Welcome to a brand new podcast where we take a deep dive into some of the most beloved, renowned, and influential albums by artists of all genres and styles.
Automatic for the People by R.E.M.
Is it okay for a band or a song to become “meme-ified”? In the case of R.E.M., we definitely think so! The 8th studio album from the Athens, Georgia-based group is full of empathetic lyrics about mortality loss, nostalgia, and mourning, that all can relate to.

Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
“Heaven or Las Vegas” is the 6th album by Scottish dream pop band Cocteau Twins, and their most critically acclaimed. Like the city itself, this release has an otherworldly yet grounded element despite quite a few incomprehensible and misheard lyrics.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Released in 1975 as the 18th studio album by Willie Nelson, Red Headed Stranger is a concept album about a man who kills his wife and her lover and goes on the run. The album gave Willie his first #1 hit as a singer and cemented him as one of the most important and recognized artists in country music at the time.

Songs from the Big Chair by Tears for Fears
As we discuss in this episode, when we think of 80s music, we think of big sweeping synths, gated reverb poured over the drums, and a twinge of darkness covering lyrics sung in a poppy, ear-catching way…in other words, we think of this album! Join us in our second-to-last episode of Season 2 as we explore the multi-platinum selling Songs from the Big Chair which Tears for Fears released in 1985, right in the middle of the decade.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
After 2 albums and varying success, American rock outfit Blondie released “Parallel Lines” in 1978, blending multiple styles and finding mainstream recognition. By diving into this album, we attempt to answer the age-old question: do we love the 80s or do we actually love the 50s??
