In our latest, we’re giving the final(?) #Genesis album its due.

Ray Wilson had to step into shoes vacated by Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. He knocked it out of the park!

Plus, a musical performance that bridges multiple eras of Genesis!

Happy Birthday Caetano Veloso!

He’s one of Michael’s favorites, and if you’re unfamiliar, Michael suggests starting with these four albums:

Check out our episode about the only #Megadeth album Michael has heard (so far). It’s an over-hated pop-rock gem!

Also, hear Ralph transform Megadeth’s “Wanderlust” into something… funky?

I told someone we were going to be doing an episode on a #Genesis album and they asked “Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins?”

My exact response:
Willem Dafoe grinning mischievously in one of the Spider-Man movies. And speaking of Spider-Man… Did you know there was a Spider-Man musical?

It’s so strange that novels are republished with updated cover art every few years, but bad album covers stick around forever.

Like, this monstrosity is forever attached to one of the best Aretha Franklin albums:

Honestly, nu-metal and brostep were meant to be combined. Check out our episode on KoRn’s over-hated album THE PATH OF TOTALITY and let us convince you to give it another chance.

Willie Colon had a similar idea: This album’s title translates to “I'll kill him if you don't buy this record.”
