To say that not *really* listening to Black Sabbath constitutes a major blind spot for us is putting it lightly. 😣 We’re starting with Black Sabbath Vol. 4 (for some reason), and we’ll tell you whether it’s for everyone, for fans of the genre, fans of the artist, or no one. We also rank the top ten albums of 1997 (man, was that a great year!) and give you a playlist of five songs that will help renew your passion for music.

We’re working our way through some of the critics’ greatest albums of all time - well, those we’ve never listened to before, anyway. 😉 These are mostly albums from the 60s and 70s, which are a HUGE blind spot for at least one of our hosts. This week the boys interrupt their summer breaks for a close look at “Pet Sounds” by The Beach Boys.What album have you just never got around to listening to? What do you think of this album?

For the past three seasons, we’ve challenged ourselves to name our 10 favorite artists, knowing that at the end of the season, three artists would be relegated and three would be promoted (I.e., get booted from the list and join the list, respectively, a la the English Premier League). It’s time to see who dropped and who joined the elite EPPL (Extended Play Premier League ™️). What do you think of our lists? Which of your favorite artists are in danger?
