Does anyone really understand what Peter Gabriel was trying to say when he created the concept for Genesis' sixth studio album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway? Seems like a difficult task, but Destin and Drew do their darndest to briefly summarize the bizarre series of events that unfold for the protagonist, Rael, as he journeys through a variety of environments and encounters a myriad of menacing creatures. Regardless of the perplexing plot, the Prog Notes duo agrees this is a fantastic double album and quite the swan song for Peter Gabriel before he left the group shortly after the subsequent tour. It contains some of Genesis' best prog-rock moments in their lengthy career, and Destin and Drew are oh so happy to share them on another segment of Delve It or Shelve It. While the recording and writing of this album may have been fraught with tension amongst the band members, many Genesis fans would agree that the result was an absolute musical masterpiece and a must-listen for any prog rock fan.
**Prog Notes is a podcast dedicated to the genre of progressive rock.

With each new episode, these two childhood friends encourage more people to investigate this unique, sometimes forgotten genre of music and find an album or band they can enjoy.
