Nirvana launched a revolution in 1991. By 1997, that revolution had become a trend. A very bad trend. The Curmudgeons hold their noses while examining Creed, Nickelback, Bush and other lousy bands of the post-grunge era.

Bob Dylan might be 80 years old now, but his music stays forever young. Because the rock universe can't stop, won't stop covering his songs. The Curmudgeons present 10 interesting Dylan covers for discussion, with artists ranging from Eddie Vedder to Elvis Presley.

In which we consult with special guest Chan Hyeon Park, an actual Korean person, to analyze the international phenomenon known as K-Pop. Hint: It's not just about BTS.

In which the Curmudgeons survey the rotting bodies left on the rock 'n' roll battlefield after the rise of Nirvana in late 1991. No, we;re not just talking about Skid Row and Guns 'n' Roses here. Join us as we recount the demise of Genesis, Van Halen, Queensryche and others.

The Strokes and Guns 'n' Roses were the stuff, and then they weren't. What the hell happened? It's a question the Curmudegeons ponder as we revisit 10 earth-shaking debut albums from 10 great artists...who never came close to making the same impact ever again.

Some people think 1974 sucked, but the Curmudgeons think it was a wonderful year. Patti Smith, the Jacksons, Neil Young and more, plus we review new music by the Sleaford Mods and Ghetts.

In which the Curmudgeons welcome Johns Hopkins COVID-19 beat writer Michael Eisenstein to contemplate how exactly live music might return to popular culture following the pandemic. How to do it safely? Will people actually come back? Will the touring artists and venues actually be okay? Will trust be restored? And where are we with the virus and the public health?

In which the Curmudgeons celebrate the majesty of the concert film. Rock 'n' roll has built its legacy visually as much as audibly. Listen to our take on films featuring The White Stripes, Oasis, Talking Heads and others. Yes, we include The Last Waltz, too.

You want the best, but the Curmudgeons give you our favorites instead. Life on pandemic lockdown has us wistful for the concert experience. Here, then, is a run through fascinating live albums, from an R.E.M. bootleg to, yes, Kiss's Alive!
