We have our first guest on a Pick 100 episode, Leif Sandaas, college friend and man responsible for our love for R.E.M. And a “radio play” to tell the story of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” Watch the promo below, and see all picks thus far and more at The Pick 100 page.
#30-22 are here… and you can dance to them
Our Favorite 100 Albums countdown continues, as we have reached numbers 30 through 22. Beastie or Blondie; Mac or Boy; Uh-Huh or Hum; Steely or Straits; Prince or PJ; Ten or 1999; Earth, Wind, Fire, Hell, or Purple Rain… which will rank higher? Led Zeppelin IV is Jeff’s pick at #23, and it features “Stairway To Heaven.” Is it still the best rock song of all-time? And can you dance to it? Listen to this episode for in-depth analysis.
