Saturday Spins: The Beatles Rubber Soul
I know I placed the “underrated” moniker on this album, but that is through the lens of a casual fan of the Beatles, not a fanatic.
Saturday Spins: Steve Earle’s Ghosts of West Virginia
Earle’s goal on this album was to cut through a lot of that and attempt to understand, not condescend to, the dualities that exists in one state in particular, West Virginia.

Led Zeppelin III turned 50 years old on Monday. However, many of the songs contained herein are timeless classics.

A lot of thrash metal just rock the f*&$ out, but a band like Pantera contains a bit more refined artistry than one would expect

Have you ever put on an album and it absolutely blew your mind? That is a basically what happened to me when I first heard this week’s Saturday Spin. Last week, I discussed Ryan...
Saturday Spins: Ryan Adams
Let’s talk a little bit about Ryan Adams’s Gold and why it is a landmark record.

Operation Ivy was only a band for 2 years, 1987-1989, and as I have often said before, burned bright, but flared out quickly.

Before he was the yin to Don Felder’s yang in The Eagles, Joe Walsh was a member of an extremely underrated trio, James Gang.
