James D. Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, I agree, especially since you're covering a pop punk band currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damndirtyape Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I wouldn't be against this, but probably on top of the regular show. I also had the idea of a "one-offs" series. Either a soundtrack, or a band that only had one album, or a musical project that had a single release (a la a Supergroup). There was a band called Lodestar that had one album out in 1996. The album was self titled. Wish they had done more. It was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 How about a group whom one of it's members once described as being "...just a band. Who made it very, very big, that's all." The Beatles. I would also suggest other British Invasion era groups, some already mentioned, but for some reason Rolling Stones aren't Would you consider Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band a group? How about Wings as usually, sadly, their albums get lumped with all Paul McCartney solo stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 While I wouldn't be against The Beatles, the problem with them is that they've got like 30 official albums. Even at 3 albums an episode, that's 10 episodes of The Beatles. It's a little insane. Also, not necessarily modern rock. Maybe a few years down the line. Bruce and the E Street Band I would not be against either. Still, in a while though. Never Wings. I fucking hate Wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'd say the problem with covering The Beatles also has a lot to do with me having absolutely zero desire to listen to The Beatles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 The Beatles are a strange duck for me. On the one hand, I do like their early poppy stuff. But once they got older and more political and Yoko got into it...not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I love the Beatles but they've been done to death. Let other bands have their place in the sun or, in some cases, the dungheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once they got older and more political and Yoko got into it...not so much. I'm the opposite. I cannot stand their poppy material, but I can enjoy their drug-fueled outing.

Dread Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I like all eras, but the later stuff is better. The White Album is one of my all-time favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I fully acknowledge that they aren't for everyone, but the Beatles are, as far as I'm concerned, It. Full stop. Greatest band ever. Twelve albums in seven years and every last one of them amazing in its own way. (Well, Yellow Submarine, not so much.) I remember listening to the White Album for the first time and very quietly having my mind blown by the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passenger Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Des, I know you have to have Clutch some place on your list...the past month its been Faith No More and Clutch. I have always liked what I have heard from the. WHY HAS IT TAKEN ME SOO LONG TO LISTEN TO ANY ALBUMS??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobob_100 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm not sure if you would cover them or not, but Bowling for Soup is a good pop punk band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Rest assured, Clutch has been on my list since the beginning, and will be there until we cover them. I'm not sure I've ever heard a Bowling for Soup song. One that i knew was performed by them at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thinking back to Episode 500, are you likely to do more episodes where you discuss tracks that revolve around a common theme? Say in between bands, so that you can keep up the discography format, but as a showcasing your opinions on other bands that might not make your main lists. If not as a full podcast episode (the numbering might be difficult there), then as an occasional earth-2 segment? I think it comes down to the REM discussion - listening to Dubs refence his friend who's a massive fan (I'm guessing Cash, Dubs?) and listening to Des vent his spleen about them! I acknowledge that the main podcast gives you a free rein for tangents on other bands anyway, but I thought the segment came off very well.

Dread Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 There are plans in the works for one-off episodes between bands, but not until after the next band. After FNM, we have another Offspring record to cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
