Episode 39: ‘Selling England By The Pound’ by Genesis (1973)
‘I Know What I Like (In My Prog)’
Concerned with the rise of Americanism in 70s Britain, Genesis would take a line from the Labour party’s manifesto and explore some serious folk and cultural elements in their fifth studio album.
1973’s ‘Selling England By The Pound’ was a very serious contender, musically, in the Prog/Hard Rock categories, but also continued the whimsical theatrics and drama from several of their previous instalments - combining both elements to create one of Genesis’ most revered and successful Prog albums.
