About this listen

 A few years ago my best friend gifted me a big red book. "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". I made a plan to listen to every single one of them and learn more about who made them and how. This podcast helps me do that, as I will run down the 500 Albums, that were selected by a panel of music journalists, critics and musicians who have shaped the popular music industry since the 1950s. Every week I will tell you about a new album, the artist and the story behind it. Are you in for the ride? Then give it a spin!

    #487: Hüsker Dü - New Day Rising
    May 31 2021

    In January of 1985, American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, released their third studio album, New Day Rising. This Minneapolis trio played savagely emotional hardcore punk, thus creating a roar like as if a garbage truck was trying to sing Beach Boys songs. The anthems on this album were an inspiration to many in the alternative rock genre to come.

    #488: Kiss - Destroyer
    Apr 26 2021

    On March 5th 1976, American hard rock band Kiss, released their fourth studio album, Destroyer. By the time of the release, Kiss were the most popular band in America, with sold-out stadium tours, their own pinball machines, makeup line and TV movie. This ridiculous over-the-top party-rock album just gets better with age.
