80's Summer Tour: Phil Collins "No Jacket Required" (1985) Track by Track Debate
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.

80's Summer Tour: Huey Lewis and the News "Fore!" (1986) Track by Track Debate
The Light the Sky Podcast bounces back from the dark and grimy streets of Skid Row’s Self-Titled and into the sunshine with Huey Lewis and the News’ 1986 album Fore! Join us as we discuss discovering Huey via Back to the Future at a young age, stumbling upon the gem that is the pro-shot Live in Oakland Fore! tour concert, and the fact that Mario Cipollina may be the coolest bassist alive. Do you agree with Patrick Bateman in that Fore! is the more polished, professional album vs. 1983’s Sports? Even though it wasn’t as commercially successful as Sports, is it the stronger, more consistent album front to back? Join Mark, Alex, Chris, and Kevin as the gang debates all of this and more, breaking down the album track by track and wrapping it all up with the classic Light the Sky Love It or Flush It. Don’t miss this stop on the 80’s Summer Tour!
