Podcasts about rock albums

Episode 158: This week, the boys and I head back to 1996 and rank our Top 5 favorite rock albums from one of the biggest years in rock history. From alternative rock to metal and everything in between, we talk about the bands, the music, and what life was like during an unforgettable era in the 90s. 0:00 - Cold Open / Intro (Lee Michaels)2:53 - Rock Music in 19965:18 - Lee's Number 58:00 - Ethan's Number 510:16 - Josh's Number 514:07 - Lee's Number 415:58 - Ethan's Number 418:06 - Josh's Number 421:49 - Lee's Number 324:26 - Ethan's Number 328:44 - Josh's Number 332:24 - Lee's Number 236:56 - Ethan's Number 241:15 - Josh's Number 245:36 - Lee's Honorable Mentions48:30 - Ethan's Honorable Mentions51:03 - Josh's Honorable Mentions56:40 - Lee's Number 159:44 - Ethan's Number 11:06:01 - Josh's Number 11:09:11 - Ethan's Dad1:11:21 - Looking Back / Final Thoughts1:14:18 - Lee's Prize Offering1:15:25 - Your Top 5 / Outro1996 Rock Music Playlisthttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxFycXVYYhX7qwTPxAsmXnnAsk2ieh1aU

Will Tammy's lust of all things Urban be able to wait??  

Nearly perfect albums are a trap and we walked straight into it. We go down a punchy list of 1980s rock staples and actually argue the hard part: what makes a classic rock record feel flawless from top to bottom, and what makes it feel “too polished” even when the songs are huge. From Back In Black to Appetite For Destruction to Purple Rain, we swap favorites, call out the moments where bands start chasing the mainstream, and talk about how producers and the 80s studio sound shaped what we still hear today.Then we hit the headlines with music news that's equal parts heartfelt and nerdy. We talk about Dolly Parton stepping away from her Las Vegas residency for health reasons, the growing wave of big releases and comebacks, and the live music trend that sent us spiraling: metal shows inside caves. If you've ever wondered how acoustics, reflective surfaces, and a room full of bodies change a mix after soundcheck, we break it down in plain English.We also bring the community into the driver's seat with the question of the day: what 70s or 80s artist had a completely unique sound? The crew drops everything from Bowie and Hendrix to Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Run-DMC, and more. Add current country and rock charts, a quick 2001 time capsule on radio and CDs, and a mailbag on branding and “too polished” artists, and you've got a full hour of music podcast conversation that feels like hanging with real fans. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us your one truly unique artist pick.Episode LinksChris Franz: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Alyxx: https://jayfranze.com/episode123/Gina Fritz: https://jayfranze.com/episode137/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Stephanie Rabus: https://jayfranze.com/episode149/MacKenzie Leigh: https://jayfranze.com/episode153/Kieran Robertson: Send us Fan MailSupport the showLinksJay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/JFS Countdowns/Playlists: https://jayfranze.com/playlists/ContactContact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/SocialsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranzeYouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranzeEverywhere: @jayfranzeServicesServices: https://jayfranze.com/services/BooksBooks: https://jayfranze.com/books/MerchandiseMerchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/SupportSupport: https://jayfranze.com/support/Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/Shout OutsHigh Mountain Breezes Music: https://highmountainbreezesmusic.com/VR Knives: https://www.facebook.com/VRKnives

Join Montag and Choptop as they turn on their lava lamps and take a groovy cruise through the best hard rock and metal albums the 70s has to offer!

Skyhooks – Living in the 70s (1974) | 70s Rock Deep DiveWhat if the most important rock album of 1974 never made it out of its home country? In Australia, Skyhooks' debut Living in the 70s was a cultural earthquake — 16 weeks at #1, the highest-selling Australian album of its time, six songs banned from commercial radio, and a bill where AC/DC and Split Ends opened for them. Outside Australia? Complete silence for fifty years.Jason, Tim, and Chip dig into this theatrical, bass-driven, gloriously weird debut from Melbourne's most provocative band — a record that sounds like Alice Cooper, Rocky Horror, Black Oak Arkansas, and a cosmic cowboy walked into a pub and decided to start a glam rock band. It's not what you'd expect from 1974 Australian rock. That's exactly the point.If you love Alice Cooper, Slade, Alex Harvey, early Cheap Trick, or any band that traded guitar heroics for theatrical swagger, this episode is for you.• 0:00 — Intro — This week on Dig Me Out: 70s and 80s rock. Four albums entered the listener poll. One won both — with a tiebreaker. Welcome to Australia.• 1:07 — How the Album Won — The poll breakdown: Detective (1977), Hurriganes' Roadrunner (1974), Thundermug's Thundermug Strikes (1972), and Skyhooks' Living in the 70s (1974). It tied with Detective on the website. It tied with Thundermug on Patreon. Skyhooks won both. Community member Eric Peterson suggested it — then voted against it. Classic.• 3:10 — Australian Correspondent Gavin Weighs In — The band's backstory, straight from someone who actually grew up with this record. Singer Shirley Strachan's wild post-band career (children's television, home renovation hosting, a fatal helicopter crash in 2001). Guitarist Red Simons' 28 years gonging amateurs off stage on Hey Hey It's Saturday. These were not conventional rock band trajectories.• 6:43 — Album History and Chart Context — October 1974, Mushroom Records, produced by Ross Wilson. 16 weeks at #1. Highest-selling Australian album of its time. “Horror Movie” hit #1 on the National Singles Chart in 1975. Listed #9 in 100 Best Australian Albums. Over 475,000 copies and counting. The numbers behind the record that North America never heard.• 11:02 — Community Comments from the Poll — Listener reactions from the Patreon and Discord, including a debate about whether Hurricanes would have been the first Finnish band covered on the show (it wouldn't have been), and the Led Zeppelin/John Bonham drumming-on-a-secret-album conspiracy theory that surrounds the Detective record.• 13:28 — What Works: Jay's Take — The record is nothing like what you'd expect. Bass-driven, not guitar-forward. Theatrical song-as-set-piece writing. A vocalist who sounds — on first listen — like a woman, then like Alice Cooper, then like something you genuinely can't categorize. This album sounds like 70s AM radio in all the ways classic rock nostalgia forgets.• 20:26 — What Works: Chip's Take — Full-face makeup, banned lyrics, and a sound that was aggressively transgressive in conservative 1974 Australia — even if it doesn't register that way in 2026. The theatrical context matters. Watching live performances from the era makes the whole thing click. Think Alex Harvey, early Alice Cooper, pre-MTV showmanship.• 24:00 — “Living in the 70s” and “Whatever Happened to the Revolution” — The title track ages itself but holds up as a hook. Track two is a boogie-groove gut punch that sounds like Dangerous Toys discovered Black Oak Arkansas. If you played this song cold before one of the 80s metal episodes, nobody would have guessed it was from 1974 Australia.• 25:48 — “Carlton (Lygon Street Limbo)” — Hyper-local Melbourne geography meets Caribbean rhythm meets bluesy guitar. Lyrically opaque to anyone who's never been to Carlton, but sonically one of the record's most surprising moments.• 29:54 — The Concert Bill That Rewrites History — At the height of their commercial peak, Skyhooks headlined a show. AC/DC and Split Ends (later Crowded House) opened for them. Three completely different bands, three completely different futures — and Skyhooks had top billing. The footnote that reframes everything.• 31:56 — “Horror Movie” — The Great Disguise — It's not about horror movies. It's about the 6:30 news. The song that became a dancefloor hit by weaponizing social commentary — murders, fires, and violence packaged and broadcast into Australian living rooms every evening. The twist lands. The repetition getting there is a genuine debate.• 38:44 — What Doesn't Work — All three hosts wanted more guitar grit. The record sits in a power-pop middle ground when it could have gone full glam bombast or full distorted rock. Some songs lean too hard on lyrical repetition. “Motorcycle B***h” opens a door it never fully walks through. The hooks are quirky, not cathartic — and for a certain kind of listener, that's a dealbreaker.• 42:12 — “Smut” — The Song That Out-Smutted the 80s — Of everything covered in months of hair metal and 80s sleaze rock, this 1974 Australian track made the hosts blush harder than anything else. An ode to the adult cinema experience in graphic detail. This one got banned from radio. Correctly.• 50:52 — Final Ratings — Jay: EP (“Living in the 70s,” “Whatever Happened to the Revolution,” “Horror Movie,” “You Just Like Me Because I'm Good in Bed,” “Carlton,” “Smut”). Chip: Decent Single (“Living in the 70s,” “Whatever Happened to the Revolution,” “Carlton”). Tim: EP (“Living in the 70s,” “Whatever Happened to the Revolution,” “You Just Like Me Because I'm Good in Bed,” “Carlton,” “Motorcycle B***h”).• 54:47 — Outro and Credits — Thanks to listener Eric Peterson for the suggestion. A reminder that the Aughts are the hottest category in listener voting right now — so if you're submitting a 2000s pick, your odds are slim. For everyone else? The 70s and 80s polls are wide open.

Here is something that wasn't on our country music bingo card for 2026: Keith Urban is doing an album of all yacht rock covers! No one is more excited for this than Tammy... 

Climb in bed with one of the first-ever sex symbols, Mae West! She was born in the 1800's and lived long (and well) enough to star on broadway, lead the silver screen, and even release a ROCK ALBUM before she died! Guest is historian and playwright, John Heimbuch, who wrote the hit play Mae West and the Trial of Sex.  ---

A listener threw down the gauntlet and we answered: Wax Wars, the ultimate rock album face-off. We're talking full-catalog giants and needle-drop staples—Fleetwood Mac versus Eagles, Zeppelin versus Floyd, The Who versus Queen, Clash versus Ramones, U2 versus R.E.M., and more—decided by a mix of song strength, cultural impact, and those stubborn memories that never leave. The fun isn't just in who wins; it's in how certain records force you to choose between a perfect side and a perfect song, between a life-changing first listen and the album that still works anywhere, anytime.We chart why Dark Side demands a full ride while Zeppelin IV shines in any shuffle. We revisit how Bohemian Rhapsody re-entered pop culture through a movie and stayed for good. We trace the shockwave of Nevermind, the summer-long dominance of Synchronicity, and the way Back in Black turned grief into an indestructible anthem machine.By the end, you'll have a fresh lens on classics like Abbey Road, Let It Bleed, Revolver, Pyromania, Blizzard of Ozz, and Elephant. You'll also hear why some albums are built for the long arc while others are engineered for constant replay. Jump in, keep score with us, and then tell us where we blew it and where we nailed it.

Things are gonna get LOUD! This week, we turn the amps up to 11 and put the effects pedals on stun as we celebrate Noise Rock. What exactly is "noise rock" though?? At its simplest definition, it's rock music that emphasizes noise - distortion, feedback, dissonance, abrasion.  But as a subgenre, it only takes a cursory look through internet music forums to see how easily these things can digress into petty arguments about what is or is not noise rock.  Commonly perceived as precursors to noise rock would be various ‘60s psych bands like 13th Floor Elevators and the ubiquitous Velvet Underground, free jazz, and early experimental music where traditional instruments were manipulated to sound like anything but traditional instruments.  In the punk era, the natural outgrowth were things like the no wave scene that was happening in New York and British bands like The Fall, Swell Maps, and This Heat.  From there, throughout the ‘80s, ‘90s and beyond, the term was synonymous with bands like Sonic Youth, Big Black, Swans, the Jesus Lizard, and any number of bands in which Steve Albini had a hand in some way.  Joining us to wade through the mud is a New York based band whose members had a hand in shaping our perception of noise rock. The Whimbrels have just released their self titled debut album on Dromedary Records, and it's an astounding, ambitious and riff-laden affair that has plenty of noise, but also a lot of dynamics and deceptively accessible moments.  Guitarist/Vocalist/Songwriter Arad Evans was associated with Glenn Branca's ensemble from the 1980's until Branca's 2018 death, as well as his band Heroes of Toolik and scores of others.  Bassist/Vocalist/Songwriter Matt Hunter co-founded the great ‘90s/2000's cult favorites New Radiant Storm King and has played with a ton of other notables such as J. Mascis, King Missile, and Silver Jews.  Thanks to Howard Wuelfing from Howlin' Wuelf Media for the introduction and coordination! Proud members of the Pantheon Podcasts family.

  One of my favorite genre rabbit holes that I went down in 2025 was instrumental rock music. That title covers a lot of styles from post-rock to stoner rock to prog rock to cosmic country to fusion to psych rock etc. I've always listened to music that falls into this category whether it's Khruangbin or Causa Sui or Oren Ambarchi but this year my interest in this genre exploded.  So I thought I would create a mix of some of my favorite instrumental rock albums from 2025. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the heavy stuff. This mix has a nice blend of a few heavy tunes with some Khruangbin-like tracks, a couple kraut rock style tracks, a jam band cut, a prog tune, even a dub track, and a bunch of other difficult to categorize music.    >>>LINKS TO ALL THE MUSIC USED IN THIS MIX

Glenn Hughes joins me for an exclusive in-depth interview about CHOSEN, his first solo album in nine years — and possibly his final rock album.In this emotional and deeply personal conversation, Glenn opens up about:The spiritual themes behind ChosenWriting from a place of recovery and awarenessPreserving his iconic voice through breathwork and Buddhist practiceWhy this might be his last album with Frontiers RecordsA potential return to the soul and funk of Feel and F.U.N.K.Reflections on loss, love, and legacy — from Tommy Bolin to Ozzy OsbourneThis is one of the most candid interviews Glenn has ever given, and it's a powerful portrait of an artist who remains a force of nature, still reaching for truth through music.

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in WYGYFF Episode 16: Denver-based keyboardist, drummer, producer and composer DeShawn Alexander, leader of the group Watermelon Funk. Spending his childhood as a church organist and later attending the Berklee College of Music, his repertoire has spanned funk, hip hop, blues, jazz and rock. Artists he has worked or shared the stage with include Marcus King, Lettuce, Eric Krasno, Talib Kweli, Joe Louis Walker, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Robert Randolph.  Heavily inspired by Parliament-Funkadelic, and especially Bernie Worrell, since 2021 Watermelon Funk has released three fantastic albums, including 2024's Afrodesiac – which features Garrett Shider and was named among FUNKNSTUFF's Top 25 Funk & Rock Albums of the Year.  RECORDED DECEMBER 2024 Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where'd You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives. WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where'd you get your funk from? This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations. LEGAL NOTICE: All video and audio content protected by copyright.

For this episode, I have a chat with Singer Songwriter, Jack Droppers. Jack has been in a band with his best friends for almost a decade, and he wouldn't want it any other way. I loved where this conversation went. From sharing our mutual connection to Orlando, to finding the hidden little things that we incorporate into our work, and also celebrating the fun and quirky methods that we have in order to chase down that great idea.Jack has really great insights when it comes to creative work. His music is really in touch with his personal memories and emotions, and also inspires listeners to ultimately celebrate life despite all of its imperfections. He understands the value of art, and also has a deep desire in expressing that the act of creating is just as important as the finished product.I can't help but to smile when thinking about how serendipitous this conversation was. To start the chat with me sharing a childhood photo wearing an Orlando Magic jersey (well before I've ever lived in Orlando), to learning how big of a basketball fan Jack is, particularly the Orlando Magic, and to top it off, the conversation about creativity was focused on finding the little MAGICAL moments to incorporate into our art. I mean, cmon!The band Jack Droppers and the Best Intentions is in the process of writing and recording their next album. Their latest album "Scooter" won the WYCE "Alternative Album of the Year" in 2024 and "Dad Rock" won the WYCE "Rock Album of the Year" in 2023Enjoy!About this Podcast : Craft Talk is a collection of interviews with people of different disciplines ranging from creativity, business, and lifestyle.
