#163 - Neu! - 75

On this weeks episode the Indie 500 boys go 75 down the Autobahn with German duo Neu! They discuss what makes a band hard rock or metal? Forget that they have to do the Multiverse of Bad Lists segment, take sides in the UK's civil conflict of the 1970s, talk various split solo albums stapled together, whether Kraut Rock is a slur, and slander the drummer from Three Doors Down and Nickelback. And a special celebrity guest puts his meat on our grills. Lass uns gehen!p.s. Breddy really likes to say Tangerine Dream
