other bands of the genre. All of this makes for a compelling listen, and puts Selling England by the Pound up there with the greatest progressive rock albums ever released.
