November 27, 2022 94 - Elton John: Honky Chateau
After releasing two solid hits in 1970, his self titled album and Tumbleweed Connection, Elton John’s next album Madman Across the Water didn’t exactly sell well. So with help from his main writer Bernie Taupin, and his trusty backing band, he went to the Chateau d’Herouville in France, did a large worth of dope and recorded one of the best singer/songwriter albums of the 1970s, let alone of all time! Let’s discuss with the theater kids about the “Honky Chateau”!

November 20, 2022 93 - The Police: Reggatta de Blanc

November 14, 2022 92 - Mamma Mia!
One of the most famous musicals to come out of the turn of the century, well as one of the most famous jukebox musicals, this one’s infamous for how popular it is, and how most the songs don’t have to do with the plot. And the movie is no different. Let’s talk Mamma Mia!

November 07, 2022 91 - ABBA: Arrival
I mean what is there to say about this album, let alone this band? It sports what is perhaps the greatest pop song ever known to humanity, and everything else slaps too! Which I’m sure can be said for every ABBA album. Let’s talk about “Arrival”!

October 31, 2022 90 - Catch Me if You Can
You may be thinking the 2002 Spielberg film starring Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks about a young con artist who conned millions of dollars before his 19th birthday is a strange thing to adapt to musical form.

That’s it.
