The History of Rock

We learn that Shim really doesn't like Alice In Chains. He respects them and their talents, but he doesn't like the music. That's okay though, because Brandon LOVES Alice In Chains, so it all balances out.

As the guys wrap up the discussion on Nirvana's Nevermind they talk about the connection to the Beastie Boys and go over the reviews the album received after it was released.

For a lot of people, Nirvana’s Nevermind is THEE album that introduced them to “grunge”. The guys discuss the beginnings of the album and bringing on Dave Grohl.

The rock world lost a great man on March 25th, 2022 when Oliver Taylor Hawkins died while on tour in South America with the Foo Fighters.

The guys go through more of the details of the Badmotorfinger album, including it's reception and reviews.

Soundgarden’s breakthrough album, Badmotorfinger, was released just after Pearl Jam’s Ten, and featured hits like Rusty Cage, Outshined, and Jesus Christ Pose.

We dig deeper into Pearl Jam's debut album, including learning about the mini-opera contained within.

In the wake of the death of Andrew Wood and the one-off album by Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam was born.

Shim and Brandon continue to discuss Temple of the Dog, while also getting sidetracked on a variety of topics, including other band names Shim and Sick Puppies toyed with.

Temple of the Dog was created by Chris Cornell and former members of Mother Love Bone as a tribute to the late Mother Love Bone front man Andrew Wood.
