The fellas go through L.A. Weekly's list of "20 Worst Bands of All Time" -- providing their thoughts, and even unleashing their anger at a few selections.  The also discuss Field Hockey, being in the middle of a sod fight at a concert, the multi-part songs of the Isley Brothers, and  the multi-awfulness of apparent experimental pop.  Enjoy!

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 album 'Tusk – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

Part 2 of 2 where the boys finish the job on Tusk, and continue to debate who is the better female voice of this rather talented outfit, and who would be better to lay around a campfire with.  Join us as we spend the first part of the episode completely off-topic talking about Elvis, the weirdness of the Beach Boys, and the infamous Malace at the Palace…then somehow regroup to discuss not only sides 3 and 4, but the overall splendidness of the now endangered species known as the double album.  Be there!

Toph leads the discussion and review of Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 album 'Tusk – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

Part 1 of 2 where the boys plow through sides one + two of this late 70’s double album ride, and discuss the highs, the dramas and the other shenanigans that made this band special.  Be there as Toph declares what he feels to be the best B-Side ever made…Nubs destroys Don Henley…and the boys hold the great, age old debate of Team Nicks vs. Team McVie.  Don’t go your own way, go ours and join us!

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Handsome's 1997 self-titled debut album – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

The boys welcome an acclaimed Aussie guitarist to the pod -- one that not only helped found one of the more influential abrasive metal acts of the 90's, but also formed this supergroup that produced one album...and boy is it a special one.  We discuss, from across a couple of ponds, this hidden gem record with guitarist Peter Mengede -- as well as the fairly complex nature of the late 90's rock music industry.  Join us, and perhaps pick up a new listen along the way!

Nubs leads the discussion and review of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for Top Gun, released in 1986 – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

Feel like playing with the boys?  Then grab a volleyball, put on some jeans, grease yourself up and let’s go. Tune in to hear our recollections of a franchise (including a new sequel) that has found its longevity, and the soundtrack that helped it do so.  And, while the boys may not agree on all things, they concur that shadowy, sillouetted tongue kissing is not only bad advice – but was quite traumatizing at a young age.  Jester’s dead, but we’re alive and well…so get your butts above the hard deck and tune in!

A couple of our beautiful listeners asked to hear the full version of Toph's cover of Enya's "On My Way Home" -- which we played a short clip of during Episode 75 discussing the 'Shepherd Moons' album...

This was recorded back in 2004 in the corner of a New York City apartment, using Logic Express and a real guitar routed through the effects portal.  So don't expect too much technical brilliance --  but here it is..!

Original Song:

"On My Way Home" by Enya

From the 1996 album 'In Memory of Trees'

Written by Enya & Roma Ryan

Reprise Records/EMI Records Ltd

Is it proggy?  Is it new age?  Is it proggy-new-age??  Nah, it's just Enya.  We explore this unique, original artist, who was always able to save the drama for her mama and let her beautiful music do the talking.  Tune in as Nubs finds clever ways to weave his girlfriend Kate B. into the conversation…Toph performs live with his new drum toy, and also drops a clip of a cover song from the past…and the boys do their best to stay awake and alert, without getting all sleepy and nuzzled and snuggly and stuff.  Don’t sail away, sail away, sail away -- join us instead..!

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Queensrÿche's 1990 album 'Empire' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

The boys explore the concept of precision metal, at a rather interesting time for commercial music, and wonder if this band was truly too good for their own good.  Tune in to hear Toph wonder if we got justice for juicy...Nubs once again makes it all about the drummer...and, the gents discuss whether or not an album cover with delicious looking food actually improved the audible quality of the album itself.  Anybody listening?  We sure hope so!

Toph leads the discussion and review of Insane Clown Posse’s 1997 album ‘The Great Milenko' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

What is a Juggalo?  We may have the answer!  Tune in as Nubs pontificates on ICP being a prog outfit…Toph makes a bold promise around the attendance of a particular event in the future…and the boys plow through this long and distinguished late 90’s classic, riddled with humor and depth to the delight of all who are down with the clown.  Enjoy!

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Aerosmith's 1993 album 'Get a Grip' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

The boys explore the themes of change...and the theme of hired help...as they walk this way through the band's 11th album in seemingly as many lives.  Is it a band?  Is it a business?  Was Alicia Silverstone the ultimate 90's hottie? Join as we, including a special appearance and introduction from a former president, attempt to answer these questions -- as well as a deep dive into the true differences between Cryin', Crazy and Amazing.  Once we can locate them.  Enjoy!
