The Kousins made a Top 4 list that somehow wasn't a "Mount Rushmore" list. Each Kousin picked their top 4 Hair Metal bands. Well, sort of. Three of the Kousins did; one did something a little different. Each entry got two songs played, and there were controversies throughout, but the episode was a lot of fun. The lists weren't consolidated to form a proper Top 4, though. Calls from Jim From Irwin, Eugene B Sims, Bruno From Sunny South Africa, and Jem From Alabama. No "Now Listenings" because there were already a lot of songs. What are your top four Hair Metal bands?

The latest Kousins Top 10 episode is all about "non-makeup" KISS albums. In this episode, the Kousins give their individual Top 10 of songs from Lick It Up (1983), Animalize (1984), Asylum (1985), Crazy Nights (1987), Hot in the Shade (1989), Revenge (1992), and Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions (1997). The ranking was weighted by number and put into a spreadsheet, and a few computations later, we had a collective Top Ten (or in this case, thirteen). Some may surprise you, but hey, this is the Kousins; it probably won't. There were three ties that were thrown to the "Extended Asylum Family" to break. All four gave their "Now Listenings." Calls from Jim From Irwin, Bruno From Sunny South Africa, and Eugene B Sims. What would your top ten songs be from 1983-1997?

It gets the "Listening Party" treatment and Kousin Gary gives you more info about John Sykes (the guitarist on the album) than you'd ever want to know.

©Mercury Records The Kousins bring a new monthly series to the Asylum: The Opening Act. KISS has had a lot of big-name acts open for them on their own road to stardom. We want to highlight some of those. The inaugural chapter of this is one of the first bands to open for KISS, on and off, 1974-1976. We dive into Rush's 1981 album, Moving Pictures, which celebrated its 41st anniversary in February. We give it the "listening party" treatment and the only regret that we had was that Roadie Ray wasn't with us. Listen in for our critique. How does Rush's "Moving Pictures" rate with you?

©Mercury The Kousins listen to the album that is the namesake of the podcast, 1985's Klassic, "Asylum." Of course, it features the Kousins' favorite KISS lineup (collectively) with Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr, has what Kousin Tim calls two of KISS' best songs, makeup era or non-makeup era, and we dive a little deeper checking out things we may not have known the first time we listened to it.

The Kousins listen to their own curated compilation of songs they think should have been released as singles but were not. Some would have been cool to have been singles but some are just plain shameful that they weren't. The rule is the song couldn't have been released as a single, but B-Sides are okay.

For the first time ever, we have an outsider coming in to challenge a Kousin in an Album Gladiator Showdown. Steve Wright from Podder Than Hell and I Remember Now - The Queensrÿche Podcast comes in to challenge Kousin Marvin to a duel. And they used Iron Maiden as their gladiators. Steve wielded the power of Maiden's third album, the first with Bruce Dickinson, 1982's The Number of the Beast. Kousin Marvin took the reins of that album's follow-up, 1983's Piece of Mind. It is epic! To reiterate the rules: Each combatant has two in-round deferrals. After a coin flip, the winner can either go first or defer their pick (not counted in their in-round deferrals). The first picker chooses their "gladiator" or song for battle. After a short listen, the opposing picker chooses the song (or gladiator) to battle the round's opening song. The other two Kousins (or, in this case, three) then vote for the winner. The two pickers can change their vote if they choose to, as well. Whichever song has the most votes... wins. If there's a tie, it goes to Twitter (or "X" as it's known now) for tiebreaker votes. If that doesn't make sense, just give it a listen, and it will become as clear as mud. There was no "Now Listening" because of the length of the impending battle. Kousin Marvin "Let Us Know." Calls from Jim From Irwin, Nick Provenzano From San Francisco, and Jem From Alabama.

As is the case every time Skid Row announces someone fronting the band, Sebastian Bach starts stomping, b*tching, pissing, and moaning about them not asking him to come back. Perhaps that is why, Bas? Perhaps that is why. Anyway, Skid Row's lead singer, Erik Grönwall, had to back out of the band to complete his treatment against leukemia, but the band had obligations. So, they turned to a total badass and fan of the band, Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, to fill in for a few dates. She isn't the replacement singer for Grönwall; she is just filling in until a new singer is found.  Lzzy and Bas were friends and had performed together at least once. After this was announced, Bas turned whiney and moany and unfriended/unfollowed Lzzy for just getting to fulfill a dream. Earlier this month, Sebastian Bach released a new solo record called Child Within the Man. Kousin Gary suggested we give it a listen, at least partly. We listened to Bas/Lzzy from 2013. We listened to four Lzzy-led Skids songs, and three Bas songs from the new album. An email from Jim From Irwin, a call from Jem From Alabama. All four Kousins gave their "Now Listenings."

There's a relatively new docuseries on Hulu about Bon Jovi, specifically Jon Bon Jovi. It covers his career, the band's career, the ups and downs, the losses and gains, and his voice problem (among other things). We had talked (off-air) about how bad he had been sounding and that docuseries Thank You, Goodnight, The Bon Jovi Story filled in many holes. The Kousins all had various levels of fandom, with one member, particularly into them, and it may be the one you'd expect the least. The Kousins sent in their Top 10 Bon Jovi songs. They were put through a tally, and the top 15ish showed up. An at-large tiebreaker was called for, and our closest chosen family - our listeners - was that tiebreaker. With help from Eugene B Sims, Jem From Alabama, Jim From Irwin, Nick Provenzano from San Francisco, Ray's Steve, and Bruno from Sunny South Africa, all chipped in and broke yon ties (to some extent). Some were more excited than others, we'll say. The Top Ten (or Twelve) were then presented. The four Kousins gave their "Now Listenings."

The whole gang is back this week. When you think of one-hit wonders, which artists do you think of? What makes the songs you think of a "hit?" Where does the "one-hit" part of "one-hit wonder" come from? The Kousins discuss those very questions. Okay, let's face it, Kousin Tim tries to school people because that's what he does. He's a know-it-all. But maybe he thinks he's a know-it-mostly kind of guy? Who knows? It's really just a fun topic and suggestion. All four Kousins give their "Now Listenings." There are calls from Jem From Alabama, Bruno from Sunny South Africa, Jim From Irwin, and an old-school call from "Roadie Ray." What constitutes a hit to you? Who are your favorite one-hit wonders?
