May 20, 2021 UAWIL #25: Asia - Part 1 Asia 1982
in 1982, Asia formed as the 80s first super group with Carl Palmer from Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Steve Howe of Yes, Geoff Downes of The Buggles and John Wetton of King Crimson, Uriah Heep and Roxy Music. Though maligned as corporate rock, these four progressive maestros created an incredible mix of pop, rock & prog that went on to sell 10 million copies. Heat of the Moment is an all-time great pop/rock song and has allowed the band to continue in various incarnations over the last 40 years. This is part 1 of our series on Asia, where we go in-depth on the chart topping debut.

May 13, 2021 UAWIL #24: Aerosmith - Pandora's Box
By the early 90s, Aerosmith were back on top of the world after a crossover collaboration with Run DMC and two hit records in the late 80s. But in the 70s, Aerosmith hit the scene with an amazing hard, bluesy sound that was all over the radio and concert venues. Excess led to their demise but Pandora's Box captured all that incredible music on a 3 disc set that is absolutely amazing. We review our experience discovering hidden gems along with their greatest hits and analyze how they made the biggest comeback in rock history.

May 11, 2021 Preview: Aerosmith - Pandora's Box Set
Here's a 5 minute preview of UAWIL #24 on Aerosmith's box set Pandora's box. We preview the 1991 set and how it helped us appreciate Aerosmith in the 70s and early 80s. And we explain why we were gone for a week due to a ring of the door bell, an overexcited dog, a full glass of water and a laptop.

April 30, 2021 UAWIL #23: Duran Duran
MTV played a significant role in the lives of American youths in the early 1980s. It was no different for the Wolf or Action Jackson as this new format opened up a world of culture we wouldn't have otherwise been exposed to. Duran Duran, with their new wave fashion, pin-up looks and funky pop songs took the video genre to a whole new level and secured their place in pop culture.

April 22, 2021 UAWIL #22: Keith Richards - Talk is Cheap & Main Offender
Keith Richards is one of the legendary icons of rock n roll. Everyone knows him as a guitar god, for having written so many great Stones songs and as a raconteur. But his solo albums, though few and under appreciated, offer some of his best work as a singer and writer. We dissect 1988's Talk is Cheap & 1992's Main Offender while exploring songs he sang on Stones albums and recalling a fun time in our lives.

April 15, 2021 UAWIL #21: The Cult - Love
The Cult may have been catapulted into the spotlight and on MTV with Fire Woman from Sonic Temple. But they shaped their sound best on their 2nd album, Love. Released in 1985, it contained solid radio hits like She Sells Sanctuary and Rain but it was a cohesive record that established their hard rock, psychedelic, atmospheric sound which is hard to imitate and to define. This is a go to record for The Wolf and the best album by Action Jackson's favorite band.

April 08, 2021 UAWIL #20: YES - Progressive Rock Heroes
YES came out of the 60s and forged their own identity through extraordinary musicianship, intricate songs and fantastic artwork. While some hits have kept them on classic rock for decades, the different eras and lineups over the last 50 years have created a catalog like none other. So whether you like the 20 minute epics, the uber popular Owner of a Lonely Heart or don't know much about the band, our examination will peel back some layers and appreciate this special group.

April 01, 2021 UAWIL #19: Metallica - The Black Album
Prior to 1988, Metallica hadn't made a video for MTV & couldn't get on rock radio. The release of One changed that but it was the release of 1991's Metallica (The Black Album) that forever changed their fate & fortunes. With 5 hit singles & a 2.5 year worldwide tour, Metallica usurped Guns n Roses as the biggest band in the world and never looked back. We recall seeing them on that tour, our memories of the album and what it means to us today.

March 25, 2021 UAWIL #18: U2 - The Joshua Tree
Before The Joshua Tree, U2 were upstart heroes looking to conquer, and make a difference in, the world. Thanks to some amazing songs, brilliant production and constant promotion by MTV, this album skyrocketed them to superstar status and gave them the platform to not only branch out into other forms of music but allow them to have a positive impact around the globe.

March 18, 2021 UAWIL #17: KISS Alive II
Released in 1976, KISS Alive! changed the fortunes of KISS and transitioned them from a strong opening act to an international headliner. This success forced the band to come up with the goods in the studio and they were up to the task with Destroyer, Rock & Roll Over and Love Gun. These records gave us songs that would strengthen KISS's hold on the public and allow them to tour for decades. Alive II captures the best songs from the catalog with the band at the height of their powers before success and excess changed the band forever. It's overlooked vs. Alive! but stands on it's own and the test of time.
