Podcasts about rock albums

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.

Welcome to Season 9! We begin this new season with a mini, four-episode non-grad series highlighting guests whose work is harmonious with the work and ethos of the Hoffman Process. Our first non-grad guest is musician, activist, and award-winning filmmaker, Michael Franti.** As you listen to Michael's life story, you'll hear him speak of his feelings of abandonment and being an outsider. These feelings echo much of the work done during a week at the Hoffman Process. With eloquence and an open heart, he tells us his story of adoption, living with alcoholic parents, and what healing these wounds can look like. His life story is beautiful. As Michael says, you'll see what a generous gift it is to tell one's story. Originally recorded as part of an ongoing collaboration with Modern Elder Academy, Michael and Drew met in person in Santa Fe to record this conversation. Chip Conley, co-founder of MEA, chimes in at the end. This is a deep, fun, vulnerable conversation.
