Friends make a pact to listen and discuss 1001 of the best albums in a basement tiki bar

Latest Episodes:

299 Isley Brothers - 3+3 Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Known brothers named Isely and varied cousins, Isely Brothers bring the thunder with their 11th album.

Blood harmonies, blood bass, a 17 year old guitar prodigy; suffice it to say, this album cooks.

Rob, Ben, Birch, and Jon talk 3 + 3

298 Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power Dec 10, 2020

This album absolutely shreds and we feel sorry for you if you disagree.

Bowie mix < > Iggy mix

Let’s talk Iggy and The Stooges, Raw Power!

297 Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

Hello! Hooray! It’s good to hear more, better Alice Copper being represented in this book!

296 The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Next Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

WHAAAAAA?! The crew finds out about a brand new (to them) glam rock band, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band!

The book delivers a very happy surprise and most of us are here for it.

Birch, Solange, Ben, Jon, and Rob discuss

295 Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

In the summer of 73, known vegetarian and former professional bassist, Paul McCartney and wife Linda (henceforth known as McCartney²) booked studio time in Lagos, Nigeria for the recording of Wings’ third album.

Mere days before recording was to take place, both the drummer and guitarist yelled “Wings suuuuuccckkks” and quit the band. With no time to hire new lackeys, McCartney² decided they would do it themselves.

Gather round, children, and hear this tale of woe

Rich people bitching about studio conditions in a war-torn country.

Knife-point robbery of baubles, riches, and the lesser valuable lyrics/demos.

Potential heatstroke.

Ginger Baker playing a can full of gravel on Picasso’s Last Words (Drink To Me).

And so much more…

Jon, Ben, Solange, Rob & Birch discuss McCartney’s best output since The Beatles imploded.

294 ZZ Top - Tres Hombres Nov 26, 2020

Show notes

Tres Hombres is the third record from ZZ Top (the longest running rock n roll act of all time).

It may lack in Legs and cheap sunglasses but still, we found it to be a passable…

Kidding, y’all. This is one of the greatest records of all time!

Come for the amazing tunes, stay for the gatefold

There is an amazing documentary that came about them you should check out too.

annnnnd since we are link crazy today and refuse to stop talking about them, go check out The Coke Dares

293 Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Stevie Wonder continues (or begins depending on what jerk is talking) what is the greatest back to back run of recordings ever put to wax with, Innervisions.

This album of the year winner has everything; weird whole tone solos, macking on ladies using fake Spanish, a golden lady , and the continually prescient and horribly sad tale of a black man getting framed by dirty cops.

Rob, Birch, Ben, Solange, and Jon discuss.

292 Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

Pink Floyd may have better albums than Dark Side of the Moon, but no other record defines them quite as well as this one.

291 Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

Waylon had always been looking, perhaps unintentionally, for a common ground between country and rock, and Shaver’s songs — sketching an outlaw stance with near defiance, borrowing rock attitude to create the hardest country tunes imaginable

290 Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

Can’t Buy a Thrill became an unexpected hit, and as a response, Donald Fagen became the group’s full-time lead vocalist, and he and Walter Becker acted like Steely Dan was a rock & roll band for the group’s second album, Countdown to Ecstasy.
