No matter how celebrated or remarkable a musician might be, there’s that one album in their discography that missed its mark. What stans call the ‘flop.’ But, was their album really as awful as critics and music fans made it out to be? Mike Queroz, “Bop to This Music” podcast host, and Steve Mariani, former wannabe American Top 40 host turned advertising professional, sound off on that very question in Flopography.
