#72: 'Harvest' by Neil Young

Season 2 · Episode 15

Tuesday, October 7, 2025 • Duration 01:59:00

We kick off Rocktoberfest II: A Hayride Through a Pumpkin Patch of Autumnal Albums by celebrating the harvest season with, what else, Neil Young's landmark 1972 album Harvest. But is Harvest as great as a flannel sweater on a crisp fall day or is it nothing more than a pile of wet leaves?

#334: 'Abraxas' by Santana

Season 2 · Episode 14

Tuesday, September 23, 2025 • Duration 01:31:20

Santana’s Abraxas is a wild fusion of Latin rock, blues, and jazz that's packed with hypnotic rhythms, and blistering guitar solos. Tracks like “Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen” and “Oye Como Va” aren’t just classics; they’re the kind of songs that define an era. But does its genre-blending brilliance earn it a spot among the 500 greatest albums of all time?

#344: 'Funky Kingston' by Toots and the Maytals

Season 2 · Episode 13

Tuesday, September 9, 2025 • Duration 01:31:56

Funky Kingston by Toots and the Maytals is one of those records that feels like a bridge between worlds: part raw reggae groove, part soul-drenched funk, and all good vibes. You can hear the roots of reggae exploding into something bigger, as this became one of the first albums to make the rest of the world sit up and take notice of the music coming out of Jamaica. The real question is: does that mix of influence, innovation, and good vibes earn it a spot among the 500 greatest albums ever made?

#10: 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' by Lauryn Hill

Season 2 · Episode 12

Tuesday, August 26, 2025 • Duration 01:58:48

Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill dropped in 1998 and instantly felt like a cultural event—blending hip-hop, soul, reggae, and R&B into something that was both deeply personal and universally resonant. The album covers everything from love and heartbreak to spirituality and identity, all with Hill’s unmatched mix of sharp lyricism and raw emotion. It’s the kind of record that defined an era but still feels timeless every time you put it on. The big question is: does its legacy and influence justify Rolling Stone ranking it as the #10 greatest album of all time, or is that placement more about the mythos around Lauryn’s one-and-done masterpiece?

Album Recommendations:

Black on Both Sides - Mos Def
Goodies - Ciara

Un Poquito Moss - #343: "Promised Land" by Chuck Berry

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 • Duration 21:03

"Promised Land" is a fast-paced rock 'n' roll travelogue where the narrator hustles his way from Virginia to California. It's full of motion, rhythm, and clever references to the civil rights movement. It’s the American road trip as a metaphor for the fight for equality, all set to a killer guitar riff. But is it one of th greatest songs of all time?

#198: 'The B-52's' by The B-52's

Season 2 · Episode 11

Tuesday, July 29, 2025 • Duration 01:42:51

The B-52s’ debut album is a wild, campy ride that dropped in 1979 and still feels like a dance party from outer space. With surf rock guitars, retro-futuristic vibes, and absurdist lyrics, it introduced the world to the band’s totally unique sound. It’s kitschy, chaotic, and somehow still cool as hell, but is it one of the greatest albums of all time?

Album Recommendations:

Talking Heads: 77 - Talking Heads

#25: 'Tapestry' by Carole King

Season 2 · Episode 10

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 01:58:32

Carole King's Tapestry is a landmark album that masterfully weaves introspective lyrics with unforgettable melodies, creating a deeply personal yet universally resonant listening experience. Given its immense cultural impact, enduring popularity, and influence on generations of musicians, Tapestry obviously deserves a high ranking on the Rolling Stone Album List, but is #25 too high, too low, or just right?

Album Recommendations

Give It Up - Bonnie Raitt
Live at the Troubadour - Carole King and James Taylor
