_Led Zeppelin IV_ is *Led Zeppelin’s* untitled 1971 masterpiece that blends hard rock, blues, and folk into eight iconic tracks, including “Black Dog,” “Rock and Roll,” “Stairway to Heaven,” and “When the Levee Breaks.” Often called the definitive heavy rock album, it pairs mystical lyrics and acoustic moments with thunderous riffs and drums, showcasing the band at the peak of its power. _Anthem of the Peaceful Army_ is *Greta Van Fleet’s* 2018 debut album, a retro-inspired rock record that mixes big vocals, bluesy riffs, and 1970s-style production across songs like “When the Curtain Falls,” “You’re the One,” and “Age of Man.” It plays like a modern classic-rock concept album, touching on themes of nature, spirituality, and environmental and social consciousness while showcasing the band’s youthful energy and throwback sound.

🎙️ Welcome to Two Fat Guys and an Album …the only fat guys podcast that matters! 🎧🎸 This week, Mike Blackburn and Maestro Brek Hufnus are diving into Jane’s Addiction’s alt-rock breakthrough, Nothing’s Shocking 🔥—a landmark in alternative and art rock that helped shape the sound of late ’80s and early ’90s music.

From its explosive energy to its cultural legacy (hello, Lollapalooza), Nothing’s Shocking left a permanent mark on rock history. On Side Two, the guys check in on King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and their sprawling psychedelic jam-prog record Phantom Island 🌴🐉.
