The Flood Rats return to talk Dizzy Up The Girl, Robby v. Jonny, and how the nostalgia cycle is catching up with the late 90s.  Chart talk includes Lauryn Hill, Oasis, and Soul Coughing.

It's not an episode about James L. Brooks, but this is just about As Good As It Gets for alternative rock in 1998. The boys talk about the hits and misses of Hole's third album, and then they move on to the misses and misses of the modern rock chart.

Suffer suffer, it don't get no rougher; we're talking Steven Rock, Ed Rap, and Steve Tyler today.

Note: In this episode, we incorrectly refer to the Barenaked Ladies live album as Rock Spectacular. It is in fact called Rock Spectacle.

This is not the open road song, this is the heart in a blender song! Joining the boys this week is special guest and #1 Eve 6 fan of all time, Nick Bertsos! On the charts this week, it may not be the holiday season, but we'll check in with neoclassical new age juggernaut Mainsteam Reimholer. 

The Goo Goo Boys are back! This time, with leather and telescopes! Travel with us to the City of Angels where a literal city of angels gather together to sing in unison to this classic hit.

Some great bands made it through the 90s without a single Modern Rock #1, including Thoughts On Pod favorite Stone Temple Pilots. In this epic special, the sour boys devour STP's entire 90s catalog and spit out the Core.  This is a rerun of an episode from August 2020.

Don't put that cloak of elvenkind away just yet, there's a round of DND to be had with Semisonic. Explore the boys' strange, fine feelings about these sophisticated industry plants, then stick around to find out how many Nicolas Cage movies there are!

New listener contest: Tell us if there's anything to say about "The Way" by Fastball! Please! Anyway, if you wanna skip to the charts, we understand; the podcast vaunteth not itself.

1998, baybee!  The boys start the year with a Cloak Encounter of the Elvenkind.  Join St. Joe on the bus and ride to the Marcy Playground, where there are bogbeans for all.

This week on the pod, it's Beck II: Revenge of the Beckmen! Grab a hot dog and pop a NoDoz as the boys look back on a wildly silly album. Then, stick around for a rare and extended look beyond the usual purview of the pod and into the forbidden world of Spring 2000 featuring an unforgettable tale of romance and some tasty nu metal.
