Rock Talk turns 5! Thank you all so much for your continued interest and support!

In this episode, we discuss Led Zeppelin's 1975 North American Tour, which we previously covered way back in Episode 3, but I wanted to discuss it again to commemorate the 50th anniversary. It's the first year of live Zeppelin I got into back in high school, so I've always had a soft spot for it, and with it being five years since we last talked about it, my opinions have shifted some...

I also ranked the 1975 versions of "No Quarter" back in Episode 40 — one of my personal favourite episodes to create!

In this episode, we discuss Led Zeppelin's double album, 'Physical Graffiti,' in belated celebration of the 50th anniversary of its February 24, 1975 release. It's rare for me to do one of these album deep-dives these days, but an over-the-top album warrants an over-the-top episode, right?

NFL Draft season is upon us, so I thought I would come up with my "first round picks" for a few of my favourite artists, thus the unconventional "Top 32." Last week was the Rolling Stones, so it's only fitting that we tackle the Beatles this week.

As with my Stones list, I tried to stick to my personal favourites as the criteria, as opposed to "best" or "most impressive," so there are bound to be some surprising inclusions, as well as omissions...

NFL Draft season is upon us, so I thought I would come up with my "first round picks" for a few of my favourite artists, thus the unconventional "Top 32." We'll start with the Rolling Stones, but I'm planning on covering the Beatles and Led Zeppelin as well.

I tried to stick to my personal favourites as the criteria, as opposed to "best" or "most impressive," so there are sure to be some surprising inclusions, as well as omissions — you can't always get what you want...

In this episode, I go over the factors I consider when determining what to wear to a concert. A friend of mine interviewed me about this for a school assignment of hers last week, and I had so much fun crafting my answers that I decided to record them!

In this episode, I review the Goose concert I attended here in Toronto last week. It was my first time seeing them, and I really enjoyed it! I highly recommend checking them out...

Welcome to Season 10! In this episode — fitting for Valentine's Day weekend — we dive into one of my favourite Bob Dylan songs, "Simple Twist Of Fate," in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the release of 'Blood On The Tracks,' the album it hails from.

In this, the Season 9 finale — as we've done for 1972 and 1973 the past two years, respectively — we rank the 1974 Grateful Dead shows in celebration of the 50th anniversary of that venerable year in their live history.

This will likely be the last time I undertake this exercise, as they only played four shows during their "hiatus" in 1975, and both my interest and expertise in post-hiatus Dead is considerably less.

However, 1975 is one of my favourite years for live Led Zeppelin, controversial as that may be, so look forward to lots of content on that front in the new year...

Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In this episode, we discuss the second instalment in the Rolling Stones' legendary four-album run from 1968-72, that being 'Let It Bleed,' released on this day in 1969. Few albums so accurately capture the mood of their time, and even fewer hit just as close to home 55 years later as they did on release day...
