1001 Album Complaints

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Replacements cultivated a reckless rock and roll loser attitude and the Minneapolis music scene was never quite the same. Rob, Tom and Marty are joined by a special guest to discuss the punk to sincerity songwriting pipeline, self sabotage on an epic scale, and recruiting middle schoolers to your band

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Eminem leaned into his own failings to win the crowds at local rap battles and eventually make his way to the ears of Dr Dre. Tom, Marty, and Allan get together to discuss ultraviolent lyrics, clever wordplay, and terrible singing.

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Pink Floyd decamp to France to record a make or break high-concept double album as tensions within the band continue to mount. After the classic lineup breakup, they stay together as friends (just kidding) and only one person gets paid (this part's true). The boys continue their milestone celebration and talk fretless bass, emotional peaks, and unsavory dalliances with authoritarianism.

Next week's album: Eminem - The Slim Shady LP

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Pink Floyd were the biggest band in the world, but they hated themselves, their massive arena shows, and of course, their fans. The boys celebrate a major milestone and discuss sinister atmosphere, patience, and musical punches in the face.
