Welcome to Mild Mannered Supermen. A tribute to Prog Rock and the early days of Genesis. We'll feature songs from the Peter Gabriel era from a fan's perspective with a twist...Listen as our professional musician host breaks down the intricate details of the songs that kicked off the careers of some of the most famous names in 80s and 90s pop; Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks and Steve Hackett.
In this episode of Mild Mannered Supermen, we unleash “The Return of the Giant Hogweed” — Genesis's wild, witty, and apocalyptic prog-rock epic from Nursery Cryme (1971). Inspired by a real-life invasive plant from Russia, this overgrown masterpiece blends absurd humor, ecological warning, and musical virtuosity into one of the band's most ambitious early works.
We explore how Peter Gabriel's surreal storytelling and Tony Banks's furious keyboards helped Genesis evolve from pastoral beginnings into full-blown theatrical rock. From Steve Hackett's blistering guitar work to Phil Collins's precise drumming, The Return of the Giant Hogweed is both a cautionary tale and a showcase of a band discovering its power.
Join Mild Mannered Supermen as we trace the roots of Genesis's strangest creation — a song that's equal parts satire, sci-fi, and symphonic brilliance.
