Australia is a unique country and one that has produced some amazing music. On this episode we celebrate the music of the magical land. Our special guest, a real Australian - Will Foster, talks about some of his favorite bands on the "Pub Rock" scene. If you are hoping to hear us talk about Men at Work, AC DC, or the Bee Gees your hopes will be dashed. Lots of great music to be discovered on this fabulous edition of Vinyl Ventures.

John and Jay explore the records that brought bands back into the spotlight they used to bask in. Just... don't tell LL Cool J we used THAT word in the title, John lost our thesaurus and we couldn't think of another word.

We all have favorite bands and favorite records, and those favorites can change from time to time, depending on a lot of things.  This time around the horn the guys step out on a ledge and rank the studio releases from the mighty Led Zeppelin. 
With only 9 albums, one might think that this would be an easy task.  Alas, no...it is not!
Favorites or not, the crew manages to put Zeppelin's oeuvre in order of preference.  Song-to-song, artwork,  and many other details come into play as the guys try to agree on an order that does justice to one of the most respected catalogs in rock n' roll history.

"O Canada" did not become the official Canadian national anthem until 1980 with the passage of the National Anthem Act. As National anthems go, it is a beautiful song. On O Canada the Vinyl Ventures crew share some of their favorite Canadian Artists. 

For this show Blame Canada like the parents of a juvenile character in the 1999 animated film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut did. The film featured a satirical song "Blame Canada", the parents, decide to blame Canada for the trouble their children are getting into since watching a Canadian-made film. The song was nominated for an Oscar, it did not win. Or even better yet Blame Vinyl Ventures!

We sometimes take for granted the thought, inspiration, and investment that artists and their record companies put into how albums are presented. 
The guys take it for granted no longer, and share some of their favorite album packages and artwork. 
The album is an art form, in and of itself.  The package finally gets it's due in this first of what will likely be many Nice Package! episodes.

 The Vinyl Ventures crew wraps up their Essential Album shows with the 10th installment. What started as a discussion list in the summer of 2021 has become some of the most popular shows on Vinyl Ventures. 100 albums each seems easy when you have a a few thousand in the collection. But in practice with each show it gets a little more challenging as some artists and bands get left off the list. It's a wrap on the Essential lists and this show is a great one.

Greatest hits albums are sometimes snubbed by the vinyl community.  Often these collections are a cash grab by record companies, and artists can be left out of the decision  making process.  Occasionally an artist sees their sales, presence and notoriety grow from Greatest Hits releases.  It’s a mixed bag across the industry for sure.  For the Vinyl Ventures crew, when to buy a Greatest Hits album versus albums in an artist’s catalog comes down to how they feel about the group. 
Some albums are essential, even if it is an artist that doesn't fully resonate with a listener. Picking which ones to buy Best-Ofs from and and which ones to do a deep catalog dive into is in the ears of the beholder. On this episode the guys recommend some of their favorite Greatest Hits Collections.

She Sides is the long-overdue show the Vinyl Ventures crew admittedly should have already done...many episodes ago.  This time we're honoring and recognizing great female performers and bands who have made a mark on our musical tastes. 
We may have left some off but we'll undoubtedly re-visit this topic and do more shows that celebrate our favorite "She Sides".
It just may be one small step for women and one giant leap for womankind.
