On this weeks podcast we will be featuring a probably obscure album by a band from Manchester UK. The Stone Roses debut album. Great alternative band and album which paved the way for bigger bands from the UK like Oasis. Following that I will do my staff picks which are always fun and a bit of a grab bag of goodies. Then we will wrap it up with the year that was 1989. Thanks for joining me on this journey in the way back machine to 1989.

Episode 16 takes us back to where the fuse was lit—Van Halen’s earth-shaking debut, the one and only Van Halen I. It changed what rock ’n’ roll could sound like forever. After breaking down this truly perfect front-to-back album, we roll straight into my favorite part of the show: staff picks. Then we’ll wrap it up with a look at the year that was 1978. So sit back in the way back machine and let me take you back to ’78 for a rock ’n’ roll good time.

Alright, this week we’re cranking it all the way up with Rage Against the Machine’s debut album—the one that kicked down the door in ’92 and never asked

permission. It’s raw, it’s pissed off, and it still hits like a punch in the face today. This is the soundtrack of a generation that didn’t trust the system and sure as hell wasn’t gonna play nice. After that, hang tight for Staff Picks—because you never know what kind of left-field gem I’m gonna pull out of the crate. And of course, we’ll wrap it all up with The Year That Was 1992, because if you’re gonna understand this record, you gotta understand the world it was born into.

Episode 14 is all about Depeche Mode’s seventh studio album, and in my opinion, this one’s in their top two—dark, moody, and absolutely flawless. I’ve got my part-time co-host Princess Amy riding shotgun with me as we tear into this record and what makes it so damn good. After that, we’ll roll into my favorite part of the show, the always unpredictable staff picks, and then close it out with a dive into the year that was 1990. Then we’ll wrap this sucker up the only way we know how.

Then we’ll roll into The Year That Was 1989 before wrapping things up with my closing call to action. So sit back in the way back machine and let me take you on a ride back to 1989.

This is where it all began, raw and full of that early fire that changed music forever. After we break it down, I’ll roll into my favorite part of the show — the staff picks — before taking you on a ride through the year that was 1963. Buckle up, this one’s where history really starts to hum.
