You Forgot One

In our latest bonus episode, we sit down with our friend Michael Washburn to discuss one of the great 90's albums, August and Everything After by the Counting Crows. Join us for a conversation about this album's strengths, weaknesses, and longevity. Is this an all-time great album, or just a good 90's album? Is it timeless, or perpetually stuck in the coffee-house rock of 1991-1996?

On today's bonus episode, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Nirvana's Nevermind. We look at the meteoric rise of Nirvana and their tragic end with friend of the pod and Nirvana biographer, Gillian Gaar. Gillian has written numerous books on Nirvana and Sub Pop Records that are worth checking out. 

In our second bonus episode, we compare lists of the best albums celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. We are looking back at 1971 with our return guests, Elizabeth Nelson and Timothy Bracy from the band The Paranoid Style. The Paranoid Style has recently finished recording their latest album, due out in November.

In our first bonus episode of the Fall of 2021, we sit down with radio professional and emo enthusiast, Amanda Allwood, to discuss the golden-era of Emo music. We talk about what emo is, how to define it, and explore our lists of best ten albums of Emo.

As we look back at our first season of You Forgot One, we rank our first 25 albums, and we are joined by our friends Matt and Samer from Super Awesome Mix to hear our first season mixtape. A huge thank you to all of our guests, indie record stores, and our sponsor, Anchor, for a great first season. We will be back in two weeks with bonus episodes. Season two will begin in January 2022.

On our 25th episode, we debate the best album by Sly and The Family Stone, and to a larger extent debate our competing instincts about what makes a great album. This is our final album inclusion of season one, and provides us with our 25th album. Join us next week for a recap of season one and to hear about our plans for season two.

On our 24th episode, we dive into Marvin Gaye's masterpiece, What's Going On. It's arguably the greatest album ever made, but is it also a work of prophecy? We are joined by the Reverend Tommy Rodgers to discuss Marvin's most spiritual work. As always, we encourage you to check out our independent record store of the week, Motown's own, Peoples Records.

In our latest episode, we go back to the foundations of rock music with the one and only Chuck Berry. As always, we encourage you to check out our independent record store of the week, Portland, Oregon's Mississippi Records.

In this week's bonus episode we hear the pilot episode of internationally syndicated radio program, The Island Hour, co-hosted by previous guest Roger Steffens.

In our 22nd episode, we are joined by the foremost Bob Marley historian, Roger Steffens, to discuss Bob Marley and The Wailers album, Exodus. Roger is the author or co-author of seven books about Bob Marley, including So Much Things To Say; The Oral History of Bob Marley.
