If you like anything here, I highly recommend that you check out these bands and buy their albums, go see their shows, and otherwise hype them up. We will see you next week for the biggest mess of the year.

The music video for "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" won the Best Female Video Award at the inaugural 1984 MTV Video Music Awards and has been recognized by MTV, VH1 and Rolling Stone as one of the greatest music videos of the era.[7][8][9][10] Her second studio album, True Colors (1986), scored two more top-five hits; the title track and "Change of Heart". Lauper's chart success continued with the singles "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" (1985), "I Drove All Night" (1989) and into the 2000s with multiple number one hits on the Hot Dance Club Play charts, "Same Ol' Story,[11] and "Into the Nightlife" (2008).[12]Since 1983, Lauper has released twelve studio albums and participated in many other projects.

Lauper was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2025.[15] Her debut studio album ranked among Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,[16] while "Time After Time" was included in VH1's list of the 100 Best Songs of the Past 25 years.[17] VH1 has ranked Lauper number 58 of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll.[18]PICTURE: By Raph_PH - CyndiLauperRAH260624 (51 of 51), CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=149889497

Carrie Kohan died twice in the early '90s. The first time, as an atheist drowning in guilt and alcohol, she didn't find the light everyone talks about. She found something else entirely—and what happened next transformed her from skeptic to believer.

Are you ever going to text me?This episode is like Mick Jagger and gets no satisfaction.Jason, Jim, and Joseph replay some of the best songs that reference other songs.Joseph presents "The Purge" starring Henry Winkler.Jim claims to have "The most '70s' " family photo ever.Jason pushes the interpretational boundaries (again) by claiming a remake is actually an original song as long as it has a few extra lyrics.Joseph reminisces about him and Jim's bro love over Zima and Tone Loc. Jim's impression of Darius Rucker is impressive, but not as impressive as his impression of Bob Dylan.My Fair Lady, who knew?What song was used for the first season of Happy Days?

Radiohead has begun their first tour in 7 years but we want to talk about something that happened BEFORE it even started. They did their only pre-tour interview with the Times and there is A LOT to discuss. Why has it taken so long for them to get back on the road? Which song did Ed valiantly protect during the OK Computer sessions? Will Thom play in Israel again? Also, some interesting tidbits in the newspile like Radiohead showing up in Rolling Stone's Best Songs of the 21st century, them co-signing an open letter against touts in the UK, another Jonny film score announcement, plus a Creep cover to end all Creep covers (we hope).

Hey there, groove rebels, light one up and crank it loud. In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're blazing through songs about weed. From Willie Nelson's outlaw anthems to Snoop Dogg's chronic classics, the Grateful Dead's tie-dye jams, and Cypress Hill's hazy hits, pot's been music's smoky sidekick for decades. But we're not just name-dropping—we're digging deep into tracks that tell America's weed story as it's gone from counter culture to more mainstream – and legal – form of recreation. Back in the Harlem Renaissance, jazz cats were puffing and playing, turning reefer into rhythm. Then it was counterculture fuel—think ‘60s stoners flipping the bird to the law. Now? It's legal in half the states, and weed's gone mainstream, from dispensaries to playlists. So grab your stash, feel the vibe, and join us as we roll through the tunes that tracked America's high times. Let's spark it!"
