The 250 List: Volume 8 Feb 02, 2025

Show notes

This week, we once again visit the The 250 List. In Volume 8 we each take a look at 5 more bands that did not quite make a household name for themselves in the 80s and early 90s.

The 250 List is an article written and published in November 2021 by Bobby Caughron from XS-Rock Website containing 250 hard rock and metal bands from the 80s and early 90s that fell short of setting the world on fire, but still had albums worth checking out. With each episode volume we do, Sonny and I will each cover 5 bands from that list to discuss.
