| 6 - No Quarter (Led Zeppelin) | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:13:09 | |
The Dogs of Doom are howling more. John Paul Jones at his best. Led Zeppelin PRIME right here. Two sections that could toggle back and forth forever. Sophisticated dissonance meets heavy bus blues. What a combo.

| 5 - The Ecstasy Of Gold (Ennio Morricone) | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:06:39 | |
No words, just magic! Yeah this one's one of my favorite pieces of music, ever. Has been opening Metallica concerts since about 1983. So I've heard it in a stadium about 8 times now. Chills...

| 4 - Vicarious (Tool) | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:12:22 | |
Whatever flavor it happens to be. What a way to open an album. I'll never forget the first time I heard it. Headphones on in my dark room, anticipating the new release of my new favorite band in 2006. The lyrics...

| 2 - Another Brick In The Wall pt.2 (Pink Floyd) | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:09:19 | |
No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Straight D minor, but the arrangement makes it even more melancholic. Paired with some killer lyrics and a disco beat, this song is forever memorable. Don't get me started on the solo chords!

| 1 - Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles) | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:12:50 | |
Where DO they all belong? Two chords, but it's what they do with E minor and C Major. George Martin's string arrangement is out of this world. The melody is one of a kind.

| 7 - Plush (Stone Temple Pilots) | 04 Feb 2026 | 00:10:42 | |
Got time, time to wait for tomorrow. The chromatic descension... the bluesy-ness! Song has grown on me so much over time. Each section has its own distinct chord progression. And the bluesy delivery glues it all together.

| 8 - Inertiatic Esp & Son et Lumiere (The Mars Volta) | 10 Feb 2026 | 00:13:47 | |
Nowwww I'm lost! Insanely cool opening to a debut album. Haunting chord progressions, explosive hits, Latin flare, uncanny singing, ridiculous drums, Flea on BASS, and unorthodox guitar parts. The Mars Volta is unforgettable. Sort of like a Latin Zeppelin, but still truly unique.

| 9 - Limelight (Rush) | 18 Feb 2026 | 00:20:37 | |
The underlying theme! A true rock staple. 3/4 mixed with 4/4 mixed with 7/4. Relative Major and minor. Suspended chords. Introspective lyrics. So RUSH. One of my all time favorites.

| 10 - Maybe I'm Amazed (Paul McCartney) | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:09:27 | |
You right me when I'm wrong! One of the best post-Beatles songs. And there's something very special about the live version. Just beautiful how he adds that alternate ending. An exquisite love song!

| 11 - The Unforgiven (Metallica) | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:17:06 | |
They dedicate their lives - to running all of his! Most beautiful song off the Black Album? Did you know that main theme's chord progression is the same as Fade To Black's? Very cool little ode there. The lyrics and chords are in perfect harmony here.

| 15 - The Grudge (Tool) | 18 Mar 2026 | 00:45:46 | |
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down. What an OPENER to the most EPIC album. Seriously one of the coolest songs ever. Chills everytime. Honored to have my first guest ever - my brother Mario - the man who first got me into Tool way back around 2003!
