Welcome to the Album Nerds podcast with your hosts, Andy, Don, and Dude.
It's showtime, Synergy.
See you on Nerds podcast.
Hi, dude.
I got Don with me.
Unfortunately, Andy is on a safari searching for the world's finest albums.
Ah, yes.
He'll be back soon.
Whenever that exhibition ends.
I thought he was just preparing for his fantasy draft.
Yeah, yeah, it could be too.
I mean, he does need to buckle down.
He hasn't been, he hasn't been winning any championships, but you know, I miss him.
So here we are, just the two of us.
And this is the Album Nerds podcast.
And we've got a great show for you today.
We're each going to discuss an album that we consider to be a hidden gem, something
that maybe has been missed by many years.
We'll discuss those.
Don's going to ask us a deep question.
It's going to ask me a deep question.
We're going to have some shout outs to some albums and album related items that we're
digging and then we're going to spin that wheel of musical discovery to find out what
we'll be talking about next time.
But this week, it's all about them gems.
Well some albums, despite their quality, do not receive the recognition or popularity
they deserve.
So today, I guess we're going to fix that problem.
And we're both going to present albums we consider to be hidden gems.
Yes.
And that's so subjective and so weird because, you know, there are really well known artists
that I think put out albums that they're considered crappy among their discography, but are still
really good, you know, or they made missteps creatively.
So what else did you consider besides your big pick?
What was on your mind grapes there, Donnie?
Well, there's one I'll mention later in digging.
So I'll save that.
But one that came to mind is an album by Pink Floyd.
Not sure if you've heard of them.
So it's probably, I'm not sure how under the radar it is, but there was an album from
1972 called Obscured by Clouds.
And it's technically a soundtrack to this French film, La Velay or something.
Bad pronunciations are Andy's job.
So filling in.
But yeah, so this was right in between metal and the dark side of the moon.
And it's really an excellent album.
And I'm sure it, I mean, it probably went platinum or something, but I just feel like
if you were new to the Pink Floyd catalog, this would not be one of the first ones you'd
end up on.
But how about you?
Yeah.
So there were a couple of things I thought about.
Blind Melon, their second album, Soup, you know, the No Rain Guys.
This is 1995, a follow up to the self titled, but Soup was dark.
The lead singer, Shannon Hoon was having some really like he had drug issues and other issues
and they were really coming to a head when they recorded this.
There's no happy hippie vibes.
It's sonically experimental.
There's zeppelin-y moments, but lots of backtrack loops and some weird stuff going on.
Critically just slaughtered at the time.
And then Shannon died about a month after its release.
It's now considered an underrated hidden gem and that they were just being super creative
and it wasn't what people wanted to hear, no rain over and over again.
Another one, you'll appreciate this Don, Hours Distorted Lullabies released in 2001.
Really intense, ethereal melodies, raw haunting vocals from Jimmy Necco.
We've talked about the band before, but this is their first official album and I still
love it.
Yeah, I enjoy it too.
Yeah, it fits in the mopey world of The Cure, but it's a little harder rocking than that.
So yeah, that's what I was thinking about as well.
I think so.
All right.
So let's get to what we actually chose.
You choo choo choose me?
I had to dig deep under the radar for this one.
You used a book.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, in fact, I found this, I don't know if we mentioned the Rocks Knob's Dictionary
before, you know, great book, you know, if you can find a copy of it.
But there's a list there of, I don't know if they call it hidden gems or under the radar
or something like that.
Yeah, underrated or something.
Yeah, but this is one of those.
So from the band Talk Talk, English band formed in London in 1981, kind of known for sort
of a new wavy synth sound.
The album is called Spirit of Eden, released in September 1988, features guitarist Mark
Hollis, vocalist guitarist Mark Hollis, Lee Harris on drums and Paul Webb on bass.
The producer, Tim Fries Green, basically co-wrote all the songs, also plays some instruments
on it.
This is a radical departure from their earlier synth pop sound.
So here's a cut called Eden.
Kind of sounds like a mashup of like Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins solo work, mashed
into one sound, at least on that song.
So you know, like the whole album, it incorporates elements of jazz, I guess, ambient and experimental
rock.
It's got a slow atmospheric buildup.
Are you sure it's not ambient and experimental rock?
Because it's a little sleepy.
Yeah, it is.
This album, I mean, the song in particular, but this album kind of reminds me of the Velvet
Underground a little bit, sort of that post rock sound, slowly building.
Almost all of the lyrics deal with spirituality and transcendence.
But this album pretty much came out of nowhere for this band.
So I mean, they had like three successful albums.
Their record label must have been just not happy.
EMI was not happy.
This is very cathedral-esque, right?
I know it's a weird connection, but I kept kind of picturing the scene in Home Alone
when Kevin is sitting on Christmas Eve alone in the church, like this kind of dimly lit
church with the kids singing, but that ethereal sort of organ sound.
It kind of seems like that's what they were going for.
It's worshipful somehow, but not specifically about any kind of higher power per se, just
the essence of life.
Well, let's hear another cut.
This is actually the final cut on the album called Wealth.
That's where I was really hearing the Peter Gabriel.
I actually kind of hear Steve Winwood or something too in his voice.
Yeah, for sure.
It's the spirit of Peter Gabriel's solo work, I think, around the same period of time, but
much more organic, I would say.
Peter Gabriel was experimenting more with sounds and technology and things, and this
seems kind of like a step back from a lot of what they were doing with the synth pop.
Although I listened to some of their older records and there are strings and moments
that you can hear this cut.
Yes, that's right.
Yeah, so the previous album, The Color of Spring in 1986, yeah, it has hints of this.
I compare it to Radiohead, so Color of Spring was OK Computer, and then this is Kid A, where
they take it and go too far with it or something.
Yeah, and I would imagine, I don't know this for sure, but this has to have been an inspiration
for Radiohead and bands like it, I would think.
Yeah, I've seen it cited.
Yeah, Radiohead, what's it?
Bon Iver, Bon Iver.
I never know how to pronounce it.
Well my clickbait headline for Spirit of Eden is Talk Talk commits commercial suicide, but
the notes they left behind live on.
Get it?
Because it's like a suicide note.
Sure.
So they killed their career.
Yeah, and they were allowed to make one more record after this, which was more of this
type of thing.
And I don't know, they stopped recording after that, but I think the first few listens, I
was like, oh, this is cool.
I mean, I guess I was more impressed that they just were doing something completely
off book.
But the more I listen to it, I actually see it as actually a really good album.
After a while, you start to recognize they're not really hooks, but there's little melodic
parts that kind of stay in your head.
And I guess it's more of an album that you experience, it's a sonic experience.
It's different from six pop songs, it's six, eight minute kind of adventures.
Yeah, definitely a tough speaker listen.
You don't hear all the details and it's easy to kind of tune out.
That's the problem with these kind of records.
Your earlier albums, lyrics were a more important part of the sound, right?
And you have long periods of little lyric to no lyric.
Sometimes it doesn't necessarily feel like the song is moving along unless you're hearing
all the little details on headphones.
Well, let's hear another track.
This is I Believe in You.
I like the bass line there.
I'd say it's the most accessible track on the album, which makes it a little more emotionally
potent I think because there's more words.
It's more traditional sounding.
It's a nice break from the, you know, heaven's opening and the angels choirs coming down
or whatever.
The melody is supported by minimalist instrumentation, which again, that's different compared to
a lot of the rest of the album.
Themes of faith and addiction, but it never really picks up pace.
It's hypnotic, I think like a lot of the album, but it is probably the most comforting to
me.
I think they actually made a video for this.
Oh my God.
This is the one the record labels like, oh, well that's the single.
Yep.
I would have picked it as the single as well.
So what was it?
Him just laying on the grass with a close up on his face in black and white or something?
I think it's just like him and a guitar for the most part.
I don't know.
So my clickbait headline to describe the album Spirit of Eden revolutionized rock and no
one noticed until years later.
You're welcome.
90s alternative.
I think this helped shape the sound of what alternative rock became, which was just basically
being willing to experiment with other sounds.
You know, there were very specific boxes in the eighties when alt rock started taking
off and those boxes were largely hip hop, dance pop, glam rock and the heavy metal stuff.
But that was off to the side a little bit too.
So yeah, I think this definitely, I can hear influences everywhere from this and I wasn't
expecting that.
I wasn't expecting much.
Yeah.
It really, it doesn't sound like 1988 to me.
No.
And what I like about it is it's still mostly traditional instruments.
You know, they're doing interesting things with the usual stuff.
It's not a lot of studio trickery.
There's not electronic noises and things like that.
So it's very organic.
That's what I appreciate about it.
So you agree that it's a hidden gem?
Yeah, I'd say so.
I mean, I certainly had never heard of it.
I'd only a little bit heard of Talk Talk mostly because of No Doubt's cover of It's My Life.
So I knew it was a British group of some kind.
That was about it.
Well, someday we'll have to ask Andy what he thinks of this record.
Yeah, I would like to know what he's thinking.
All right.
Well, so that was Talk Talk with Spirit of Eden.
All right.
Before we get to Don's deep question, we're going to hear from our friends over at the
Six Picks Music Club podcast.
Hey there, I'm Dave and I host Six Picks Music Club with my two buddies, Jeff Rowe and Russ.
We talk about six songs on a playlist that meet a theme to a topic that we've already
decided on.
Just real quick.
Do you meet themes?
Do you meet them?
Okay, no, I don't know.
I guess that what's the Russ?
Can I get a ruling on the verbal phrase?
Meet the theme, Jeff.
I don't know.
I'm not fluent in the spoken word.
People just don't say meet the theme.
They say fit a theme.
And every week we talk about six songs that fit a theme.
All right.
Okay.
Guys, we're going to have to rerecord this.
My
Okay, and Dave, don't forget, it's Six Picks Music Club, not your dark web pod, sex picks
booty grub.
Geez.
Boy, I bet there's a lot of onion busting going on on on that show.
All right.
So check them out if you want to hear about their six picks.
Excuse me.
I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Okay, well, it's time for deep questions by Don.
This week's question, where's Andy?
Just kidding.
So no, seriously, dude, what else do you enjoy that is under the radar or could be considered
a hidden gem?
The first thing that came to mind was a show from Netflix called Lily Hammer.
Oh, yeah, I know that.
I know that show.
Yes.
So Lily Hammer, I guess, I think originally was from made in Norway and the first season
was on Norwegian NRK one.
And so then they made a deal with Netflix to get it distributed.
But it was the first Netflix original series back when that was just such a new concept.
I was still getting the DVDs at the time too.
So it's a crime comedy and it was Stephen Van Zandt, little Stevie from from Bruce Springsteen
in the East Street Band.
He plays a gangster.
He was also in The Sopranos, but he plays a gangster that Frank the Fixer Tagliano tries
to start a new life in Lily Hammer in the witness protection program.
And it's a fish out of water thing, you know, with the culture and and his, you know, talking
about beautiful broads and stuff like that.
It's just it lasted like three seasons, maybe four.
I really enjoyed it and I recommend it to a lot of people, but I have run into very
few that have actually watched it.
It's funny.
It's weird the way that these nice, innocent people, even the criminals are like not as
nasty as as they typically would be.
So yeah, I think that that's kind of a hidden gem.
I think they pulled it off in Netflix, but it may have come back.
I'm not sure.
We'll have to look.
What I liked about it was because they asked him where he wanted to go for witness protection
and he thought of Lily Hammer because because of the Olympic, the Winter Olympics, I think
it was 94.
It looks like a nice place.
Didn't you see the Olympics in 94?
Clean air, fresh white snow, gorgeous broads.
It was beautiful.
So for me, I may I couldn't remember if I talked about it on air before or if I just
had the conversation with you or Andy, but also of Scandinavian origin, there's a long
game called Kube.
Yeah, that sounds.
Anyway, I'll repeat myself.
So it's just that's wouldn't be the first time.
So you basically have like these wooden blocks that you set up and you knock them over with
these like dowels or sticks.
But it's it's a cool game because there's actually some strategy, you know, like where
you place things and stuff like that.
So some people refer to it as Viking chess, but it's it's called Kube.
K-U-B-B.
Yeah.
And yeah, I think it supposedly comes from Norway or Sweden or something like that.
Cool.
And of course, a hidden gem, the album nerds podcast.
And right now, the hidden gem, Andy, got to got to find that guy.
All right, man, just call me back.
Fucking miss you.
So what do you like that's under the radar or that could be considered a hidden gem?
Let us know.
Hit us up on Instagram or Facebook or check out our website, albumnerds.com.
OK, so my hidden gem pick is by a band named Brad.
It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for some reason.
The album is called Shame from April of 1993.
Just a few months later, Versus by Pearl Jam came out.
And the reason that matters is Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam is the lead guitarist of this
band.
Also in the band, Sean Smith on vocals, Reagan Hagar on drums and Jeremy Tobak on bass.
Jeremy Tobak, Tobak.
They had to have made those jokes, right?
Low hanging fruit.
That's what we specialize in.
So why don't we check out a little bit the opening track Buttercup?
Yeah, so it's a little different in Pearl Jam, right?
Like the way he holds the ooh for like way longer than you would think he would.
And it works.
Yeah.
And the guy can sing soulful.
The lyrics are poetic and kind of ambiguous, which kind of adds to the song's mystique.
There's that vulnerability and kind of emotional depth, which Sean Smith, I think, kind of
brought to the mix here.
Buttercup kind of seems like a term of endearment, right?
So you're not my Buttercup.
But there's such sadness that it feels like clearly there's something wrong with this
relationship.
So you go into this thing, this is the first song you hear.
What were your expectations?
Were they met?
I would say they exceeded my expectations.
I didn't really have any expectations because I had not heard of Brad.
I vaguely remember the album cover, I think, which we can copy.
But yeah, I mean, the thing that struck me and I'll talk more about it in a minute, but
Sean Smith's voice is just really special.
And I don't even know who the guy is, like the band he was in, like Satchel.
That's the one.
Yeah.
The most well-known one.
I've never heard them.
So yeah, this was great.
And then the whole album just is different.
It takes you in different places and his voice goes to different places.
So I was really blown away by it.
And I'm really surprised that I had not heard anything about it before.
Yeah.
I mean, I had a buddy of mine knew about it back in 93.
Pearl Jam freak like myself.
So that's why we listened to it.
I was disappointed because I wanted it to sound like Pearl Jam.
But it doesn't.
It does not.
So that song in particular kind of exemplifies what made Brad different from other bands
of the era.
And it's more about mood and emotion than it is about filling in the grunge mold.
So why don't we jump into the second track, which actually a little more aggressive, but
still funkier than you would expect.
This one's called My Fingers.
There's shades of mother love bone there, which would have come from Gossard, I think,
anyway.
I think Gossard's guitar is the only one that's on this record.
And I like that I actually get to hear it.
Because when I hear a Pearl Jam record, I don't know if it's McCready or Gossard that
I'm hearing.
McCready tends to do the more shreddy, bluesy, rock god stuff.
And Stone Gossard is more of a, he drives the foundation.
I wouldn't say he's a rhythm guitarist, but he definitely is more in the grooves than
on the top.
Yeah.
It's really impressive.
And so that song, I think at the time it was the thing that sustained me that made me think,
okay, this is, I hear some noise and some distortion and some effects on the vocals.
But that song does showcase Stone Gossard's riff driven guitar work.
It's groovy and raw.
Jeremy's bass line is deep and it's got this nice undercurrent throughout the song.
Lyrics, like I said, are ambiguous.
It suggests maybe actions and intentions, like that your choices aren't always under
your own control.
I don't know.
It's hard to say.
And that was one of the struggles for me too.
Pearl Jam somewhat spelled it out back in those days, at least from their first record.
So my clickbait headline to describe the album, Grunge's best kept secret, Brad's Shame, the
overlooked masterpiece you need to hear.
Maybe it's not a masterpiece, but it's definitely a damn good album.
And it's not what you expect from Seattle Sound of 1993, but it's really nice that they
had the freedom to do it.
And I think that came from Gossard being like, you know what?
I can do whatever the hell I want now.
It's I mean, I guess it's debatable to what extent it's grunge, you know?
And yeah, I remember.
I mean, if grunge is even really a genre, which I'm not convinced it is.
Yeah, because I definitely was not really going there in the first listens.
But I was actually, I was listening in my office and a student came in and they said,
oh, is this Nirvana?
I'm like, what?
What?
And I guess they must have something that it must have been some particular part that
they might just be looking for, you know, some connection point to me.
Like, oh, he's old.
He knows I'll mention Nirvana.
Oh, perhaps.
You know, what's funny about the name of the band kind of hinted at Brad not really telling
you anything about what they would sound like.
They wanted to be called Shame, which gives you a little more of an idea, but apparently
a band already existed with that name and Brad Wilson was a band member in Shame.
So they changed their name, Brad.
I wish they'd go with Wilson.
All right.
Why don't we get into the next song?
This one's called 20th Century.
Yeah, the group sustains you, the lyrics not so much.
He actually kind of sounds like Lenny Kravitz or something on that song.
Yeah, I actually was going to say he sounds like Johnny Jamiroquai or whatever the guy's
name is from, you know, it's kind of that vibe to it.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, very funky track, love gossards, you know, little guitar, whatever you call the
Nile Rogers style or whatever that is.
Yeah, that's good.
I mean, lyrically, it doesn't matter.
I don't think it matters.
No, probably not.
But I read like anticipation and nervousness about the end of the century.
Yeah.
Was this a Y2K song?
Oh, no one was talking about that yet.
In 93, we were all oblivious, like, oh, that's forever away.
So my clickbait headline for shame is Don finds Brad on 90s rock app and swipes right.
Is that the one where you want to bang them?
Yes, that's the...
You don't like them?
Exactly.
I like Brad.
That's the point.
I like that stuff.
Yeah.
I mean, I really, I fell in love with Brad.
Check out the big brain on Brad.
Yeah.
I mean, Sean Smith is great and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of him.
I mean, not that I know everything, but you know, he's never been on my radar before.
Did you listen to the rest of their albums?
No, no, not yet.
They kept releasing them every few years.
They had one recently, but unfortunately, Sean passed away in 2019.
So the one that was released in like 2022 was the last of his performances.
For a side project, I mean, they seem to have chemistry.
They're real.
Yeah.
It's a real thing.
I think that's part of what makes it a hidden gem is it's not just a side project for the
fun of it.
This was a passion project as well, I'd say.
Yeah.
It's so diverse and it doesn't feel quite as like angsty, I guess.
I mean, it's dark and sad, I think, but it's like more emotional.
No, I guess it's a different emotion, right?
So I think with Pearl Jam and other Seattle artists at the time, they were just a little
more angry maybe.
Yeah.
Well, Eddie and Sean couldn't be any more different in their approaches than they are,
which I think is part of what makes this so interesting and almost to a point where the
Pearl Jam connection almost doesn't matter.
These are just great musicians making really interesting blend of sounds in a time when
these blends weren't really coming together very often.
Weird album cover though.
It freaks me out.
Those people, are they in masks?
I don't even know what...
Well, it looks like in the old days at Disney World and stuff when they had the big plastic
heads on like to be the dwarves or whatever.
Yeah, it's freaking creepy and I couldn't find anything to really explain it other than
like where the picture was taken, but maybe they just thought it'd be funny.
I need to know.
If anyone out there has the inside scoop, at Album Nerds on the socials.
Cool.
So yeah, check out the album.
Nadine's a really great track.
Bad for the Soul, I think kind of is a good title for a song on this record and Rockstar
is not what you expect.
Also beware at the end, a very creepy voice comes in.
You have this pleasant soulful sad experience and then there's this voice.
So when it comes in, listen, but just be warned.
All right, so that was Brad with Shame, Hidden Gem.
Yes, I see.
Yes.
All right.
Can you dig it?
Yeah, so this is usually the part where like Andy says something about having a bag full
of satchel or sack or baggies.
Oh yeah, those baggies.
So basically some sort of storage solution for the many new releases and things he's
been digging because that guy listens to a lot of music.
That's why he's on his safari looking for new albums.
Okay.
Well, so this is when we talk about what else we've been digging.
So dude, what have you been digging?
All right.
Well, I've been digging quite a few things and one I want to get to eventually is the
Fontaine's DC album that just came out.
I've been trying to immerse myself in that a little bit more, but one that I'd been looking
forward to, Laney Wilson's Whirlwind, her follow-up.
Laney.
Laney Wilson's Whirlwind.
We brought this back just hopefully for the last time.
It's her fifth studio album, but her follow-up to the big breakthrough of the bell bottom
country.
This was released August 23rd.
14 tracks that she co-wrote, so let's listen to a little bit of Country's Cool Again.
So she calling out like Beyonce and Post Malone for going country.
Everybody wants to be country now.
I think she's just saying that it is cool again and they're part of that wave.
She's not the talk to the hand type.
So yeah, I haven't listened to the whole album a lot of times yet and it definitely is a
lot of it is in reaction to the whirlwind of fame that she's experiencing, but it's
fun.
She sounds great.
It's everything I hoped for.
Hopefully it'll become more like her last album, but yeah, I've been enjoying it.
Did you listen to it at all?
I've not listened to the new album.
I do remember enjoying much of the last album and kind of expecting her to grow.
So maybe this is what I'm waiting for.
All right.
The next one, I like to do a vinyl album that I've recently picked up or been listening
to.
I stumbled upon an album by various artists that I used to have on cassette when I was
a young boy who liked to break dance.
It was a compilation called Electric Breakdance.
It was released in 1984.
It features many artists, Nucleus, D-Train, Grandmaster Flushing, L.A. Mel, Run DMC.
Why don't we listen to a little bit of Jam On It by Nucleus?
Yeah man, I mean that's more electro than a lot of the other hip hop going on.
Sorta has some shades of George Clinton and stuff like that, but yeah, Jam On It.
I used to say that a lot and I remember on the Cosby Show when Theo was jamming on the
one when Stevie Wonder was on the show.
But yeah, this was the first time I ever heard Run DMC.
It's like that.
We talked about that when we talked about the Run DMC record and this was my introduction
to that.
So I don't think compilation albums, I mean maybe you're just a way of discovering, I
guess playlists are the equivalent now.
But yeah, it was pretty cool.
So it was really, I saw that in the bin.
I'm like, holy crap.
Now it originally came with a giant poster of breakdancing moves.
This did not have the poster included.
It probably would have cost a lot more if it did.
But yeah, that's cool.
So what you digging my friend?
Well back to Hidden Gems, Dennis Wilson, right?
One of the members of the Beach Boys.
The only surfer.
Yeah.
True.
That's true, the only surfer.
But brother of Brian and Carl, he did a solo album.
His only solo album in 1977 was called Pacific Ocean Blue.
And this is also on that Rocks Knob's list of Hidden Gems.
Wow.
I have no original thoughts.
Yeah, it's like.
Here's the opening cut River song.
Sounds kind of Beach Boys.
Yeah, there's definitely a lot of Brian influence.
But it tends to be his voice is much more gruff.
I think Dennis was doing some hard living and it comes out in this album.
Those were the rumors, yes.
But yeah, definitely record people should check out.
And then for something new, although it's an older artist, Kate Pearson of the B-52s.
Oh man, which one was she?
Red Haired.
Or they both had B-52s.
Yeah, it depends on the video.
She has a solo album coming out on September 20th called Radios and Rainbows.
Here's the single, Take Me Back to the Party.
That's so funny how things come full circle because it feels like B-52s, that kind of
sound was probably an inspiration for artists like Katy Perry.
And this sounds like it was inspired somewhat by artists like Katy Perry.
I'm not the biggest B-52s fan in the world, but I always kind of liked her.
Why not?
But I liked the duets she did, you know, of course with R.E.M.
She did one with Figgy Pop that was really good too.
So yeah, I just think she has a unique voice and I'm looking forward to checking out this
record when it comes out.
Cool.
All right, well, maybe eventually we'll find out what Andy is digging.
But for now, digging out of his, what are they called?
Clam diggers or something?
Clam diggers.
I think he's probably wearing a fanny pack on Safari right now.
Whatever he's digging is in there.
You think he has the hat with like the, there's like something that blocks the sun from your
neck, you know what I'm talking about?
That people wear on Safari.
The flappy things.
Yeah, the flappy things.
Probably.
I mean, whatever's the coolest look, Andy's got it.
Well, what are you digging?
Let us know.
Join us on the socials, Facebook, Instagram and threads.
Also on our website, AlbumNerds.com.
It will be a discovery of extraordinary value.
Well, it's about the time on the show when I'm reminded of the words of Charlotte Bronte
from Evening Solace.
The human heart has hidden treasures in secret kept and silence sealed.
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures whose charms were broken have revealed.
With that in mind, let's bring out my friend and yours, the will of musical discovery and
see what we'll be discovering next week.
As music fans, you know that the rhythm and beat are the driving force of any album.
Next time, you will be diving into albums that showcase legendary drummers.
What defines a legendary drummer?
I'll leave that for you to decide.
It's going to be legend.
Wait for it.
Derry.
Legendary drummers.
On the next episode.
That's cool.
Yeah.
We just did Keith Moon not too long ago.
Yeah, that would have been a good one.
But I'm sure there's plenty of examples where drummers really can make a huge impact in
the sound of a band.
So we'll find a couple albums that fit that bill.
Sweet.
Don't forget, you can suggest topics for the wheel on our website, AlbumNerds.com, as well
as vote on any ongoing Album Nerds Hall of Fame nominations.
