On this week’s episode we question why Taylor Swift was voted a better guitar player than Brad Paisley and others, we discuss, begrudgingly, the effect that artificial intelligence is already having on the entertainment industry. We answer some listener mail, which leads to one of our first reaction episodes. Oh and we are back to recording video promos starting this week. I’m not sure if we should say you’re welcome or not. We climb the Wall of Tunes for an album that was not held in very high esteem by fans of one of our favorite bands. #ai #defleppard

On this episode we share Kelly Clarkson’s undeniably cool cover of Metallica, new music from Foghat, a Michael McDonald story that may or may not be in his memoir, and we discuss Ultimate Classic Rock’s list of the Top 20 Hard Rock and Metal albums from 1989. We also play our new favorite hypothetical game, “Mixtape”, and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a hidden gem duo that only made one record and then split. #kellyclarkson #metallica #michaelmcdonald #eastmountainsouth #mixtape

On this episode we discuss a possible addition to our duties here at the podcast; we find out what songs were at number one in various countries on the day we were born; we talk about the fresh sounds of the sixties, a little Michael McDonald talk…because…well, just because, we play our new favorite game “Mixtape”, and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a mild-mannered artist who’s name is synonymous with the 70s singer/songwriter movement…and the man O’Brien saw in concert on his honeymoon and his last wedding anniversary! #michaelmcdonald #jamestaylor #mixtape #sixties

On this episode we talk new music releases that are due out in June, the newest song from Bon Jovi’s forthcoming album, how a band can or cannot continue with no original members, and our MMM (Michael McDonald Moment) has us discussing Michael’s new memoir a bit and how at first he resisted the term “Yacht Rock”.

 On this episode we talk about the new 40th Anniversary edition of Def Leppard’s “Pyromania” and how it set the stage for what was to come. We dive a little into AI, but honestly it scares us. We climb the Wall of Tunes for an album from 1982 from Darth Vader, but not really. #defleppard #AI #billyjoel

And we end with a Dad joke! Namaste! #richiesambora #deeppurple #bigheadtodd
