Episode 66 | Guinness World Records: Classic Rock Entries May 30, 2020

Show notes

We’re talking about records in this episode but not the vinyl kind, the Guinness Book kind. This one is all about classic rock artists who have earned a place in The Guinness World Records.
Artists in this episode include The Beatles (including Paul McCartney solo), Santana, Elton John, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, KISS, AC/DC, The Who, Deep Purple, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits & David Bowie.
You'll hear some artists and bands that aren’t necessarily classic rock but either they were just too interesting to leave out or they come from a category where like me you figured it would have been a classic rock band or artist who would have held the record but surprisingly didn’t.
Here's a rundown of the categories covered:
Albums
Awards
Bands
Concerts
Fans
Instruments
Singles
Videos

Pretty much every Rolling Stones fan will tell you that their greatest period came between the years 1968 and 1972.

Episode 64 | Bob Dylan 'Blonde on Blonde' May 16, 2020

Show notes

This episode of DISCovery is all about rock’s first great double album – Bob Dylan’s ‘Blonde on Blonde’ from 1966. In fact, it’s the first double album ever released.
This album came at what was Bob Dylan’s creative peak. As he told Rolling Stone in 1969, “I was going at a tremendous speed at the time of my ‘Blonde on Blonde’ album. The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind.” He described it as having “that thin, wild, mercury sound.”
Rolling Stone described 'Blonde on Blonde' as a chain-lightning mix of rock & roll, novelty music, surrealist ballads, Chicago blues and psychedelic country with peels of lyrical invention and epic song lengths.
We’ll get into the 14 classic tracks (listed below), the meaning behind the album title and the story behind the iconic cover photo. Plus, hear clips from Dylan’s legendary press conference held in December of 1965 in San Francisco.
SIDE ONE:
1. "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"
2. "Pledging My Time"
3. "Visions of Johanna"
4. "One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)"
SIDE TWO:
1. "I Want You"
2. "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again"
3. "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat"

2. "Temporary Like Achilles"
3. "Absolutely Sweet Marie"
4. "4th Time Around"
5. "Obviously 5 Believers"
