Time for Lunch:
In this episode of Mild Mannered Supermen, we take a deep dive into “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe),” one of Genesis's most beloved and accessible songs from the 1973 album Selling England by the Pound.
We explore how this quirky, character-driven track introduced many listeners to Genesis, blending progressive rock complexity with humor, pastoral English imagery, and Peter Gabriel's theatrical storytelling. From the story of Fred the lawnmower man to the song's surprisingly sharp social satire, we unpack what makes “I Know What I Like” such a defining moment in the band's career.
The episode also looks at the song's musical construction, its success as Genesis's first UK hit single, and how it helped bridge the gap between the band's more experimental roots and a wider audience.
Whether you're a longtime Genesis fan or discovering their early work for the first time, this episode offers insight into one of progressive rock's most charming and enduring songs.
