This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with Gary Graff, editor of "501 ESSENTIAL ALBUMS OF THE '80s: The Music Fan's Definitive Guide"! In this conversation, we talk about some of the major musical trends of the ‘80s and how Gary felt about them in his early days as a music journalist. And since we had both recently seen Devo on their current tour, Gary shares his review of that show. From there, we dive in on some Classic Rock selections that he wrote the reviews for, specifically albums from Genesis, Steve Winwood, Toto, Night Ranger, Alice Cooper, among others. We also discuss why so many ‘60s artists had comebacks in the ‘80s, and of course I had to ask him about what Bob Seger was up to in that era.

The latest in my series about the albums that made me into who I am - this is about an album that made me feel very far away from wherever I didn't want to be when I was a kid. It's an album that made me dream of beaches and oceans and piers and highways along the coast that I had never been to before, an album that made me feel like life was sunnier than it seemed, and most importantly, an album that has the only song I've ever found that I actually like that has MY name in it. It's another one of the albums that means the absolute most to me, and it's one of the few on the list that was written by a man. Playlist on Spotify // Apple Music This is a public episode.

Being an 80s music podcast, it's no surprise that when we learned music journalist Gary Graff authored the book, 501 Essential Albums of the '80s, we would have to talk with him. Naturally, whenever there is a list deemed "essential", there will be debate, and so we had questions such as, "Why this one and not that one?". It's a good talk, and one that will inspire you to think about your own essential 80s music albums.

After a few days off for treatment, AJ explained why the doctors consider him to be a medical marvel, and how easy it is to lose your car in a parking garage. (15:28) The Tribe was calling in to share their stories of being attacked by bees, which included some hilarious recreation commentary from AJ. (23:51) It took no time at all for Chaz and Gary Graff to start arguing over the essential albums of the 1980's. Gary wrote the book on the 501 most essential albums, and the only thing he and Chaz agreed on is the exclusion of Don Johnson's "Heartbeat." (32:01)

Send us a textAfter years of collecting vinyl records, I found myself on a musical journey that led me to the top 10 essential albums everyone should experience. Join me as I reflect on what makes an album essential and distinguish it from personal favorites. From the transformative power of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' "To Be True" to the soulful shift of David Bowie's "Young Americans," we explore the lasting impact of these records and their influence on music culture. Through this exploration, I invite you to reflect on your own essential picks and how they have shaped your musical journey.Get ready for a trip back in time as we dive into the musical gems of the 1970s and 1980s. From the vocal prowess of Teddy Pendergrass in Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' "To Be True" to the overlooked brilliance of David Bowie's "Young Americans," we celebrate the artists who left an indelible mark on music history. We can't forget Sinead O'Connor's unique Irish rock sound in "The Lion and the Cobra," which finally gained posthumous recognition for its incredible artistry. Through these albums, we explore the timeless appeal of music and its ability to transport us to different eras and emotions.Join me as we take a deep dive into the power of music to evoke moods. From the timeless charm of Frank Sinatra's "September of My Years" to the moody brilliance of The Smiths' "Meat is Murder," we explore albums that have left a lasting impact. Technical difficulties may have interrupted our live stream, but the passion for sharing great music remains strong. We celebrate albums like Public Enemy's revolutionary "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" and Nico Case's atmospheric "Blacklisted," showcasing the importance of these records in my personal list. Despite the challenges, I cherish the opportunity to connect with you through the iconic albums that have shaped our musical journeys.
This was an album about growing up, about moving away, about changing from a girl into a woman, about navigating the world while being unsure of how (or even if) you fit into it. It was also an album that shook the foundations of pop so much that it launched the careers of dozens of other girls after it, that pissed men off, that confused critics, and that changed the way I would look at music for the rest of my life. It's an album that will forever be an iconic piece of my history, whether it also happened to teach me internalized misogyny or not.

The show that talks about stuff on purpose is back with our premiere episode of season four! Can you believe TRAPPO's fourth season is here? We can't! Anyhow, if it's our season premiere, then that must mean it's time for our latest Essential Albums episode. What is that, you may be asking? It's a simple enough premise. The two hosts of TRAPPO each choose a handful of albums (new, old, whatever) that they consider "essential", and those albums are inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on.

That's the giant cannon we're constructing at an undisclosed location in the high desert, which we will one day load with all the coolest pop culture ephemera this rotten world has to offer, then we'll blast it into outer space for enlightened extraterrestrials to enjoy.
