Whenever I think my taste in music is questionable, I just pop on this podcast and I’m reminded “no, it could be worse”. I’m convinced this nasally-sounding host doesn’t appreciate anything that doesn’t have a barre chord in it. There is such a distinct lack of understanding of how music works, and how your results may vary. And it furthers my argument that saps that still worship the days of ‘hair metal’ are clueless about anything else. Someone book this guy a room in Vegas with Eddie Trunk, a... more
Nerdy facts, great clips and cool rock and roll vibes
This show is awesome. I started listening to this show in early 2021. This show has turned me onto many bands including, Starz, Angel, Piper, Trigger & Thin Lizzy to name a few. Thanks BJ for that.
I really miss this podcast and wish it would come back. I really enjoyed the unpretentious and unselfconscious love for music.
One of my favorite music podcasts. So much great music in past episodes. I recommend checking out any episodes available... Pagliaro, power pop, Cheap Trick, Soul Asylum, Wildhearts, so many more. BJ is incredibly knowledgeable about the music he is passionate about and makes for a great time listening with some laughs
