Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1995, the year the O.J. Simpson trial ended with a verdict that split the country in two and Beanie Babies turned into an overnight playground obsession. Don and Dude drop the needle on one arena ready rock record still riding grunge's fading wave and one horn driven pop album born out of a breakup happening inside the band itself, connecting both records to a world of Microsoft rolling out Windows 95, Pixar's Toy Story becoming the first fully computer animated feature film, and Cal Ripken Jr. breaking a fifty six year old baseball record with his 2,131st straight game.The AlbumsCollective Soul – Collective Soul (1995)Ed Roland, a preacher's son from Stockbridge, Georgia, wrote around 35 songs for this self titled follow up to the surprise hit Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid (1993), trimming them to 12 and recording with brother Dean Roland, Ross Childress, Will Turpin and Shane Evans in about five weeks with producer Matt Serletic. Known as the Blue Album, it built melodic hard rock and grunge era guitars around strings and gospel style backing vocals on singles like "December," "The World I Know" and "Where the River Flows," going triple platinum and spending 76 weeks on the Billboard 200.No Doubt – Tragic Kingdom (1995)Formed in Anaheim out of Southern California's ska scene, No Doubt had already survived the death of co-founder John Spence and a commercially disappointing debut before Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young made Tragic Kingdom, produced by Matthew Wilder across eleven Los Angeles studios over roughly two and a half years. Stefani's songwriting turned unusually personal after her real life breakup with bassist Kanal, and the album folded ska, new wave, punk, reggae and funk into massive pop hooks on singles like "Just a Girl," "Spiderwebs" and "Don't Speak," eventually spending nine weeks at number one and closing out 1997 as the second best selling album of the year.Diggin AlbumsCollective Soul – Touch and Go (2026)Collective Soul's 13th studio album finds Ed Roland trading the band's usual melodic hard rock for a Cars inspired, new wave leaning sound across ten songs including "Rainbow," "Eye On You," "Uh Oh" and "Love Your Way."Matthew Sweet – 100% Fun (1995)The Nebraska born power pop songwriter's fifth album, produced by Brendan O'Brien after Sweet asked for something stronger and simpler than the murkier Altered Beast, paired grinding guitars and powerful drums with his usual chiming melodies and dark relationship lyrics.Graham Hunt – American Pyramid (2026)The Wisconsin based indie rock musician's sixth full length, and his first made in a proper studio, moves away from years of home recording as he brings an eight piece band to Pachyderm Studio in Minnesota.Cage the Elephant – "Beaches in Tennessee" (2026) singleThe Bowling Green, Kentucky band's first new music since 2024's Neon Pill and first release for Big Loud Rock turns a difficult personal experience into a lighter, fictionalized single produced by Justin and Jeremiah Raisen, known together as SADPONY.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, email your own favorites to podcast@albumnerds.com, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."I feel like such a heifer.

Casio talks to Collective Soul bassist Will Turpin about getting back out on tour, what music means to him. Their desire to continue to create new music over 25 years into this... Collective Soul is an American rock band originally from Stockbridge, Georgia. Now based in Atlanta, the group consists of lead vocalist Ed Roland, rhythm guitarist Dean Roland, bassist Will Turpin, drummer Johnny Rabb, and lead guitarist Jesse Triplett. Formed in 1992, Collective Soul released their Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid album on the independent label Rising Storm Records in 1993. The band went from obscurity to popularity that year after the song "Shine" became an underground hit based on radio play. The album was re-released in 1994 under major label Atlantic Records. Collective Soul released a self-titled album in March 1995. Considered by Ed Roland to be the band's true debut album, Collective Soul spent 76 weeks on the Billboard 200 charts and went triple-platinum, becoming the band's highest-selling album. The singles "December", "The World I Know", and "Where the River Flows" each reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock charts. About two years later, Collective Soul released Disciplined Breakdown. Although not as successful in sales as their previous two albums, Disciplined Breakdown contained two No. 1 Mainstream Rock chart hits with "Precious Declaration" and "Listen". The band released a fourth studio album, Dosage, in 1999. The album's first single, "Heavy", spent a then record-breaking 15 weeks on the top spot of the Mainstream Rock charts. The band released Blender in 2000, their fifth and final album with the original starting lineup, as lead guitarist Ross Childress left the band in 2001. About two weeks after Childress' departure, Collective Soul released Seven Year Itch, a compilation of their greatest hits between 1994 and 2001. Collective Soul established their own label, El Music Group, prior to releasing Youth in 2004. The band recorded a live album with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra in 2005, titled Home, and released it in 2006. Original drummer Shane Evans departed from the band at the end of 2005. Collective Soul has since released four more albums: Afterwords (2007), a second self-titled album (2009), See What You Started by Continuing (2015), and Blood (2019).
