In this week’s episode of The Vinyl Curriculum, Logan and Jim take a deep dive into Billy Joel’s iconic album Piano Man. From the heartfelt storytelling of the title track to the vivid characters scattered throughout the record, Jim passionately breaks down Joel’s genius — while Logan, as usual, keeps his trademark poker face. His lack of emotion drives Jim up the wall as he tries to get Logan to feel the music instead of just analyzing it. The result? A hilarious mix of frustration, laughter, and genuine appreciation for one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time.

This week on The Vinyl Curriculum, Logan and Jim spin back to the early 1990s — a transformative era when alternative rock broke through the mainstream and redefined the sound of a generation. From the gritty Seattle grunge scene to jangly college radio hits and boundary-pushing indie acts, we trace how bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., and The Smashing Pumpkins shaped music history and influenced countless artists that followed.

We’ll unpack the cultural movements, sonic experimentation, and rebellious energy that fueled this alt-rock explosion — plus share personal stories and deep-cut recommendations you won’t want to miss.
