Lost to a mystical dimension, this episode has been recovered, as if by faerie magic. Recorded not long after Dave and Lex's Favorite Bowie Non-Singles episode, this 2+ hour glam-o-rama continues their discussion of diamondy, tricksy pioneers of that special '70s sound... with the arguable king of glam rock: Marc Bolan. Strap in. Let's get it on and bang a gong. It's the T. Rex universe.

We stumbled across the idea in our very first episode, and then unearthed it with its recent remaster...

In this episode, we gather up our favorite songs with "Ballad Of" in the title. Most are true story-songs, as traditional ballads should be, but others are ballads in name only. It's a loosey-goosey exploration of theme, with more than a few trips down memory lane.

Did we forget a great Ballad Of? You know where to tell us!

Chrissie Hynde's gravitational presence put her right at the heart of rock & roll's most famous scenes over and over again. And that happened before she recorded her first Pretenders album. Lex and Dave devote over two hours to the indisputable Queen of Cool, who paved the way for the raw energy sound of '90s female rock stars. From the streets of Ohio to the streets of London, this tale tracks the birth, death, and afterlife of punk. Unfasten your safety pins!
