The 100 Albums Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Introducing The 100 Albums Crew. What is this podcast all about? Music. And friends.

Welcome to the first episode of the 100 Albums Podcast! The Guys kick-off the show with an explanation about how this whole project came together. Then they focus the discussion on The Eagles' 1976 record "Hotel California". What do, heavy metal guitar riffs, The Big Lebowski and Mexican reggae have in common?

In this week's conversation, The Guys talk about "Black Holes And Revelations" by Muse. Along with the usual suspects of Bert, Drew, Ron, and Ryan they welcome special guest Mark Davis to the pod. What do the Château Miraval, Pink Floyd album artwork, and Monty Python all have in common?

15 episodes into this project and the listeners are responding! In this not-so-mini, mini-episode, The Guys welcome Brian Miller to the podcast. They discuss Brian's affinity for Massive Attack, and the "Blue Lines" album specifically. 

...and Brian brought receipts! Some required listening that he pointed to during (and after) the episode:
