The Light the Sky Podcast trades the sunglasses and smiles of Huey Lewis for shoulder pads and synth stabs as we dive into Phil Collins’ 1985 blockbuster No Jacket Required. This week, the gang shares how each of us grew up surrounded by Phil’s music — from solo hits to his time behind the Genesis drum kit — and why this album still resonates today. With all four of us giving it a 9 or higher, we explore the emotional punch of ‘Inside Out,’ the infectious energy of ‘Sussudio,’ and the surprising Miami Vice cameo of ‘Long Long Way to Go.’ We also dig into Phil’s production partnership with Hugh Padgham, and speculate: is this the peak of 80s solo pop? And how does it stack up against Peter Gabriel’s So, which might just be our next stop as we settle the debate on which Genesis frontman had the better solo run. As always, we break it down track-by-track and finish with our signature Love It or Flush It segment. The 80s Summer Tour continues — come along for the ride.
