Kingcow and "The Blob" review an album side and let you hear what we heard growing up.
Episode 294:  Phil Collins / Hello, I Must Be Going
This is the second solo album from Phil Collins.  Not as dark as his first one, Face Value, this one offers a couple of hits on side 1.  Kingcow likes his sound both solo, and with his band Genesis.

Episode 293 :  Caravan Palace / Chronologic
Heather plays side 2 of this band's fourth album.  Kingcow liked this side better than the first....but, he doesn't have good taste.  Enjoy this, Rhetoricians.

Episode 292:  The Police / Zenyatta Mondatta
Kingcow played this, the third album, by The Police.  Zenyatta Mondatta is a really catchy album.  The tracks are all upbeat and there is a funky baseline playing through every song.  Kingcow enjoyed this one when it came out in 1980.  Heather seemed to enjoy her listening experience.

Episode 291:  The J. Geils Band / Freeze-Frame
The Crafty DM pulled a first and didn't know it...Kingcow had played this for The Blob a couple of years earlier.  You can listen and hear another person's take on this nice piece of vinyl.  Maybe, someday we'll play the second side.

Episode 290:  Michael Jackson / Off The Wall
Kingcow decided to play this 1979 masterpiece for The Crafty DM.  Michael's fifth album is easily his best up to this time.  What he learned on this he would use later on "Thriller".  If you haven't heard this you're in for a treat.  Happy Easter!  Praise Jesus!

Episode 289:  Caravan Palace / Chronologic
Heather brought this, the fourth album, from electro swing group Caravan Palace.  Kingcow had a bit of a hard time wrapping his head around this one.  Maybe you'll hear more than he did.

Episode 288:  Sugarhill Gang / Sugarhill Gang
This debut album featured the first rap song to crack the top 40.  In 1979, "Rapper's Delight" was that song and in the beginning of '80 peaked at 36.  Enjoy this one, Rhetoricians!

Episode 287:  Duran Duran / Rio (Side 2)
Heather plays the second side of this album.  Overall, Rio is surprisingly good.  Kingcow learned to like this sound and was unsure why it didn't appeal to him early on.

Episode 286:  Pink Floyd / Dark Side Of The Moon
Kingcow brought this classic album.  Surprisingly, Heather wasn't really familiar with it.  This piece of vinyl is awesome!  While early on, Kingcow was not a fan of Pink Floyd, he grew to appreciate and enjoy them.  Rhetoricians rejoice as Pink Floyd is played on Vinyl Rhetoric for the first time since Episode 9.

Episode 285:  Duran Duran / Rio
Heather brought the sophomore release from Duran Duran.  Kingcow remembers when this came out.  Heather said it was almost an island album for her.  Let us know the five albums you would like to be stuck on a deserted island with.  Cheers!
