We are going through the top 500 Albums according to Rolling Stone magazine. We talk about each album and we also give dating advice to our single friend. So far the advice has been bad enough that we are still recording on Friday nights. Call and leave a message on the Beck Line. 802-277-BECK. We just want to be famous. Is that so much to ask?

263. and 266. The Beatles: A Hard Day's Night (1964) and Help! (1965)
AUDIO FIXED. Thanks to our fans for pointing this out to me in lots of texts. I loved it.    Hey everyone. We are getting double teamed by the Beatles this week and it might make us cream our eyes out. We combined these two albums so we don't go insane. I wish I would have done the history of the album before each one but we still get to hear about Flavor Savers, the Best Christmas Movies, and having sharp bones.  We talk about the benefits of breaking up, we talk to Beck Claus, and reflect back on our busy 2025.  Next week we are talking Pink Floyd, "Wish you were here" and we question our sanity for the 264th time.    802 277 BECK

261. Beastie Boys: Check Your Head (1993)
Folks, we are ditching our guests and talking about the Beastie Boys 3rd album and it will make you say "DAMN!"    We talk about our various types of whips, the worst airplane movies, and Rob tries to talk Pat O'Brien.   Then we sing along with Snow and go on a comment rabbit hole. Rob goes on a winning streak, Matt talks inflatables, and Big Daddy takes on the big Easy.    Then we talk the boys playing their own instruments, the great music of the 90s, and whether or not an eclectic album is a good thing.    Next week we are talking New Order "Power, Corruption, and Lies" and you should also listen to some versions of Blue Monday!   802 277 BECK

Listen. We know you are not here to hear what we have to say. You are here because you are HUGE The Slits fans. We get a pleasureable voicemail where Russ has to face his greatest letdowns, Aaron tells his most pathetic story ever, and we ask if there are any good restaurants in Edina that won't make you wait!    Then we talk about the Slits and the best female punk bands from Kurt Cobain's journal.  Next week we are talking Beastie Boys: Check your Head!802 277 BECK

259. Janis Joplin: Pearl (1971)
We talk about one of the greatest voices of our generation and of course I am talking about Russ and why he won't come to NYC for thanksiving (being forced to go to parades.)   We are talking about Janis Joplin- Pearl and we are blown away by the album. Great music, great voice, and just like Matt's love- language, the album is a touching tribute to a singer who died before the release.   Aaron went to an 85 yeart olds birthday party and Rob is being disrepectful. Then we talk our favorite port arthur texas alums and explore Janis' short but bright career.  Then I add on 10 minutes of the George Micheal's epsode at the end.    802 277 BECK

We have lots of fun lists this episode that everyone loves and does NOT get mad at. We get a voicemail about the problem with listening to our podcast, why my. mouth is so weak, and  Aaron's bad day coaching.  Then Russ takes us on a tour of his day which will shock you and your liver. Then lets all adjust our tone, grab our ice cream and talk Joni Mitchell, famous flautists, and shortlived grammy categories.    Next week we hit the JJs with Janis Joplin and Pearl.  Call 802 277 BECK

I would like to report a crime. That this is so low on this list! (High number)    We listen to folky Bob Dylan and it whips ass! Before we become the 1 millionth podcast to (barely) talk Bob Dylan we have a few other very important things to talk about.    We talk gambling, the death of Single Russell, we get a voicemail about Taylor Swift, and Matt and Rob's time in the city.    Then we get into the scariest songs according to Billboard Magazine, Paul McCartney Live, and candy packs.  Then we break down the album and its just great.

D'Angelo- Brown Sugar (1995) Tribute to D'Angelo (Originally Aired 3/19/24)
Hello, one more ep for D'Angelo but as I was listening to this, I realized what a canon episode this is. Shoplifting from the airport, going to watch the State of the Union Address, plus a Big Bopper call. I also left all of Russell's original notes in the episode because they are brilliant.      We are the world. We are children. We are the ones who make the best podcast about D'Angelo and the 183rd greatest album of all time, Brown Sugar, so you should start listening.1   Before we get to the music, we provide our rebuttal to the State of the Union with some discussion about the Wizard of Oz, the keys to good hospitality, and 44 days of amazing music in 1991.2  We're also your accountability buddy when it comes to airport etiquette when we chat about security checkpoint stops and normalizing kiosk shoplifting.   Then at (55:00) this podcast takes a smooth turn when we discuss D'Angelo's 1995 debut studio album Brown Sugar. We discuss D'Angelo's double entendres, the Voodoo sound, and the best weed songs ever.3   Next week we just want to have fun when we become the best Cyndi Lauper podcast and cover her 1983 debut studio album, She's So Unusual.    1. The opening of this writeup was a play on words from the song We Are the World, which was covered in the 2024 Documentary, The Greatest Night in Pop.   2. If our discussion of the 7 Legendary Rock Albums that were released in 44 days gives you the perfect body feeling, then reading this article reference will put a little mustard on it.   3. If you think this video of Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson singing Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die deserves a two-star rating then you probably should've just left this podcast about 15 minutes earlier.

Hey everybody, welcome to KJAZZ where we are talking one of the best selling Jazz albums of all time (until 1980.). We talk cooling mint, library stress, getting harassed by fans on the plane, and why you should go to that funeral.    Then we become the best Herbie Hancock podcast of all time and talk the merging of Jazz and Funk to make one of the best vibe albums of all time. We also explore the world of Stars on 76 and the songs that lost the 1981 best R and B album.    Next up, we are going to do a replay... but after that! We are doing the Freewheeling Bob Dylan.

253. Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)
Hey... come on in, sit back, and take your socks off and enjoy the Pink Floyd album you have never heard nor heard a song off of.    This is the episode where someone took 100 mg of the limitless drug and decided to host a podcast. We visit   iwaspoisoned.com.    and figure out the worst place to get tilapia before our flight to Chicago, find a new kind of Cheerios, and we are on a diet so we will just have the broccoli.  Aaron buys a fridge that has a message about Grannies in your Area (sorry Mother in Laws) and we read a literal message to a granny!     Then we listen to a psychedelic rock album that makes us think about Aereola 51 and we reach for the stars on a list about the greatest space rock. Then we listen to some weird british stuff that was recorded in the same place as Sgt. Pepper.    Then there is nothing at the end so don't listen if you are related to me.  Next week, we go bananas for Herbie Hancock Head Hunters.

252. Devo: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978)
We know you like it extra SLOPPY.    The first 25 min are the worst show we have ever done. Then Aaron saves the day.  We mostly come up with things to tell Aaron later like Maxim magazine, our fantasy teams, and the Charlie Sheen documentary. Aaron talks carpooling, sloppy joes, and we find out how much beef jerky is in our houses... Rob talks about dispensing justice, the career of Mark Mothersbaugh, and how Devo combined punk and new wave.    Matt highly recommends the Devo documentary and I recommend leaving a voicemail at 218 341 BECK.  Next week. We talk Pink Floyd and Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
