Beck Did It Better episodes

  • Led Zeppelin: Physical Graffiti (1975) Ep. 144

    Is that your new Lenny Kravitz vibrato or are you just excited about the old Chi Chi's?  Normally Beck Did it Better goes over the top, but this week we're going through the fly and running a jailbreak on the best podcast about Led Zeppelin and the 144th greatest album of all time, Physical Graffiti. 

     

    But before we talk about the music, we sit down for some coffee talk and chat about music memorabilia, the best songs from the 90s, and whether to throw out your old CDs, DVDs, and baseball cards. Sorry Wreckx n Effect, Rounders, and Sid Bream Topps, you're gone.

     

    Then at (57:00) we serve up a big slice of custard pie and talk about Led Zeppelin and their 1975 double album, Physical Graffiti. We discuss Led Zeppelin's live jam sessions, Led Zeppelin's best song, and the best songs featuring a guitar tremolo.

     

    Next week we're going to be providing some type of public service announcement when we become the best Eminem podcast and discuss his 2000 hip hop album, the Marshall Mathers LP. We may talk about the album or we might just revisit some of our greatest hits from Highway 61...to the Danger Zone!

  • The Velvet Underground: Velvet Underground (not the one with the banana) (1969) Ep. 143

    Oh drat! Some might say this week's episode is a travesty. But why would anyone ever delete the best podcast about The Velvet Underground and the 143rd greatest album of all time, The Velvet Underground (without Nico).

     

    Before we get to the music, we invite you to the room where it happens to discuss monster trucks, the most expensive concert tickets we've ever purchased, and the best things to do in Vegas. We also review The Super Mario Brothers Movie, go on an epic rant about fancy ballpark food, and discuss what it's like to date a cheerleader. We also confirm that we have nothing to say about the Octomom.

     

    Then at (56:00), Candy says it's time to talk about The Velvet Underground and their self-titled folk rock album from 1969. We discuss spoken word tracks, the Juno soundtrack, and the best female drummers of all time.

     

    Next week we'll try not to make you sick again when we trample you under our feet for the best Led Zeppelin podcast, when we cover the 1975 hard rock album, Physical Graffiti.

  • Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA (1984) Ep. 142

    One, two, three, four! Even though this episode is too long we'd appreciate you leaving a review telling people that this is the best podcast about Bruce Springsteen and the 142nd greatest album of all time, Born in the U.S.A.

     

    A warning for all you listeners who landed on this podcast after listening to Sea Change by Beck...before we get to the album, we start a secret text chain to discuss Smokey Robinson's new album Gazms, airport gaslighting, and how everybody needs a little time away. We also become the best royal coronation podcast when we pledge our allegiance to our liege, King Charles. 

     

    Then at (54:00) your cool hard rockin' 'daddies make it last all night when we discuss the Boss and his 1984 rock album, Born in the U.S.A. We discuss the most famous butts in music, Springsteen's deceptively depressing music, and the best heartland rock songs. We also unlock some core memories about Frank Thomas and Jeff Paper Bagwell.

  • Pixies: Doolittle (1989) Ep. 141

    If man is five, and the devil is six, then that must make Beck Did it Better seven because this week we are the best Pixies podcast when we cover the 141st greatest album of all time, Doolittle.

     

    Before we get to the album we let loose our king gizzard and lizard wizard for some lively discussion of sapiosexuals, phone call etiquette, birthday gifts, and the most important bartending skills. We think you should save and bookmark this episode, but even if you don't like it, you can't be mad at us because we talked about Hamilton last week.

     

    Then at (51:00) we discuss the Pixies second studio album, Doolittle. We discuss why the Pixies are every band's favorite band, the Pixies influence on the alternative rock scene, and the best songs from privileged Northeast college bands.

    Before we get to the album, we listen to a great voicemail on the Beck Line which leads us down a memory lane of the best podcast bits ever.

    Just like a prayer, Beck Did It Better will take you there for the best podcast about Madonna and the 138th greatest album of all time, The Immaculate Collection.

     

    This weeks episode is going to be great for your neuroplasticity when we go reverse cowgirl on it and talk about the album first, expressing ourselves on the songs that made Immaculate Collection the best-selling greatest hits album ever. We discuss Madonna's talent as a performer, the best songs that inspired dance crazes, and the best albums from the 90s. We also get into the groove on David Fincher's music videos and the best bump and grind songs. 

     

    Then at (1:12:00) we take you between the sheets to discuss the best hot sauces, juvenile pranks, and cyclist road rage. We also talk about the best way to watch Wrestlemania without the DIVA in your life knowing about it, if you smell what we're cooking. Finally, we take a voicemail about senior pictures, hair styles, and that dude from your college dorm who gave the old lady from McDonalds a double royale with cheese.  

     

    Next week we release a podcast for the 139th consecutive week, breaking Cal Ripken's Iron Man streak, when we become the best Black Sabbath podcast and discuss the most influential heavy metal album of all time, Paranoid.

    The Beck Did it Better podcast is officially perfect for someone like you, because this week we become the best podcast about Adele and the 137th greatest album of all time, 21.

     

    Before we discuss the album, this episode reflects on all the emotions of a breakup when we celebrate national foreskin day, take a voicemail about weeds, and break down the best way to eat Cadbury Eggs.

  • Funkadelic: Maggot Brain (1971) Ep. 136

    We've got a hunch... this podcast outta be defunct...but not before we ride the psychedelic wave into becoming the best podcast about the Funkadelic and the 136th greatest album of all time, Maggot Brain. 

     

    If your expectations for this episode were low, we delivered when we take a voicemail about studying abroad, discuss exotic animals, and provide a music video breakdown of DJ Snake's and Lil Jon's Turn Down for What, which is certain to give you an RHE. We also discuss bar hopping, how long to wait at a restaurant, and desert sharing etiquette. Turns out that if you base your desert sharing on credit, and the carrot cake is gone, checks you signed with cheesecake in the fridge, come back insufficient funds. 

     

    Then at (47:00) we move on to some other strains of thought when we discuss Funkadelic's third studio album, Maggot Brain. We discuss Jimmy Hendrix's influence on George Clinton and Eddie Hazel, Funkadelic's influence on hip-hop, and the best songs with deep bass voices. 

     

    Rumour has it that next week we'll become the best Adele podcast when we go rolling in the deep in her second studio album, 21.

    1 hr 22 min
  • U2: The Joshua Tree (1987) Ep. 135

    We still are not the podcast you are looking for with this week's episode looking at U2 and The Joshua Tree. Are we the best U2 podcast? Hmmmm... We are at least 3rd. 


    This week, we talk about college life, European baseball, very cool things about you getting deleted off the internet, Aaron having pink eye, Matt having a vegas warning, and Russell is not in trouble this week but wait until the next one! 


    Then we get into the album and it is like the mighty axe. It starts off fast and then ends with it just hanging there upside down. Maybe that is just how my friend Greta sees it. 

    Oh well. You already have an opinion about U2 so whatever. 

     

    Next week, we hit  Maggot Brain by The Funkadelic and you know it is an Aaron album because it starts with a 10 minute solo and no one will download that episode.
