Some bands seem to find or rediscover their groove, when it's driven by politics or political stance. U2 always seems to circle back to arrive in this category. Aside from the messages U2 is looking to convey on this EP, as The Dude isn't here to talk politics...I'm here for the Rock n' Roll. The sound on a good portion of this EP seems to indicate the band has returned to form in terms of that recognizable U2 sound. #U2 #ddclassicrock #podcast

"Wish You Were Here" has always been one of Pink Floyd's iconic albums, with only a five-track listing.

With a polished up and extended 50th Anniversary now released, The Dude Dives in with his thoughts on this edition. #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockon #wishyouwerehere #pinkfloyd

The Alice Cooper album simply titled "Road" was released in 2023. It was initiated as an album to highlight the sound of Alice Cooper's current Touring Band. Cut live in studio with no overdubs, the result is another enjoyable entry in the extensive Alice Cooper Catalog. We also, touch base on another podcast with an episode featuring an Alice Cooper experience, that is also worth the listen. #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockon #alicecooper #road

Billy Idol is back with his first new full-length album in over a decade. The result is an album that serves up enough classic Billy Idol sound, while not taking too many new risks, with a few of Billy's musical buddies contributing on a few of the tracks. #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockon #billyidol #dreamintoit

The Van Halen...Van Hagar Years, for many years were shelved after "The Breakup Number Two" between Sammy Hagar and the Van Halen Brothers. However, in 2023 The Van Hagar Albums finally...FINALLY received the re-master treatment in "The Collection II". The result is a mostly satisfying box set, especially for the album "5150". While Sammy and Eddie reconciled a bit before Eddie Van Halen's passing in 2020, you get the feeling this re-release could've been better if they had collaborated on this release together...at the very least they would've stopped some...well...dumb creative decisions that came with the release. Overall, still a great re-release...IT'S 5150 TIME!!! #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockon #vanhalen #vanhagar #redrocker #eddievanhalen #thecollectionII #redrocker - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1YgtUHBiRYuoeqfdfxwcVz?si=50bqMfCCT06LeKwXna-58Q
