Hawk Rock Talk Classic: Genesis

Hawk Rock Talk Classic: GenesisHawk Rock Summer continues on and this week we feature a Hawk Rock Talk Classic. Originally released October 21, 2022, it’s Hawk Rock Talk: GENESIS!Jason Gore and Geoff “The Real Person” Garlock go deep into the long, strange and surprisingly emotional history of Geoff’s favorite band: Genesis.And Genesis is not just one band. It is several completely different bands occupying the same school uniform.There is the strange British progressive-rock Genesis fronted by Peter Gabriel. There is the transitional version with Steve Hackett and Phil Collins. There is the three-man Genesis that filled arenas, dominated MTV and provided the soundtrack to Saturday mornings in the Gore household. Then there is Calling All Stations, which also technically happened.Jason and Geoff work through the albums, explain why recommending Genesis requires a psychological evaluation of the listener and attempt to determine how a band that once wrote “Supper’s Ready” eventually became one of the biggest pop groups on Earth.Plus: Phil Collins reluctantly becomes the singer, Peter Gabriel dresses like a flower without warning anyone, Tony Banks remains the irritated backbone of the operation, “Illegal Alien” is launched into space and Jason accidentally begins climbing up on Salisbury Steak.Support 108.9 The HawkListen to more Hawk Rock Talk and every episode of 108.9 The Hawk at 1089thehawk.com.Support the station at patreon.com/1089thehawk.108.9 The Hawk Series Seven premieres on August 17th!
