This is why we keep Joe Lavelle around. Not because he's a good friend, or a swell fella, or a funny guy, or even because he's got great taste in music. Although all of these things are true, we love having Joe on the pod for his exquisite brain, the thing that came up with Top Ten Easter Egg Album Titles. These are those sneaky albums that get their title from the lyrics in one of the songs on the album. Join us in Part 2 as we count down picks 5 through 1 and once again walk that fine line of Obvious But Awesome vs Rare Stuff You Need To Hear, which our man Joe is especially adept at. No wonder we like having him on the show.If you missed Part 1, please do yourself a favor and start here:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/alltimetopten/episodes/2022-08-29T04_00_00-07_00Dig on the Apple Music playlist for this topic:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/episode-527-528-top-ten-easter-egg-album-titles/pl.u-JPAZEGNTLjErY3G?ls&fbclid=IwAR3vCn9pTuJhRuz77p82_CGUXpEwYeQBlAvAMeR4UIhGCo2vvYaJEJQvbTsFor 2 measly dollars you can get exclusive bonus episodes every month starring our favorite guests, including Top Ten Hilarious Punk Rock Songs with the mighty Gabe Scalone, which came out September 1st.

Sure counting down favorite title tracks is fun, but have you ever tried Top Ten Easter Egg Album Titles? Our very own Joe Lavelle has not only graced us with his whimsical presence for yet another episode, he has blessed the show with a topic that some notable pundits have called everything from "pure genius" to "hey that's a good topic". When we say Easter Egg Album Titles, we mean albums that get their title from a lyric in one of the songs on the album. Some all-time greats are represented and in Part 1, OBA picks loom large, with lots of welcome detours along the way. It's not Easter in August, it's just a really fun topic.Dig on the Apple Music playlist for this topic:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/episode-527-top-ten-easter-egg-album-titles-part-1/pl.u-JPAZEGNTLjErY3G?ls&fbclid=IwAR2HDJCQKKq_jJXy6u5nxO_RR2bPhUfbSIpggbfvAtnTWc5mOWeO3TFYKugFor 2 measly dollars you can get exclusive bonus episodes every month starring our favorite guests, including Top Ten Hilarious Punk Rock Songs with the mighty Gabe Scalone, out September 1st.

Top Ten Title Tracks is such the least brainy of all the no-brainer topics, it's a wonder it took us 11 years to consider it. The Old Boy Himself, the beloved Ryan Blake is back for part 2 of our ridiculous conversation and sublime playlist.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out this topic. Top Ten Title Tracks is about as basic as you can get, but still a fascinating topic featuring songs that belong in the musical stratosphere. We're talking the cream of the crop, people. When a great artist or band decides to name an album after a song on that album, you know it's best of the best material every time. The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake returns for another go-at-it in SS Blakey Studios, deep in the heart of Long Beach.

Sometimes our favorite bands and artists take longer than we want to release a piece of music due to various circumstances or obstacles. When these albums finally see the light of day it's a beautiful thing, especially when it becomes clear that all the hard work and time was actually worth the wait. Speaking of waiting, our special guest Adam Sears hasn't been on the pod in years and we hadn't seen him in years, but Top Ten Great Albums We Had To Wait A Long Time For was absolutely worth it. Adam's been playing the waiting game himself, with his progressive space opera rock band Lobate Scarp finally releasing their sophomore album You Have It All after 10 years in the making.

Many moons ago our special guest Frank Nicotero was the host of a wonderful show called Street Smarts. In honor of this very important part of Mr. Nicotero's resume, we've thrown together a simple but fun concept. "Street" Songs are songs that have the word "street" or "streets" in the title. Everybody got that? Good. In all seriousness this was a load of fun and we always enjoy when Frank joins the pod. We hope you dig this lighthearted romp and our temporary obsession with one word in the english language.As Frank mentions during the show, many episodes of Street Smarts are now available on Youtube and their team is adding more all the time. Check out the Street Smarts Youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKck9ygIRF8NwsiOYkdUZnAFrank is more than likely doing stand up comedy in a town near you very soon.
