[00:30]all right in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums decided by Rolling Stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy Beck did it better we are all the way up to album 144 I love yours doesn't work as well 144

[01:00]I love I love I love yes Aaron with a glove save and a beaut oh it's going to overtime folks Aaron just saved the whole day I saved Aaron I loved it I forgot what we were talking about all right so we're up to album 144 and from 1975 it's physical graffiti from 1975 guys I had a physical graffiti once I thought I thought

[01:31]yeah and you'll you'll never believe what it was I go into this hospital right and on the door it says I was like what and I go up to my doctor and he goes oh it's a me it's a Mario it turns out I was getting a physical a free physical hey it's a physical all right safe win when the doctor like I'm going to trample on your nuts underfoot and I was like well that's close that makes the joke almost work

[02:00]all right so I don't think so I was like well the doctor shouldn't do that let's get right into the song why not okay maybe some people are having trouble seeing what's going on let's get right into this song would you have to guess is this song about old ladies or bras which one do you think it is ah let's go this one what's up everybody welcome to KROB K R O B today Rob's got the ball he's on the 30 the 40

[02:30]the 50 the 40 the 30 the 20 folks it looks like he's going in oh there's a fumble oh yeah well I just want to see some boobies and now I take a grasp and bras are brand new to me and I can't undo this class can I do this class seven that's a long time who didn't fumble with a bra I'll listen to this song. You know what I mean?

[03:00]This is the ultimate brah from Blitzkrieg. The brah from Blitzkrieg? Brahs. When this song is out, brahs are a huge mystery. Well, now this is a classic bumble. It's stuck on there real good. Can you just take it off for me? This brah is so complicated. That's quite right. That's quite a rhyme. You know you're a brah from Blitzkrieg when you say,

[03:31]can it just go up? Like, can you just, like we're taking off a uniform at the end of the game? With the brah. What would happen if we just do a brah from Blitzkrieg? Now I'm giving up. Let's put back on your shirt. It would be so much simpler if the brahs were just reversed. Reversed? The brahs. Why not?

[04:00]Oh no! There's loops, there's loops, but it's not velcro. Why don't they just make it velcro? It'd be so much easier. You're like, wait, you're like, wait, I almost got it. I almost got it. I almost got it. Well, I've talked to the other guy And we all agree Brahs are hard, we never know How they come off correctly We don't know

[04:30]Oh, listen You thought it was embarrassing singing a song last week about mutual masturbation in front of your kids' bedrooms? Wait until you sing a song about taking up brahs Two things about your song, Brad I got the perfect podcast for you, Jack Is there a better word than boobies? Just make it up Every time you say boobies Yeah, no, I never forget that. And it rhymes with quite a bit. That was actually the first line in my head.

[05:01]And did part of your song, was it that you were so frustrated you just told the other person, guy, gal, whoever, just to put their shirt back on? Put your shirt back on. Yeah, it's over. Has any of us ever just said, you know, why don't you just put your shirt back on? That's not the answer. I just don't think that's ever come out of anybody. I feel like a lot of kids did to me younger when I was at the pool. But I think now maybe nobody actually cared and I just wanted to have my shirt on. One second, the dog guys. I thought I had this under control. Do you think those, are those boxers?

[05:30]Are they briefs? Are they tighty-whities? What was the cut on those? We've had this conversation before where Rob claimed these were not tighty-whities and we all disagreed with it. They're like... Boxer briefs that are ultra tight. They're like orangey-orangeys. They're not tighty-whities. I was... Orangey-orangey? Orangey-porngeys? Orangey-orangeys. I was listening to last week's episode and it did make me want to listen to that Bryan Adams song. The fact that you had sung that as a wedding.

[06:01]So I did put that song onto the soundboard here. So let's just listen to that real quick. This doesn't sound like the original. Yeah, something's different. No, nothing's different. Nope, this is weird piano or something. I've talked to other guys and we agree bras are tough

[06:31]to take off correctly. I know it comes apart but I don't know. I don't know. I can't figure out how this whole bra things go. You can't tell me you weren't bumbling. I know that

[07:01]you did some bra fumbling. I know it's true. I haven't got a clue. Bras are hard to undo. If you notice the first verse of that song and the last verse of the Led Zeppelin song were exactly the same and that's because on my parody song notes thing I had. I just kept singing until I realized I was accidentally singing the Bright Adams song to the Led Zeppelin parody song.

[07:31]It all worked out. A little mix up there. Listen, I've got four guys here who want to talk about Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin and they love the instrumentals. It was one of their favorite parts. I've got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Good, Rob. If you feel like you can't go on, if your will's sinking low, just believe that at some point this evening this podcast will end and we can all go to bed. I don't know. It's going to happen. By the looks of it, we've almost got introductions 10 minutes in. I've got Russell in Minnesota. Russell, how are you doing? Rob, I'm greased up

[08:01]and I'm slicked down fine. I'm wearing your favorite groovy leather trim. I like the way you hold my road right down the line. Rob, it ain't no sin. Is it just me or did a bunch of guys around this time want to have sex with a car? So many of these bands are like, I got a car. Isn't that how grease came to be? I think it is. It's like, oh, if I could have sex with my car, his trunk, oh, that'd be so great. Little do they know

[08:30]we had a whole episode about a car that would jerk you off. You know, you'd buy it. Everyone would buy it. Oh, let me see. Am I going to play this pinball game for 25 cents or am I going to play this pinball game for $50? Rob, how awkward would it be if you bought the jerk-off car and then you had to go pick someone up in it and it's apparent it's a jerk-off car. It's not like a normal Ford, right? Like, there's got to be an emblem on it or something where people know you've bought the jerk-off car, right?

[09:01]Like, you got to pick up your, pick your in-laws up from the airport. Like, oh, just tuck in. Like, don't worry about the purple lights in the back. Father-in-law's just hitting buttons. Hey, no, no, no, don't touch that one. Don't touch that one. Wait, touch that one again. Aaron's father-in-law gets to the house and Aaron's out there like rubbing down the car, like, you know, polishing every bit of it. You know, he sees what, I mean, why do you, how do you come back from that? No, you can't. Yeah, I got it, man. Let me think. Getting jerked off in front of my in-laws, would that be awkward? Yeah, I think it would be.

[09:30]You're right, Russell. I agree with you. I will say that we did agree that the car has purple lights that are going on if you're driving in and getting jerked off at the same time so people behind you know that you are getting jerked off in the car. Anyway, like I said, Aaron in California, I got Aaron. Now, Aaron recently, guys, you don't know this, but Aaron was recently on a plane. I heard about this story and the pilot came on the intercom and I'm going to put this in the intercom sound again. He goes, just to let everybody know, we are cruising at over 30,000 feet.

[10:02]And Aaron goes, I just creamed my jeans. 30,000 feet. God, I try so hard not to laugh at these things. Hey, ref, put on your night shirt. Put on your night shirt. Let's talk about Led Zeppelin physical graffiti. Now, listen, Matt's not happy because I'm back to the foot feet thing, but you got to admit the idea of a foot fetish guy who doesn't care what the feet look like he just likes quantity. He's like, he's like, oh my God, there's so many feet.

[10:31]And he's staring at the monitor where it shows like your distance from the next thing and it shows you going up for like 12,000 feet, 13,000 feet, 14,000 feet. This is 10,000 feet. How many feet are we talking here? Yeah, a lot of feet. Listen, guys, let's get into the voicemail. Now, listen, remember the other week I said that we have lots of voicemails and turns out that didn't last as long as I thought. Turns out it was not a trend. So please call in 802-277-BECK, 802-277-BECK

[11:00]and tell us something that will maybe lead to a conversation, please. On the Beck line, 802-277-BECK. That's me every time. 277-2325. You're really good. It gets me. Hey, everyone. It is Claire the Square, Russ's cousin, calling in again.

[11:30]Nice to meet you. Been loving all of the episodes. Claire the Square? I saw something in the news the other day that made me think of all of you. So the guitar that was used and played in the Hot For Teacher music video sold for $3.9 million. Of course, I instantly thought of Rob. But that also led me to wonder, if each of you could have a piece of music memorabilia,

[12:01]what would you most want as your artifact? Music memorabilia, huh? Yeah. I would say two Rolling Stones. I would say two Rolling Stones shirts. That's what I want the most. And I would pay any price for those two shirts. Over or under $130, Rob? I would never complain about how much I paid because for me, the experience is the juice. Hey, I think some... You know what? I bet somebody would sell you something for $150 right now. It would get you out pretty easy. Oh, okay.

[12:30]What size is it? But I would like to know what each of us would get for the other three. That's the real question. You're out shopping. Can I go first? Yes. I'm going to speak for what I... I don't know what I would get for Matt or Rob, but I know what I would get for Aaron without question. I don't know if this would be considered memorabilia or if this is considered an album. But I believe, if I'm not mistaken, the Wu-Tang, the Wu-Tang Clan has recorded one record or one album that was bought by this big hedge fund guy

[13:01]who went bankrupt, had a bunch of fraud issues or whatever. And now... That's pretty cool, though. So my understanding is there's this one Wu-Tang album out there that's been recorded. I don't even know if anyone's ever heard it, but the one guy owned it. And now I think it's in literally like a container at the government because he's going through bankruptcy or whatever. And literally, I don't know if anyone will ever hear this, but if I could get Aaron, the one Wu-Tang album where no one has ever heard it, I think that would be the first thing

[13:30]I would get for Aaron. But maybe that's an album, not a memorabilia. That counts. That counts. I would get... Matt, we'll all do Aaron now. I would get Aaron probably the glove from Michael Jackson because he'd be like, oh, this is pretty cool to have, but I cannot show anybody that I have this. You guys are so generous. I would make his life a living hell having to have that. Matt, what do you think? I would get... It's probably in line with what I would get for myself. I would get myself a different artist, but I think it would be unbelievably cool to get Aaron

[14:00]the handwritten notes to one of John Lennon's songs or some sort of lyrical sheet that he could put on the wall. He could frame it and put it on the wall. He's had some other artists that he likes. You see it and it's like Ob-la-dee, Ob-la-doi and it's crossed out and it's like, question mark, question mark. You guys are too kind. All right, well, I'm going to start with Russell. I'm going to start off on Russell. Russell would get a full Johnny Cash Man in Black head to toe, whatever Johnny Cash is wearing for any particular concert. Russell gets the full suit,

[14:31]whatever it was for like a TV special or something like that. I will say, Aaron, this is just a warning for my rolling going. I may have had to throw out some costumes recently, so maybe clothing that I can't wear or wouldn't be using might not be the best thing right now. He's like, this ball gag doesn't even restrict me. Has my mouth gotten bigger? Is that something that happens when you get older? My mouth is too big for the ball gag? All right, maybe some of those tapes from Johnny Cash's personal file, like the actual recorded tapes.

[15:00]That's what I'm thinking. Man, what would you get, Russ? I think, you know, instantly I just went to like not so much 80s hair or metal band, but something Metallica, maybe a guitar played by James Hetfield or something like that. Or something along those lines, you know, or Guns N' Roses, something that he would like out of one of those bands. A Slash Hat. Oh, a Slash Hat. You could get him a Slash Hat. Where are the bars at? Yes, or a snake. A Slash Hat would be good. One of his snakes. Could you imagine

[15:30]all the gilfs I could pick up with a Slash Hat? Oh my God. Excuse me, are you Mystique? No, you're Russ. Was Mystique one of the guys that wrote that book You Love Russ? Wasn't that by Mystique? The Art of the Pickup or whatever it is, that one? The Secret Society of Pickup Artists? Yes. The Game, whatever it was called? The Game, that is. It is. Or whatever. We don't know what it's called. I know you guys are thinking for Matt. I know you're thinking Pearl Jam,

[16:00]but I would actually skip the Pearl Jam for Matt. I would get him a full, whatever the top of the line synth is right now, I would get one of those for Matt. Anything that's been played by one of the bands that he's been into lately, just the full 80s, something that Kate Bush played on or any of those people, something he could really take home and get some sounds going. By The Cure, maybe, yeah. I feel like I could develop a room for Matt that is Yacht Rock where you just go into the room and it's just Yacht Rock.

[16:30]There's Yacht Rock playing, but at the same time, there's like a chair that would make, it's almost like you're on a boat. It would be like you're listening to Yacht Rock on a yacht. You would have like little portholes instead of windows and instead of your normal bathroom, it'd be a little bathroom that always smells bad, just like on a boat. It would be awesome. And then you're like, wait, did I pay like tens of thousands of dollars? To come on this boat? Hmm. And the beds are all bad and the toilets smell, but we can't say anything because we paid

[17:00]so much money for it. God, that's so weird. This is such a great vacation. I love my family. It's like trying to lift sadness. Yeah, except I can also catch the fish. Okay, so they would actually still have to listen to me. They would still have to listen to what I say. You watched it. Oh, it's wonderful, Rob. Good movie. Or what would you get Russell for Matt? You know what? You said we were staying away from the Pearl Jam stuff. I would have to find, you know, a guitar or something that they used when they played at Wrigley Field. I feel like Matt's a baseball guy. Matt's a Pearl Jam guy.

[17:30]And I know, I think, Matt, you went to one of those, right? Yeah, they played in 13, wasn't there, but in 16 and 18, I was there. I would say from what I know of Matt's interest, those would be two of them. And if I could combine them and get like the guitar that Vedder uses or something from the concert at Wrigley Field, I would say something like that. That'd be a good one. I was just leaving the Pearl Jam stuff for you all because I didn't want to take it. I would get Rob if money was no object. I would get Rob

[18:00]from I like where this is going. Sir Mix-a-Lots. I like Big Butts. I would get the two Big Butts that they're dancing on, the mounds from the set so that he could have that just so he could go dance on the butt. That's unbeaten. You can't beat it. So I'm still, if I'm getting Rob a piece of music memorabilia, it is Stevie's whatever the, I guess I'm getting a sense for everyone. The computer. The computer for songs in the key of life. That's what Rob gets from me. Yes.

[18:30]Think of all the sounds you could make on the soundboard for that. Oh my God. It'd be so great. All day long. It'd be like mutual masturbation. Mutual masturbation. Mutual masturbation. Russell, what would you give me? I thought I already got you something. What'd you give me? Oh, I think, I think I would get you, I'd get you, I almost bought a Mariah Carey, the red snowsuit. Yeah, I'll take it. That's all we talk about every time. I'll take it.

[19:00]I'll get you that. It's hot. Okay. Is Russell wearing it or it's just you're giving it to Rob? He can take it out when his family's not around, when his in-laws aren't around. Yeah, Russell's wearing it. That's part of it. I'm on the snowmobile, Russell's wearing it. Ass cheeks just poking out the bottom of it. That's what I remember. That's in my head. That's a core memory that turned out to be false when I watched it with you guys. Awkward. Makes me think a lot of searches I'm doing on Bing lately are not worth my time. Like vaguely remembering movies

[19:30]from like when I was 12. I'm like, okay. Could switch bodies with woman at auto shop. I might get him the sex doll that was in the Tom Petty Last Dance with Mary Jane video. What was that doll's name? I can't remember. What was that doll's name? God, I cannot remember. I just want to say those right on the tip of my tongue. Russell's like, what would, did we do Russell already? Yeah, because I didn't know. Yeah, we did Russell. All right, listen, let's get out of here. Let's get into rolling going. It's,

[20:00]it's, it's, it's time to see what everybody's up to. It's time for, you know what? I would get Russell. I would actually get Russell some sort of season tickets to like small town theaters for everywhere in Minnesota. So if he ever has a show that he wants to go to where it's like, hey, here's a story about like, you know, oh, think of a single singer, Rob. That Russell would go to. I want to say Buddy Holly, but you already did that one. Phoebe Bridgers. Little Richard.

[20:31]There's a Little Richard musical and Russell wants to go. Yeah. And it's in like Sheldon or whatever. Like you, you get to go now and you get to see it. It'd be great. Rolling going, Aaron, how's it going with you? Oh, it's going great. I was going to say, you don't want to join the protesters out in front of that Little Richard musical. You want to actually go in and see it. Things are good. I've been listening to the new Billy Woods album. I really like it. Billy Woods, also a member of the rap group. I think they're called Arm and Hammer, but I really like his stuff. He raps a lot about,

[21:00]he raps both about Mezcal Negronis and being in a Costco in the Midwest. So there's pretty much everything, everything about him I'm really enjoying. So that's like his. Does he have a verse where you ask your wife to get a sample, even though you know she's not going to eat it so you can have twice as much samples? Oh, that would be a good, that would be, no, I've not heard that yet, but that would be a good verse. He raps a lot about food. And like, I love food raps, like Action Bronson's food rap's pretty good. Ghost, anytime Ghost is rapping

[21:30]about food, like baked macaroni, turkey wings, like, you know, anytime Ghost's rapping about food, I like that. I like that chicken, chicken rap. Man, I can rap. Chicken rap. Listen, no, see, you hit on the other thing. I've ordered raps a couple times recently. I bought some raps recently, Rob, and the thing about raps is like, there's that spot in the rap where you get to the corner where it's all tortilla. And like, if you bought the rap from like, it's like, it's on you. Like, if you bought the rap

[22:00]from the refrigerated case, you already know you're going to get some cold tortilla. And like, that's okay if there's enough sauce otherwise. But you get to that one corner and it's just like quadruple folded tortilla. Yep. And what if it got wet somehow? Yeah. I mean, a little wet tortilla, no thanks, don't need it. Right, because if there's too much lettuce in there, yeah. And then it's on you. You're like, I knew, I knew when I bought this rap I was going to, but what happens? Do I eat it anyway? Yeah, I eat it anyway. You took me on a real

[22:30]dark path. So what were you, you were talking about rappers or something? I was talking about Billy Woods rapping about food. He raps, he's a great food rapper. He also raps really specifically about weed strains. So he's rapping about Piff. Did you ever have this one, Rob? It was like huge in New York, I guess, but it was like too hard to get. I don't know. He's really, he's really into the weed strain. So I like the new Billy Woods. The other thing that was going to talk about. Are weed strains real things? Are weed strains real things? To someone they are. I mean, I don't know. I guess, right? It's like, sure. Is it kind of like coffee? Like, is there really a difference

[23:00]in coffee? Oh, Jesus. Yes, there's a difference in coffee. Man, that's crazy. Why would you say that? Why would you say that? That's an insane thing to say. He's trying to light a fire over here. Is there really a difference or no? Yes, 100%. There's a huge difference. Difference in where it was grown. I could care less, right? I go in and I just say, look, give me the, whatever the darkest you got. Oh, we don't have any dark. Well, yeah, give me the medium, whatever. I don't care. It does not really matter. I just drown it out with creamer anyway. Can I ask a question about you guys and your coffee? Yeah. So, let's say you had a morning,

[23:31]a day where your coffee baker broke and you would like coffee a lot. So, you haven't had any coffee in the day. So, now we're calling our dates the coffee maker? What's going on? How much would that set you sideways? if you haven't had coffee all day because your coffee, your coffee maker broke and it's like 4, 5 p.m., are you pissed? Yes. Are you not leaving the house? Yeah, wait, what happened that you couldn't get some coffee somewhere? I don't know. Go to the store and get some coffee. You got the old,

[24:00]you got the old essay right up the road there, Russell. Is there another way to get some coffee in this person's life? get that, yeah. Russell, when you said four or five, the time is four or five, I honestly thought you were going to say the time was 1030. Okay. I was like 1030. I was like, oh my God, 1030 without coffee. I couldn't even think about it. And then you said four or five. I was like, no, no, let's say four or five is probably wrong. Let's say it's noon. Let's say it's noon. Way too late. Your coffee maker's broken. So like, how does that impact your date? It's like, are you upset? Yes. Are you frustrated? Yes. Where the hell,

[24:30]Russell, where have you been all day? Like where, just couldn't you deliver some coffee? I need to carve out that 15 minutes to go outside, drive my car over to the nearest coffee shop, pick up a coffee and come back. Oh, I would, I would totally be ordering Starbucks from, from my bike going across Manhattan, like one hand on the order and Starbucks one hand on my bike. Roll over, nudge Russell, get him out of bed, tell him to put his shoes on and go get me some coffee. Like that's what I would do in that situation. Yeah. And can you find my car? What if the morning your coffee maker didn't work? And then instead,

[25:00]instead someone proposed, hey, we could just go to the, the coffee place right across the street. And then you go in there and it's at a grocery store and you go in there and then it's fucking closed when you thought it was going to be open. How pissed would you be? How pissed would you be about that? That's oof. You got to Google first to see what their hours are. You got your car at the grocery store, right? So you might as well just drive to the next grocery store. That's happened to me. Here's when Jenny has stopped for coffee. So not only have I gone into a number of coffee places

[25:30]that she Googled that turned out to be in the middle of a mall that we had to like walk a mile to get to, or it's in a grocery store that of course it's closed. She has ordered coffee on the way out of the airport, Russell. The way out, you stop, you get your bag, and she says, stop, I'm going to get some coffee. I'm like, what are you doing? We are almost out of this hellscape that we have been in this whole time and you want to get coffee right now? Now, of course, I say that internally to myself. But Russell, it's the most-

[26:00]She's around, I be quiet. There's the, it's the worst time to buy coffee. Like people are picking us up at the airport. It really, it really bothers you. You hit like noon and you haven't had and it's a problem. It's terrible. Yeah, it's terrible. It doesn't really bother me, but I do get a headache now if, you know, by like two o'clock if I haven't had caffeine in the morning. I don't need it. I don't need it, Russell. So Russell, you're blurring the lines between it bothers you or it bothers the person you live with. Like I'm okay without coffee until noon, but other people in my house are not okay

[26:30]without coffee until noon. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's rewind it. I mean, by the time this comes out, I'm not sure. I'm okay until noon, but other people in my house are not okay until noon. It sounds like you've got a specific situation you'd like to talk about. Yeah, to solve this problem, you can fix it. You know what? I'm not a coffee drinker, so I was just curious if, you know, if I've seen someone's reaction to not having coffee by noon, I was curious if that's how everyone's reaction is. it's a, it's,

[27:00]yeah. But what people really like, Russell, is people like it if you point that out. Like, you know, I've noticed your behavior is X, and I think it's because of Y. I find people love that. They think it's great. I prefer to do it on a public forum like this podcast. Well, that's enough coffee talk out of me. How's it rolling going with Matt? That's enough coffee talk. You know, I am not coming with any new music this week, but The Current had a little bit

[27:30]of a pretty sweet thing going on. The Current, 89.3 The Current, you know, for all of our Chicago and Austin and all of our listeners across the country, it's the local, what is it, public, I mean, how do you describe it? They're public radio, aren't they? They're public radio, but it's not, it's like NPR or NPR where, you know, it's user-funded and all that stuff. Yeah, user-supported. They did a member drive campaign where they did the 893 best songs

[28:00]as voted by the listeners, I'm using my air quotes, best songs of the 90s. So they took essentially eight days and started at 893 and worked all the way down to one. Sounds like a list, Matt. Sounds like a little bit of a list. And I'm glad Rob's going to put in all of these songs. No, I'm kidding. Oh my God. Wait, aren't we just copying somebody else's list? This seems wrong to me. I know we do a lot of kind of maybe some stuff on the air or maybe it's like now we're worried about copying things. Now I'm kind of worried that we're copying somebody to take credit for.

[28:30]So Matt, when do you start listening to the list? Are you at like song 200 or when do you pick it up? Oh, no, I mean, I would just, I was anytime I could, right? So I didn't listen to any podcasts. I wasn't listening to new albums or, you know, I just would put on the current as much as I could. So I didn't, I didn't catch a lot of it, right? But, you know, I probably heard maybe a fifth of the songs total if I'm being honest. But I did try to listen to the top 10, you know, when it was coming out because it was, the last day was like the top 100.

[29:00]And so then I was really, I tuned in for sure on the top 10. So I figured, well, I'm going to go with number 11 only because I think 11 should have been in the top 10, but I'll just read them quick and you guys can tell me what you think. So 11, Wonderwall, What's the Story, Morning Glory by Oasis. Yeah. Good one. Number 10, Maisie Starr, Fade Into You. Oh, you guys know that one? That's a fucking killer. Yeah. What? That's a great song. You will know it when you hear it. It is absolutely, look at that video.

[29:30]It's an absolute 90s. Oh, I know it. Oh yeah. Yeah. Good call. I don't even know the current this sounds like it should be on the top 10 on this current list though. Yeah. Number nine, Criminal by Fiona Apple. Somebody on her text chain, John from Owatonna brought up, are you kidding me? How is this top 10? And you know, Fiona Apple. This one. Yeah. Fiona Apple in the 90s was legendary.

[30:00]Yeah. So this is an absolute banger song. Yep. This is a good one. Number nine, which I almost threw up, Losing My Religion by Ari, and we've talked about this in past songs or past albums that Losing My Religion as a number, I'm scrolling up here because Night Swimming was number 19. I was just going to ask. I absolutely think Night Swimming, at least it was top 20, but you know, they could easily have swapped these two out. Night Swimming, way better than this song. You cannot put Night Swimming ahead of Losing My Religion

[30:31]on the list of best song. Night Swimming is the best song ever written by a white person. I get it's a good song, but it's not bigger than this song. No way. It's better. Hey, do either of these R.E.M. songs reference Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match? I don't think so. Get the F out. I was going to say, what about that R.E.M. song that's placenta on the floor, but that was R.E.M. It would be live. It would be live. Oh my God. That song's on this list

[31:01]somewhere. We'll find it. Number seven, Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. Great song. Which is kind of, you know, a great song. It's kind of just, I totally forgot that this would be a top, you know, I totally forgot about this song that would be in the top 10. Top 10 song of the 90s? It kind of gets credit because like, it's how many other songs in the 90s you just pulled in strings like that. No, I'm telling you, great song that you got sick of and you hate now because you've heard it a million times. It's too good for its own good. Wasn't it also in the end of the movie? What's the movie?

[31:30]It was in, the one with Reese Witherspoon, Rob. Sweet Home Alabama. Cruel Intentions. Sweet Home Alabama. No, it wasn't Cruel Intentions or who was the one with the pool where the two girls kiss in the pool? Wild Things. It wasn't Reese. Okay, never mind. I was thinking of Wild Things. Like I do all the time. Number six, Everlong by the Foo Fighters. Rob, if you would have hung out with Aaron and I in college, you would have watched the 100 Greatest Sex Scenes and you would have known that was Wild Things.

[32:00]You know, I don't, Foo Fighters, they absolutely deserve to have a song up here. You know, this song's pretty good, but I don't know. I think my favorite Foo Fighters song is Monkey Wrench, but I don't know if that's the best one. Mine was There Goes My Hero. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if that, you know. That's pretty good. Number five, my first album ever. No need to argue, but the song is Zombie by the Cranberries. Love it. Jeez, yeah. Killer song. You know, so absolutely a 90s staple. Yeah, this is an awesome song.

[32:30]Remade recently, but you know, I still think this is the better version. I believe there's a UFC fighter, the Korean zombie, who uses this as his walk out music, and it fit pretty well for him. Oh, such a great song. Pretty good. Z-Hambi. Number four, the namesake of this podcast, Loser by Beck, and I was waiting. Damn, number four? I thought this would be a top three. I really thought this would be a top, it made it number four, but this is, I cannot tell you

[33:01]how much I love this song, and what, this breaks me right back to seventh grade in the football locker room, Richfield Middle School. I can still picture it. And the first time you ever saw the video, yeah, all that stuff. So, great song. Number three, which was a complete surprise to me, because we were, you know, we had a little text chain of what the number one song would be, but number three, completely forgot about this song, would be in the 90s top ten, but Sabotage by the Beastie Boys. Oh, great. Top ten,

[33:30]top, top. But wait, so there's nothing from Dre and Snoop who got Sabotage? Yeah. I'm not sure about that. I mean, I like this song. I like this song. But I'm not sure. I'm not sure that number two thing. Think about who, think about who's voting at the current. Yeah, that's true. It's kind of like the Rolling Stone, you know, previous, the album, you know. Okay. If that makes sense to you, so. Great song. Is there a number two? No Green Day in the top ten, though? Nope, nope. Number two, and I'll come back a couple of these things, but number two, which, again, was a complete surprise,

[34:00]but absolutely belongs at number two. To me, it was a complete surprise. You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette. Oh, okay. I mean, 90s, I don't think. We just, we just covered that. I don't know how many. Speaking of Alanis, I have acquired tickets to go, I believe, this August to see Alanis at the Orpheum. Nice. The Jagged Little Pill. I'm very excited. Can I give you my recommendation for seeing the Alanis show? I'd love to hear about it, Rob. I would sit in the back of the theater. That's my advice.

[34:31]Sit in the back. And if you're lucky, you can blow Dave Coulier. Hey, don't cut it out blowing me. That's what it would sound like if you were blowing Dave Coulier. Thank you. But he did a bullwinkle voice. And I said it in the, I said it in the text chain. It was like a minus 400 at the time. You know, smells like teen spirit was number one on this list. And that kind of just was fairly obvious. So. Did you expect that? I expected that.

[35:00]Yep. I expected that. Doo-Wop, that thing by Lauren Hill was number 17. Mr. Jones by Counting Crows, 15. I'm trying to just roll through a few of these here. Where it's at on Odele was number 21. Closing Time, Semi-Sonic, Minnesota, any episode. How about any songs we've covered on the, on the podcast recently, Matt, or not? Well, you'll like this at number 24, Paranoid Android from OK Computer by Radiohead. Closer

[35:30]by Nine Inch Nails. We did, we did the downward spiral already, didn't we? Yeah, we did. That was 25. You know, there's a lot of Pearl Jam, and Smashing Pumpkins. Didn't November Rain have strings on it? That's a better song than Bittersweet Symphony. Yeah, Basket Case by Green Day was 33. I thought, I think Basket Case should be at least a top 20, but that was number 33. Nothing But a G Thing by Snoop Dogg. That was 37.

[36:00]You know, I'm trying to just go through a few of these here. Seven by Prince was 40. I really hate to interrupt, but nobody's going to talk about how I played OMZ, How Bizarre, instead of Smells Good. I thought that was a great pull for a 90s song. That's the best part of the joke. That's the best part of the joke, Rob. You don't have to. Destination Unknown as I pull in for some gas. I know this one. I mean, this is such a 90s song. There's only one song that's more 90s. Your list is flawed, Matt, because you know what should have

[36:30]been number one. It's number 54. I mean, shoot, I was going to say Tub Thumping, Chumbawamba was 54. Guys, name another 90s song. I mean, this is it. Glycerine. Where's glycerine on the list? Glycerine. Man, I got to find, maybe somebody, that album, 16 Stones. Early in the morning. Russ was interested in that list of 90s music too, but it wasn't

[37:00]for the same reasons. He was. Waterfalls. Waterfalls, number 80 by TLC. We brought that up a few times. So, Vogue, I'm Breathless, 85 by Madonna. We just kind of went through that a little bit. Devil's Haircut, back 89. So, yeah, it was quite fun to kind of count down with the 90s. And as we've said, we're all from the 90s and so that's when we grew up. And so, I think it was pretty fun to listen to. I don't know if I would be as excited to listen

[37:30]to the 80s or the 2000s. So, it kind of hit home. Matt, were there any on the top 100 or so that jumped up there that you'd never heard of that you said, hey, this should be up here. I've never even heard this song or did you not have any like that? I was trying to find a couple of those and it's like when you got to the top 100, everything made sense. Buddy Holly by Weezer, you know. Weezer. You know, there's a Sarah McLachlan song. You know, so. You know, it's so funny, Matt,

[38:00]because every song you're saying, literally, and I wonder why I've been kind of introspectively even doing this and I'm like, why is that? It's because I realize every song you're saying is like a vivid high school memory for me. Like of where, what I think about when I hear that song. For example, that I, Buddy Holly, I had that CD. I listen to it all the time. All I can think of when I hear that song is I was driving in a car with my date Gina, okay, who asked me to sweetheart dance and she was attractive and. Did you fumble? The parents are,

[38:30]no, the parents, no, I did not fumble. I'll just leave it at that. The parents are giving us a ride to the dance and I'm sitting in the backseat of the car, listening to that song and it's like such a vivid time of your life where you're like, yes, I'm on a date with a girl her parents are driving. All right. The parents are really loving driving this car. What are all those tubes doing up there? It's a jack off car. I don't know if we brought it up, but Rosie, did you ever listen to Arrested Development and the song Tennessee was number 90 when that album was on,

[39:00]but I, you know, I challenge you to a game of horseshoes, a game of horseshoes. You know, I say it to my kids all the time. That's so funny because I say to my kids all the time and I am still thirsty and they're like, what? I don't even know where to start to explain that to you. Lightning crashes number 76. Finally, finally a song about placenta. It's my number one placenta song of all time. Number one. List of one. Number one. One of one. You could say maybe Shake, Rattle and Roll when I've seen a placenta would be a song

[39:31]about placenta, really, but I think live lightning crashes is more, more about placenta I would say. He's back. He's back. He's back. All right, Russell, how's it going with you? Things are going well. You guys had kind of alluded to something earlier. I'm making a life decision coming up where we won't get into the details, but I'll just say I'm going to be having a new roommate. Oh, oh my God. And is that this? There is no, there is,

[40:00]what song am I going to play? I'm trying to think what this is because this is such a huge part. The pleasure principal's wife finally kicked him out. He's moving back in. I mean, is this, is this what we want to play to this or? I was thinking the Fortuna or the Biggie skit. Oh. Oh yeah. Or, but you know, on the other hand, it's like, because it's like, this is a major, this is either, what kind of fuckery is this? This is either one foot in the grave for this podcast because let's,

[40:30]let's think about what we're losing out on. I want to remind you. maybe you can, maybe you can listen to my question and then you can find out what song really fits what I'm going to ask you guys. I know, I know. But Russell, you went on a date with a woman that spoke no English. We can't get that again. That's gone now. But on the other hand, Russell is going to be sharing his space with somebody else. Don't forget the pregnant chick. He's going to be, he's going to be sharing his little table at his computer with like one other person who's like, hey, move the mouse. I got to eat dinner. You know, God is, I don't know what I like more.

[41:01]Oh, it's an embarrassment of riches. The lady who didn't speak English, if you remember, we did use our translators on our phone. Remember, we would speak into the phone and then it would translate it. I didn't recall. All right. So anyways, as part of this, this ritual, if you will, of having a new roommate, I'm realizing there are certain things that I will not be able to bring with me to this place where I will have a new roommate. At some point, if you live somewhere

[41:30]long enough, you start collecting things, junk you don't need anymore. Maybe you don't need to keep that stuff. I thought I would share with you guys some of the things that I have gone through into, is this something I should keep or is this something that has to go? So I've got a number of things I was going to ask you guys. Should I keep these things or do they stay or do they go if I'm about to have a new roommate? Should I stay or should I go now? All right. The first one, and I sent you a few pictures of these, including Rex and Effect, LL Cool J,

[42:00]and Death Row's Greatest Hits. My old CDs. Aaron once before has said he got rid of CDs and he regretted it. Keep them, yes. What are you guys' thoughts on, Matt, Rob, do you guys have CDs or do you get rid of the old CDs? Get them out. Get them out of there. I think you've got to get rid of them. I don't know. I've got these CDs. What do you do with them? You can't do anything with it. You can buy a CD player. You can get it back. I just can't get CDs. Can I ask you, are these CDs in a folder?

[42:30]Are they in a big-ass black case logic folder? These CDs, some were in a folder and a lot of them were in shoeboxes that were still in the case. I bet there was about three to four hundred of them. Three to four hundred? I should say, Rob, there was three to four hundred. They're gone. Oh, you did get rid of them? The vinyl has been kind of universally known as been like the best way to listen to a hard copy of music, right? I mean, am I saying that right, Rosie?

[43:00]Yeah, I think so. It's analog, so it's, yeah. CDs came in, eight tracks, they're gone. CDs came in and it was like smaller and they could fit more stuff on them so that's why they became popular but the sound quality was not what vinyl was and so that's why vinyl has now surpassed CDs again and everything. I mean, there's a lot of reasons that physical media is not there anymore so I just think that it's not coming back around. You know, vinyl came back around. I don't, I cannot imagine

[43:30]the time when CDs come back around. No, that doesn't mean you can't listen to your own that you love and that you may have your CDs Aaron, I had to get rid of Death Row's Greatest Hits for X and Effect and LLTJ the same night. Okay, so you know what? Right now, you can hold on to like 10, Russell. This is trending through this right now, Russell. Hey, I held on to one. One. I don't know where it's at but I threw, I did not throw away one. What's that? It is from 2001 600 pounds of twisted steel

[44:00]at Sex Appeal. It is the recording of me, Aaron and the Pleasure Principle when we had a radio show in college where I drank the gallon of milk from the air and projectile vomited while Aaron and the Pleasure Principle made comments. Are we going to are we going to release that on the Beck Did It Better? We're going to release that, don't we? I don't know how to play it. Oh, no. We'll figure it out. We have a listener who can help. I'm sure there's a listener who'll help with that. In a similar vein, another thing that I haven't made a decision on but they're sitting there

[44:30]staring me in the face. Hundreds of them. I got DVDs. Do you throw them away? Do you donate them? What do you do with DVDs? Toss. Go. Keep them. Keep ten. Keep ten of them. Yeah, you got to keep the important ones. Keep ten of them. Yep. Get rid of them. Anything director's cut, anything that's marginally obscure, you got to keep it because you don't know if it's ever going to go away. Russell, I actually found something that you were going to throw away. It's the translator that you used with the date. Let's see what happens if I push play. It is usually not this gray. Hmm. That's weird.

[45:00]I wish our listeners could see how long Rob worked on that joke. What? It was a while. The bad thing is that could have applied to a lot of parts of it, which is not good. Russell, you got to keep... Did you keep rounders? I haven't done anything with the DVDs yet, but what's the point of keeping ten? Why do you keep ten? What's the purpose, Matt? It's like having books, right? Like, do you really need to have books? No, but you got a few books in your house so people can come over

[45:30]and they can kind of see what you're about, what you're into, things like that. So you got a few records out, you got a few books, you can have a few DVDs just so people know. When people... People come in and see that you've got rounders out there. Oh, this guy. He goes to Vegas. He's, you know, he likes to gamble with life. He'll be there in January 2024. He's moving in out of the safety of a nice house. You guys, just for a good warning, I've got like a dozen of these. I don't have three. Can I tell you, Russell, what I would do? I would have your roommate do a boudoir photo shoot.

[46:00]That is what my wife did. And then I put those pictures onto those... What do you call the things you stick on the walls? Like the... Fat heads? No. Oh, no. You have a fat head on your wife in a boudoir photo? Oh, no. I'm going to pass out. Oh, no. A fat head? It's like there's Carl Slim Pickens' fat head and there's my wife in the boudoir photo. It's like, here's my wife in a chair, right? Except Philip Rivers throwing a bomb. Oh, my God. My wife's pregnant now? That's how virile

[46:30]Philip Rivers is? Is that your wife or Rodney Hampton? No, but I got on those like little square things you stick. God, I can't even think what they're called now. And then they're up in the house. Like, so it's a piece of art in her house and the girls are mortified every time their friends come over because they go, oh, there's your mom in her underwear. And I'm like, still not. So that's what I would do. Next thing on the list, getting rid of old junk or things, Christmas decorations. Do you guys have Christmas decorations from trees you've had? Like, do you just keep Christmas decorations forever? Do you ever have to

[47:00]do you ever have to consolidate and get rid of them or do you just keep everything? Eventually, you're going to have you've got your mom is probably passed down a few like key ornaments to you, right? You're right. You know, so you've got a few key ornaments. Eventually you get too many. So you got to hold on to the 10, 12, 20, whatever the number is. But you don't need like those that tinsel and those lights and the, you know, the weird stocking or whatever, you know, get some new stuff. Seems like the theme is consolidate down to the ones

[47:30]you really like is what you're saying, man. When in doubt, throw it out. When in doubt, throw it out. How about this one? How about this one? School yearbooks from when you were a kid, like high school, middle school, college. Keepers. Have to keep. Have to keep. No question. Yeah. Have to keepers. Yeah. Russell, here's what I figured out. You can either do one or two of these. You go over, you drive right up your road to Menards. Oh. It's on about 77th and Nicollet. You know, I fucking knew

[48:01]that was the bit. I believe it's the old location of the old Chi-Chi's, right? It is. The old Chi-Chi's. Hey, don't get Russell too excited about the old Chi-Chi's. The old Chi-Chi's. Great nachos. That's our next episode. We're going to be focusing on that aspect. Let's just put it that way. Here's what you do. You either get one or two of those totes, right, that you can carry. And you say, whatever I can fit into this one. You can be two, but, you know, try to do it down to one. Whatever I can hold into one or two of these totes.

[48:30]They can come with. That can come with. Because you can always, you always have room to store that stuff, right? And so, you know, all of these old... I'm thinking it's so funny. I don't know what's going on. Old Chi-Chi's. Old Chi-Chi's. Russell's got a thing for old Chi-Chi's. I'm still looking for the old Chi-Chi's. The old Chi-Chi's. You know what? How about your little league, your little league sports picture? It's like your team picture from little league.

[49:00]Keep them, keep them, right? Keep, keep. They think I'm no space. They stack really well with your earbuds. Russell, when I think about those old Chi-Chi's, I'm like, it's not about the dust on the table. It's about the dust on the table. It's about the dust on the bottle. It's about what's inside. You know what I mean? You're thinking about those Raisin Ranchers, right? Might be. Okay. I got a few more for you guys. Actually, Russell, I found your... I'm going to push next on your interpreter here. I want to see what you said next here. I have tried to put it in the sun more, but I overdid it. I hear the nachos are good here. All right. So you tried to put it

[49:30]in the sun more, but you overdid it. And then you went right to the nachos. I think that's smart. I think that's a good tactic. Here will be an interesting one. This one will... This might prompt a discussion. How about old baseball cards, old basketball cards, old sports cards? Throw them, keep them, keep a select few. What do you do? You get that down to like 50. The 50 you want, you know, like a Kirby Puckett and some Kevin Garnett's or something, whatever, you know, whatever you want to keep. But there's no reason to have a Sid Bream 1992 Pittsburgh Pirates card

[50:02]sitting around anymore. What if it stops? Nope. No good. I cannot... Guys, I cannot talk cards. I just can't do it. How about this one then, Rob? A taxidermied fish. Oh, Russell. Is it yours? No. Is it a family? It was a fish that I caught and my family years ago got mounted for me as a memento of a fishing night we had. Christmas gift. They mounted these fish for me. Taxidermied fish.

[50:30]Do they come with? Where do they go? Is it hanging up right now? Yes, sir. Okay, then yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that can go somewhere. Russell, you have to take... When I first moved in with my wife, I had a fake moose head. It was a doll of a moose, but I had it hung up. And guess what? I fucking hung that shit up in our apartment. You know why, Russ? It was a display of my power. Okay? It showed everybody that I was still in charge of things. Okay? And guess what? If I want to put towels in the sink after I take a shower, that's fine. And if I ask you to make me a sandwich before I go to bed, that's actually a nice thing

[51:00]to do to people is make them a sandwich and not just talk about the crumbs. Final couple digging through a junk box. A Jesse Ventura for Governor bumper sticker. Oh, yeah. He likes to keep it. Keep it. Yeah, keep it. Russell. Fit it in one... If you're not going to keep it, you better set it in your... This is a one-toed move. This is all right. This is okay. How about the last one on my list? Wait, wait, wait. I found... Before you do that, I just found... I'm going to push next on your translator. I just want to see what else it said on it. Okay. Have you seen my laptop? Also, how old are you?

[51:32]Wow. You're cutting right to the heart of things. I'll tell you guys offline afterwards why we didn't go on a second date. Last one on my list. Rob said he has a specific tote just for his Halloween costumes. One of my best Halloween costumes is a Ric Flair costume, a Nature Boy robe, the wig and everything. What happens to the Ric Flair costume?

[52:00]Keep. Keep it. You got to keep it. None of these things would you be throwing out. Let me just ask you this, Russell. If you could have sex with Ric Flair, the Nature Boy, would you? I got six letters for you, Rob. Woo! All right. So I think I got a lot of good advice from you guys. I feel like I've already thrown half of it away, but rolling going, Rob. How's it going with you? Listen, I had an accident the other day and I got to talk to you guys about it and you're not going to want to talk to me about this, okay? But I've never done this before.

[52:31]Well, about half. And it's never happened to me before and I was instantly befuddled and I instantly thought of you and then I instantly thought about why I thought about you guys is that I was going to the bathroom, right? So I was doing the above the boxers move, right? I think we can all agree that's the move, right? Or are we going through the slot? I go through. Going through the slot, Aaron? What are we doing? Above. We make it a jailbreaker or are we hopping out of the bucket? I hop over, yeah. Hopping over?

[53:00]Matt, what do you think? I don't know if I've ever gone through the slot. Going through the slot? I don't know, man. Never gone through the slot. Russell, I think you're on your own. I don't know. I don't know. You know what, Russell, though? I might start going through the slot. I might do it in solidarity with you. I might switch it up a little bit. Guys, this week, this week, should we all try going through the slot? Should we all try making a jailbreak? Yep. All right, jailbreak week. Solidarity. All of our guy friends listening out there, try doing a week of jailbreaking. Let's see what happens. And so I'm over the top, though, right? And then somehow,

[53:31]I need to look. Oh, yeah. Somehow, they were out of my box but yet under my jeans. Like, my jeans were just a little bit lower but not all the way down. So I had the whole thing out, all three parts out, right? Over my boxers. The twig and the berries? Yes. And the berries were under the jeans. So then when I was done, I yanked up on the boxers. Here's the problem with that. The jeans do not give.

[54:00]Okay? I was instantly to my knees. Devastated. Never have I gone from a feeling so good to a feeling so bad so quickly. It messed me up. Don't know what to do. Down. Just like, oh. Was the zipper involved at all? No, no zipper. It was literally just like, think about like, I don't know what, like you're shoving an orange to the end of a sock. I mean, that's what it felt like. You know what I mean?

[54:31]Like if someone put a Kimura on your junk. Oh, it was. It was like an arm bar. It was a scrotum bar. And it hurt bad. Was this at work? Was this at home? Where was this? It was at, it was at home. It was at home. So it was like, I don't know. I mean, and I know what you're asking. Why are you wearing pants? You're at home. Yeah, I get it. I don't know. Good question. Don't you hate pants? That's a Barry from Burnsville always asks. The guys think it's very funny because I'm wearing a fancy colored shirt and I stand up in my boxers.

[55:01]They think they just get a kick out of that. It is a good question, Rob. Like what percentage of the time when you're at your house, what percentage of the time are you wearing pants? Zero. They're all, they're all like, I'll start unbuttoning them in the hallway. I'm serious. I've started taking off my shoes in the elevator up to my apartment. Like I start bedding over and untying my shoes. I'm like, I'm ready to go. Maximum relaxation mode. Are you wearing pants in your house, Russell? Um, typically I'll, I'll be more comfortable if I'm in the house, but maybe that's a good question.

[55:30]Maybe if I'm going to have a new roommate, what is the, what is the minimum amount of time that there needs to be pants? Um, five percent. Five? Yeah. It's your house, man. Yeah. Yeah. What percentage of the day are you wearing pants at the house? I mean, a lot. I think, you know, but I got like nice sweat pants. It's not like I'm wearing jeans or anything. I'm just wearing something comfy. So I wear shorts a lot. Boxers and shorts. I found, Matt, you want pants that have a lot of give in the waist, just in case. You want something that's nice and elastic.

[56:00]Yeah. Just in case you need to give very quickly. Not going to give you a scrotum bar. It was, it was a nut guillotine. Yeah. All right. Let's talk about the album. Oh, is this a music podcast? Let's talk about the album. Getting the lead out? How many Led Zeppelin albums have we done now? Well, we did four. It's a lot, right? And we did, Matt, would you say we did one? We've done one, Matt, would you say we did two? One, three, and four.

[56:30]And then now this is the fourth one? Yeah. Well, we did four. No, Aaron, we did four. But what about, have we done, did we do three? Well, if we've done four, we've obviously done three. We must have done that too. We did two, yeah. We did not do three. No, we've done four. Correct. Yeah, more than three. And we've done one. And that joke, sadly, ends today with our physical graffiti joke. But we'll always have physical gratite, physical grazie. I think that's a joke that will live forever. This is four, number four, this is number four,

[57:00]Russell, we've done Led Zeppelin four at 58, Led Zeppelin at 101, Led Zeppelin two at 123. This is, 144. There's a fifth one, House of the Holy at 278, just as a quick breakdown. So, at least House of the Holy has Fool in the Rain on it. House of the Holy is before this album. So this basically is, it was released in 1975. This is a double disc, okay? Double disc. This would take up two spots in Russell's move. And this really is the album

[57:30]that a lot of people will point to and say, this is Led Zeppelin's apex of creativity and then wanting to be like a, a, I don't know, it's, it's, they were a rock band before, but now they're getting into like Pink Floyd, like, grandiose. Yeah, employing some like, it's like talking, conversing with prog rock. Yeah. And the thing is, is that like, they've always had these long songs, you know, obviously like, Stairway to Heaven. But this one, they just seem to do that all over the place. And, and so, this is a new material

[58:00]from, and some of it is, they didn't quite have enough to do a double album. So they got a lot of old songs, that they had recorded and stuck it onto the back of this album. And I think that's why the back of this album is objectively the weakest part. And so basically, this was released, it was a late release because the cover of the album, it was hard to make. It was some fancy, like, multi-layer thing. And because of that, it got really, really hyped in the US. Pre-sales were through the roof. This album debuted at number one. It sold 16 million copies.

[58:30]It's Led Zeppelin's best-selling album, which is wild to me that this is Led Zeppelin's best-selling album. And basically, this is the one where people were like, oh, they're not just a rock band, they're like a real band. So let's get into... You think the delay is like when we don't get our podcasts up right away on Tuesdays and people start getting excited for it, Rob? Yeah, they think like, oh, finally it's over. I don't have to listen to this anymore. And pretend. 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Easter time, and it's there. Listen, we haven't missed

[59:00]a Tuesday yet, Russell, and we never will. That's a guarantee. Custard pie. It's on the box. This got all the way up to number one on the Billboard 200. That's wild, isn't it? There's some funky, funky organ on this album, guys. I would say this is a good starter, Russell. I think you get the sense

[59:31]of the album right away. I think it's a good starting song. Next up, okay, it's a song about his dog, the Rover. Pfft. You know what I thought of this song? It sounds like a great villain song, like in a video, not a video game song, but like it sounds like something a villain in a movie would, it would kind of be it's the vibe it gives off, right? If you walked out to this as a wrestler, you'd be like, you'd be like kissing

[60:01]your opponent's girlfriend and stuff like, I don't know, can you still do that? Should I say that? That doesn't seem right. Don't do that. Don't do that, everybody. Even if you're a villainous wrestler. If you're a wrestler, don't do that. Don't do that. This album's from I hear, I hear like, Ozzy, you know, who did we just cover? Samus, yeah. It feels like they, throughout their careers, they've always been thought of a band that's just stealing other people's material. What? You know, and I hear nothing but like the early

[60:30]rock and roll deep, heavy sounds on this album and it's like a complete change from one through four for me and it feels like, oh, Ozzy Osbourne came out, Black Sabbath came out, some of those other bands, you know, and all we got to start sounding like, this is how we're going to progress and so, I don't know, it just doesn't do it for me. Is this post Black Sabbath? When was that Black Sabbath? Black Sabbath was 72 or whatever? Oh my God, you're right. I mean, that's undeniable that they were listening to Sabbath. Yeah, so. Totally. God, that's so good, man.

[61:00]Nice pull. In My Time of Dying, this was a song that Bob Dylan had on his debut album. but it was a change of tempo and dynamicism that you hear a lot in this album. Listen to this where he comes in. When did Kiss come out? When was Kiss's end? Was it later? This one was almost too hectic for me. I think it's the slide guitar or just over and over. It almost just beats you into submission, right? And is this the 11 minute song? Yep, and then it speeds up. I mean, listen to this though, Russell. I texted you guys.

[61:32]I said, this album I think is going to break me. But then you hear parts like this and you're like, oh my God, this is what I fucking want. I wrote my notes to me. This is so hectic. It's exhausting. I need a break after listening to this song. It was just exhausting for me. Maybe that's like part of the charm or part of what makes it great. It definitely evokes a feeling, doesn't it? This is a great live song. Yes. They're a jam band kind of at heart, you know, so. And to that point, they kept this part in. Now, I want you to listen

[62:00]because there's going to be a little pause here. They finish the song and then you hear John Bonham cough and Robert Plant sings, cough, because they wanted to show that most of this album was recorded live. Now, some of the slide guitar has been overdubbed. A lot of these songs had overdubbed guitar, but most of this is them jamming live and recording it, which just, it's mind blowing. But listen to this. Here's a little pause here and you can hear Bonham. Well,

[62:30]no one gets that far. It's 1055 and it's a song. But it's just so great that he does that and you hear cough, like Robert Plant. He's always like so melodic. I don't know. I would think, you know, by this time, what they've been working together years, like I would think working with three other guys for that many years, you just get sick of each other. God, you get so fucking sick of each other. Oh my God. I'm at 2.2 years with this group of guys. I know I can't stand it. 2.2 years. I'm over the limit. After a while, everything they say, you're like, let me talk. So,

[63:00]you know, they were together a couple of years before that, but you know, they're essentially seven, eight years into their time together. That seems like a long time. they stay together after this? Well, Bonham dies in 79, 80, right? And then Led Zeppelin's albums release are actually really sad because they've got one in 82 called Coda, which is, I think, all this unrecorded stuff. And then they, all of a sudden, they have another one in like 2007, 2010, 2012. And you can just see them be like, ah, we need just a little more money. Give us a little more money. Come on.

[63:30]We're Led Zeppelin. We've earned it. From the, it looks like there's two albums after this, one in 76, one in 79 in through the outdoor in 1979. So it sounds like there's only two more albums after this that are actual. I think this is the last truly great album from Led Zeppelin. I don't think we're going to hear too many more on the list. Rob, do you think Jimmy Page's roommate ever asked him to throw away his baseball cards? I, well, he's British. I don't know if British people are way into baseball.

[64:00]What? Like, oh, Pip, Pip, I have an 87 Kent Herbeck. You know what I mean? Oh, I have the fuckhead card from the guy from the Orioles. All right. Billy Ripken. That's Billy Ripken. That's my extent of my knowledge. Fuckhead card? Fuckface. The fuckface. I'm going out of the bed. So good. This one, oh, think of a joke, is, it's Russell's underwear, Houses of the Holy. I don't know. It's so hard

[64:30]doing a podcast, guys. Definitely know this song. This is where, I don't know if this is the beginning of side two. Yep, it is. If you do the album, this side two, this song, Trample Underfoot and Cashmere. A killer. That's got to be one of the best sides of an album in music, right? Totally. I mean, it's incredible. That's the thing, is you get to this part of the album, you're like, dang, this is just cruising and rocking. They recorded this whole song, no overdubbing, live in the studio. That's wild.

[65:00]It's like perfect. And then next up, we have Trampled Underfoot, we got JPG, John Paul Jones on the clavinet. This was played at every live show post 75. This song is fantastic. We discussed this, guys, if you remember, we did the best clavinet songs ever. Some of the other ones we talked about was Billy Preston, Out of Space, we did, it was on the Talking Book episode when we talked about Superstition, Chaka Khan, Tell Me Something Good, Edgar Witter grew proud. Remember them?

[65:30]The scariest thing you'd ever. Even Tom Petty was like, I don't know, I was like, damn, well, this guy's got to get out in the sun. Parliament getting up on the downstroke, Rob, I think I maybe sent you a time cue for this. If you want to, we got to check out this clavinet solo. It's so good. That is a jam, isn't it? It's a great URL. This is the bummer is that John Paul Jones hates these guys and he's still alive.

[66:00]He doesn't tour with him. You could have three-fourths of Led Zeppelin still together. They just don't do it. It's such a bummer to me. See, I guess, yeah, there's no, there's no base plan in this part, right? He's doing the base for this. Right. Yeah. Yeah. See, I love John Paul Jones. He's so good. By the way, trampled underfoot, I was going to make a joke about getting your testicle stepped on, but you guys knew that already. So let's just pass it. Can you just imagine I made that joke? Should we make it a bit? Let's make it a bit today. How about this? Something with my jeans and boxers and the foot and I paid somebody to do it.

[66:30]Whatever. Okay, just think about it. Okay, is that a bit we can just manufacture? I'm talking, a podcast is hard. It's hard to do this. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit here, but I'm just not. That was my problem. Yeah. If you get too old and it hangs too low and you trample on them with your foot, you've got a problem. Yes, and that's why the only underwear I wear now is made out of cashmere. Call that a transition in the business, a transition. Guitar riffs are in triple meter and the voice is in quadruple meter. Now, I know what that means,

[67:00]but Aaron, can you, I mean, explain to these dummies. I don't know if he's out there what that means. All right, put that away when you're talking about your meter stick. Put it away. It means that you've got two instruments playing in different time signatures, and so the times are sometimes going to line up and sometimes they're not. You can hear the guitar go one, two, three. Three, one, two, three. Something. Oh, my God. Yeah, sometimes his voice is with the guitar, sometimes not. Matt, this definitely feels, though, you hear this song

[67:30]on an album in 75 or whenever the song was, you have to call someone, right? Yeah. Like this, but this feels like old or original Led Zeppelin to me. This feels like the stuff that they grew up with. Can I tell you guys a sick secret? Yeah. I have always hated this song. I have always hated this song. I cannot stand it. This, you hate it? I click next every time it comes up and every one of Led Zeppelin says this is their best song. They love this song. They think it's the height of Led Zeppelin. I've never been able

[68:01]to stand it. I don't know what it is. I have been saying because it's not Bonham's like most fun work, but can I tell you guys the sick secret? Yeah. The reason I know this song is because it was on the Godzilla soundtrack with Puff Daddy. Come with me. Yes. I mean, that song is no joke. Did you give me a time cue in this, Russell? Yeah, Rob, if you go to 735, go to like the end of this. This is where like, we don't, you know, Bonham is so good and you kind of almost take him for granted. You forget it, but like you listen to the end of this, like it just blew me away. Check this part of the

[68:30]drumming out at the end. I'm so good. That doesn't even feel like a human sound, does it? It sounds like a train or something. So good. Well, you know what he's got attached to the drums there? What is it? It's a phaser. It's a phaser you can put on things that it makes, it gives that sound of like that kind of that Jimi Hendrix uses a lot on his drums too. So even right now, Russell on the podcast, I'll put a phaser on my voice right now and I'm talking to you with a phaser.

[69:00]Now you talk, you have a phaser. I have a phaser and I'm hoping I can find the phaser sound effect on a garage band because if I can't, this is all getting edited out. So next throw away like my CDs and cards and everything else that had to get thrown away, I guess. What are you? Feels like you're not talking to us anymore. Yeah, I have a better question, Russell. Who's silverware are you going to use? That is what I always wonder when two people are getting together because I would be very pissed off if I had to throw away my silverware. I could not use

[69:30]if I did not have my own silverware it would not feel like my house. Who's silverware? Matt, what happened with your silverware? Well, you know, we ended up, we got married, right? So like for six, eight months, you know, we kind of just had a smorgasbord of silverware but eventually then you register and get it. You both threw away silverware eventually. Eventually, yeah. So I don't know. I mean, I don't know if we're talking too early here but I mean, there's ways to get around this. Aaron, how about you? You know, I don't think I had any

[70:00]of my own silverware. When we got started so it was just just hours. It was always hours. Now, listen, I know for a fact that if we go to Russell's silverware drawer right now over under eight and a half pieces of silverware total in Russell's house right now. Over eight and a half? No way. You think he has three sets of knife, fork, and spoon? No way. You're way off, Rob. Russell, how much silverware you got right now? If I were to, like if I were to pair a knife, fork, spoon

[70:30]and just make sets of three? No, I want to know like a spoon is one, a knife is one, a fork is one. I say eight and a half. Just say math. Over eight and a half sets? No, over eight and a half total things that you can hold on to. A spoon counts as one. God damn it. Oh, yeah. I would say in the 40 to 50 range. That's too much. How do you have that much? I would never let you move in with that much silverware. What the fuck are you doing? You don't even have a table. How do you have that much silverware? Russell, are you stealing from work? Is that what you're doing?

[71:00]You're stealing silverware from work? That's incredibly too much silverware, Russell. You're asking about... So it doesn't really matter. He's stealing from himself? You took two minutes to ask us about a bumper sticker and you have 50 pieces of silverware that you're bringing? That's wild. That's wild. I didn't say I was bringing them. I'm saying that's what I have. Seems like one of those things, you know, you got to get new plates every once in a while. You got to get new silverware every once in a while. This is a good time to... You know what you don't have to get new? Refresh. Mugs. The mugs in my house. If I showed you guys my mugs...

[71:31]I bet I got 50 mugs. I bet I got one mug for every piece of silverware, Russell. The mugs are fucking in the thing. Sarah's on a one-in-one-out. She brings a new one in, one of them's got to go. Like, Rob, just in case you have like a Tom and Jerry party or like a hot toddy party, you need all those mugs or what? There's no way. We couldn't fit that many people in our apartment for how many mugs we have. Because now Jenny goes to the Nespresso store, buys Nespresso, okay? And meanwhile, like the landfills are like crying. She's like, no, I'll just buy this Nespresso. And every time she goes,

[72:01]she gets multiple mugs that she gets for free. And I'm thinking to myself, how much is she spending where every month she's getting free mugs? And you know what all the mugs are? They're fucking ceramic. They're not even glossy. They're like the stuff you touch. And it was like scrapey, scratchy against the skin. The worst. Now let's all hear this hit Led Zeppelin song. In the light? What's your favorite Led Zeppelin song? This is a good song. This is a good song. Doesn't start out great.

[72:31]It ends really good. It's got a chant drone intro. This sounds like a 70s song. It made me think of Elton John. I kept thinking this sounds like an Elton John song. Jimmy Page has often said this is his favorite song on the album. I tend to agree. I like it. I don't like the way some of these songs are produced. I think it's too muddy for me. It's got that Rolling Stones, Main Street thing. I don't know. That's what happens when you're trying to do everything live without, you know.

[73:00]Man, that's what you're going to get. You just made a good point. That'd be like Rob's saying one of the Bob Dylan podcasts we did was his favorite episode we've ever done. No one thinks that. Highway to the Danger Zone. I remember Highway to the Danger Zone, whatever that one was, was our first true bomb. And we did it and we did it. And then I edited it and I was like, what the fuck? It was like 10 in and I was like, this is terrible. I was like, we have run out of ideas.

[73:30]Little did I know that I would cinch my nose. I would put nuts in my pants and give us hours of content and possibly up to two parody songs. Okay. Praying the next artist has a song about nuts. Like, oh, come on. The squirrel nut zippers, please. It makes so much sense. The chronic brought it all back, didn't it, Rob? We need some, we need some more dragons. We need some dragons and some, I mean. Well, that would match my philosophy. Feel how soft these nuts are. All right. Next one, Aaron, what's this next song called? Brownie Hour?

[74:02]Nailed it, Aaron. You're so smart. This is a very cool, if you were like, hey, I wish this album would have a long acoustic instrumental. Well, guess what? You're in luck. It's got a long acoustic instrumental. But this wasn't, this wasn't actually out of character for albums of this time period. Other artists would do this. Kind of beautiful. I like it. I think it's a good change up. I'm enjoying it. All right. Maybe, maybe I just,

[74:30]I don't know. I need more rock and roll. It's the end of my life, I think. You know what it is? It's the end of the school year. You can't be listening to slow songs like this at the end of the school year. I need to always be on my guard. Okay? Because I got a text the other day from my boss that said, you're fired. And I wrote back, I wrote back, LOL. And I'm hoping that buys me a little time. Did you say, can I keep the computer so I can change my sound bites? I thought it was, can I keep the computer, please? Don't open up highway to the danger zone dot wave. Final. Why? Because it's your podcast.

[75:00]You've been trying to keep secret. No, it's our worst episode. It was a B-O-M-B bomb. I remember that really affected me. I was like, I'm devoting so much of my life to this and this episode sucks. Which episode was this? I have no idea. The Bob Dylan one that's titled something, something. Highway 65. To the danger zone. That's when I still came up with it. It was like a two hour, just a slog. Just a terrible, just off. Do not go back. Like zero,

[75:30]zero, zero. See, I'm hoping when we talk about it enough, like all of a sudden you're going to see this spike when you're looking at your analytics or whatever and some Bob Dylan. So I would challenge her, but go out and listen to it. Go listen to it. We'll see a spike up and then we'll see a spike down. We'll see how good we've gotten since, you know. The best part is Aaron, I think had a fixed up microphone at that point. That's the only reason that you might want to check it out. I don't know if he had a real microphone. Probably not. Listen, next up, my favorite Led Zeppelin song, Down by the Seaside. What? Yeah, this is the queen one,

[76:01]or this is the 1920s. I want to walk with you. You're my baby. You're my baby. That was that queen one. Something like that. You guys did not like my queen impression. Sounds like they might be giants. I think one of the reasons you like it, Rob, is that guitar effect. That's called a tremolo, I was reading. It changes the volume of your signal at a certain speed and depth. Do you think it could be a tremolo? We're going to get a tremolo. Some Wilco. Which is, it's often confused, Rob, with a vibrato, which changes the pitch

[76:31]of the signal. Oh. So I thought that was a pretty cool. That's so weird. Why would my wife have bought a vibrato? I found the box in the garbage the other day. She bought a vibrato. That's so strange. And you know who was on the cover of it? This is the weird part. It was Lenny Kravitz. Maybe that's it. It's a guitar thing. She got us a vibrato from Lenny Kravitz. A vibrato. Yeah. Anyways, I started thinking,

[77:00]man, that's a guitar. Are you going to get a guitar? Are you going to get a guitar? That would have come my way, by the way. That would be the tagline, just to let you know. What? On the Lenny vibrato? On the Lenny Kravitz vibrato. We didn't have a setting where when you turn it on, it would go, Like anybody uses those settings. Like anybody who wants to know what it's like, hey, I wish my vibrato would go, like a car alarm. Wee-oo.

[77:30]Wee-oo. Wee-oo. Oh, I love this. I mean, it's like a telegram machine. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Finger to the c***s. How are you doing? Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Uh-oh, SOS. Signaling SOS. Sir, something's going down. If I'm lucky, whoa!

[78:01]How is this still going? This ends the Kenny, no, the Lenny Kravitz vibrato bit. Thank you. Well, that ends the Kenny Lenny vibrato bit, but this also starts the list of the greatest songs ever featuring Tremolo. Is that how it's pronounced? I think we keep calling it Tremolo until Magic Mike 69. Some people would say Tremolo. I don't know, actually. I don't know why I think it's Tremolo. Do you know what it is, Aaron? Tremolo. Well, Russell's going to tell us.

[78:31]King-size Rolo. Modulation effect. Changing the volume of your signal at a certain speed and depth. We've heard this before in a few songs. Gimme Shelter had one. Radiohead used them a lot. Born to Run used one. Aretha, Chain of Fools, Pink Floyd Money. Okay. And one of Aaron's favorites that didn't make the list because we've already talked about it once, but Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang. First song on the list. We're going to go way back. One of the earliest songs in rock to use a Tremolo.

[79:01]Tremolo? Hey, whatever you're feeling. I'm going to say Tremolo. Tremolo. One of the earliest songs to use a Tremolo from 1958. The song is called Rumble from Link Wray. You guys know this one? No. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yes. I feel like a Tarantino film right away. Can I tell you guys a dirty secret? This is the song I play when I'm making love. It is. Oh.

[79:31]Let's get ready to rumble. I don't know. It's kind of a sexy song if you think about it, or it's a very scary song. But you can hear that, can't you? That vibration. That really influenced, actually, Jimmy Page. He said he was a huge influence on him. Someone else it influenced was Pete Townsend. He said, if it wouldn't have been for Link Wray and Rumble, I would have never picked up a guitar. So I think that sound definitely had a big impact on some of the biggest guitar players that influence rock, right? Independence Day.

[80:01]Blow. Road Racer. Pulp Fiction. That was just a couple of the movies. That thing's been so many movies. You know it immediately. We're knowing you. Yeah. That's from 1974, that song. 1958. 1958? Yeah. Oh. Next on the list is just going to... Now, Russell, listen, I don't want to cause trouble, and I don't want to slow anything down, but... Tell me I'm wrong. Do you like that how... Do you like that that song is from 1958? Do you like that? I'm just saying there's opportunity.

[80:31]There's a lot of opportunities out there. Hey, someone makes me throw away too many of my baseball cards. All I have is this Honus Wagner. Is there gum in those cards? Next song on the list is from 1964. I don't know if we've ever covered this artist before. We've definitely covered the song. The song is Mona. The artist is Bo Diddley. Check this out.

[81:01]Oh, that's beautiful. Yes. Jared Pace is some of the biggest artists that influenced him. We talked before about how they've taken a lot of influence or stolen stuff before, but he said Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley were two of the ones that really influenced him. I think you hear that kind of... I don't know if you'd call it wobbling

[81:30]or underwater noise. I don't know how you'd describe it, Rob, but... I could see that. And you see Tony Danza in the background nodding annoyingly. Yeah. This is a great idea. I like this. Next song on the list is from 1966. So this one is still before this album. I think Matt might like this one. This is Buffalo Springfield. The song is For What It's Worth. Oh, so good. Oh, right.

[82:00]Anthem of a Generation. I did a report to this song in school where we had to pick a song and dissect the lyrics. And I was like... And I was giving my speech. I'll never forget. I was giving my speech. And I was like, summertime in... What is it? What a summer for the heat, right? And I was like, well, 1968 was a famously hot year. And I'll never forget because Kristen Julesrode who ended up going to St. Olaf was like, don't you think heat means the cops? And I was like,

[82:30]for those of you at home, my eyes got real big. I was like, huh? Because you just know she's right, but you can't admit it because you were supposed to have researched for the speech. What a bummer. What a jerk to call you out in front of the class like that. Right in front of the whole class. Jeez. I know. And then you know what happened then when she called me out and embarrassed me publicly. I was rock hard. Immediately. R-H-E. R-H-E. And the rest of the song is good too. I gotta go.

[83:00]The one time I did want to tuck it in my waistband. You know what I mean? What? When you had the R-H-E up on stage? Yeah, I was like, it's almost up to my waistband. I can almost get it up there. Oh, God. What? What? So I don't get like, so you're at work and you're wearing pants and you go over the top. No, I don't go over the top of the pants. The pants are open. It's like a tent. The pants is open. I'm out of the tent in that sense. But I'm in the sleeping bag.

[83:30]I just, I'm in the sleeping bag. Pull it out of the sleeping bag. Okay. Yeah. So my understanding is Buffalo Springfield had Steven Stills and Neil Young. Is that right, Matt? Yep. Yep. And so Steven Stills wrote that, but Neil Young actually played with Led Zeppelin at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Oh, wow. And he played When the Levee Breaks with them when they got inducted. And at the end of that song, Robert Plant played a tribute to Buffalo Springfield and Neil Young. They played a bit of that for what it's worth at the very end of their induction into the Hall of Fame.

[84:00]Which I thought was really cool. And Neil Young said that Jimmy Page is one of the few guitarists to kind of like make him feel like an amateur. He said, I feel like a hack compared to him. He can really play. Russell, I swore to God I thought that bit was going to end with Beck also coming out and playing with him. I was like, this is a Beck bit. He's bringing up a... No. Speaking of trying, I'll try to do the fourth song on this list. This is from 1985. We did the Smiths once before, didn't we? The Smiths? Yeah, we did. The Smiths. I don't think we covered

[84:30]this song. I could be wrong. The song is How Soon Is Now. The tremolo on this is out of this world. And it like is back and forth in the headphones. Shit. Isn't that badass? That's pretty sweet. R.I.P. Andy Rourke just died this week. He's their bassist for the Smiths. Another song that everybody knows. You just know this song from it's been in so many things. It feels like something it might be on the Wedding Singer soundtrack I think, right? Yeah, it was in the 80s.

[85:00]It was from the 80s. It was on the Wedding Singer. Johnny Marwa. We were talking about Bo Diddley earlier. He definitely was heavily influenced by the Bo Diddley song that we were listening to earlier. That kind of back and forth. I don't know what that shuffle or swing. I don't know what you'd call it, but he was definitely influenced by that. So that was cool. Last song on the list. This is one of Matt's favorites. I got to make sure I get some from Matt. This is from 2004. Heavily tremolo or tremolo on this one too. It's Boulevard of Broken dreams by Green Day. Absolutely hear it right away, right?

[85:31]Yeah. Jeez. I walk a lonely road And I really love President Bush He's not actually that bad I cannot think I'll ever do a whole album where I say something else and then turn it into a musical But that's not selling out for some reason. Oh no. Those lyrics. I love that sound, Russell. That tremolo is so good. Good start to the song. I think Green Day is heavily

[86:00]influenced by more punk bands like the Ramones is what I was reading but he said when he grew up he was really exposed to a lot of Led Zeppelin so I find it hard to believe that there wasn't some influence there, right? Yeah, absolutely. That was a you know what? That was easy a top five list I would say. A tremolo. A tremolo. A tremolo. That was tremolo. And I'll tell you what I'm going to find a tremolo sound effect and put it on my voice right now. That was a top five list, Russell. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. All right. Next up.

[86:30]Wait, was that the sound effect? Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. So listen. Who do you think? Oh. We already played Down by the Seaside. Didn't we? Shit. Your favorite. By the way, who do you think influenced this sound? Listen to this. Listen to Down by the Seaside again. Who do you think influenced this? Neil Young. This is Neil Young. Yeah, they said it was totally a Neil Young song. They just basically ripped it off. Now, he did not sue them unlike a story coming up. Next up, 10 years gone.

[87:00]When they would play this in concert, he would play a three-neck guitar that had a 12-string, a 6-string, and a ukulele to get this sound. All right, not ukulele, a mandolin. I'm trying to figure out how that would work. Rob, if you could get that correct, it's a mandolin, right? Yeah, a mandolin. Like in my kitchen. Mandalin. It's a mandalin. It's a mandolin. I, that was one of my favorite Star Wars. A mandolin. Rob, if you played a triple-neck guitar when you were in college, how much action would you,

[87:30]if I would have shown up my freshman year of college with a giant triple-neck guitar and a huge amplifier to put into a dining dorm room, I bet living with me was awesome. Oh, what's that? My roommate is, you know, I thought about that because the other day I said, who the fuck would have drums? I had a bass guitar in my freshman room for a while that I would just play loud. I remember once there was study hours, you know, and then during none, there's that one hour where you didn't have to be quiet during finals and I would crank up my bass speakers as loud as I can and just play,

[88:00]and instantly 30 seconds somebody came in and was like, can you turn that off? And I was like, what? It's loud hour. And they're like, no, it's not loud hour. It's just don't have to be quiet hour. That doesn't mean we have to be loud. And I was like, oh, I'm a shithead. I remember thinking that like, oh, I'm a really bad person. Nobody liked that. Is that when you, were you living with Jeff from Rochester? No, that was with Nick. Okay. From God knows where. Did Nick throw away your Jesse Ventura bumper stickers? Nick didn't throw away much. I'll just say that. Nick was picking up first day pamphlets the last day of school. So Nick's main thing

[88:30]was not throwing stuff away. Rob, can you go to like, we both had Mark Casual on the sheet, so we tricked each other is the worst. Can you go to like 30 seconds into the song? I want to ask Matt. I hear Pearl Jam in this song. Do you hear it or no? I can see what you're hearing. I don't know if I would necessarily agree, but. Listen to Daughter tonight.

[89:00]You'll hear it exactly. Oh, jeez. Russell with the hot take. Hot take. The other thing I heard, go to 230 and here, see if you hear this one. Okay, wait a minute. That's the Beatles. I heard Band on the Run. That's Wings. Yeah. Oh my God. You guys are listening to this album way more closely than I am. Sitting in the phone. Yeah. So I read that Wings

[89:31]was in 73, so it's about the same time, but Led Zeppelin took a few years to record all this stuff, right? Yeah, for sure. So I don't know which one came first, but I don't know. Maybe I'm just hearing things. Well, I don't get how this song is about professors. I mean, their tenure is gone. Oh, boy. That would suck. That would be bad. You don't mess with a teacher talking about their tenure, right, Rob? The wonton song. No. Night Flight. God damn it. Wonton song. Okay. Night Flight. Doesn't it sound like

[90:06]they're just drifting now? Am I wrong? It starts to sound like Boston to me. Yeah, I mean, the album's too long. Now, the wonton song. I mean, this would be a great walkout song if you're a wrestler again. Like, you come out to this. Great villain song. Great villain song. Believe it or not, they built this song around the riff. That might surprise you.

[90:30]Next up, Boogie with Stu. They were playing this with Ian Stewart from the Rolling Stones, the pianist. And it kind of blew my mind because, first of all, it's a bizarre. This is when it feels like this is just a dumping ground for their old stuff, right? Like, is this a song? They just need to add one or two to fill it out. This is barely a song to me. Like, a song that should be on an album. Bare. This is bare. It sounds like a jangle piano or a tack piano background,

[91:01]doesn't it? There's no way we've done a list on tack pianos, is there? Oh, we have. I'm sure we have. That song was based on a song called Ooh My Head. Do you guys know who sang Ooh My Head? Ooh. Richie Valance. Oh. This is fucking Richie Valance. Damn, sounds great. Does that blow your mind that that's Richie Valance? Yeah, kind of. No, wait a minute.

[91:31]Wait a minute. Hello. Hello. Hey, baby. This is the big papa speaking. I heard you playing one of my favorite albums by Richie Valance. Are you playing La Bamba? Huh? Is that La Bamba? No, the other one. Oh, that's the other one? What song are they playing? They were playing... Oh, shit. They were playing Ooh My Head, that famous Richie Valance song. Two songs, baby. Richie and I both had multiple hits

[92:01]that we like to sing about all the time, baby. Definitely not two songs in and Buddy Holly had to come out and do two and a half hours after that, baby. Oh, yeah. The big bopper. What would have happened if after you perished, all your baseball cards got thrown away? How would you have felt about that? Oh, baby. I had the biggest collection of baseball cards you've ever seen, baby. I had Ken Herbeck, he played first base, and Kirby Puckett, something wrong with his face. I had Dennis Eggerly,

[92:31]he had a mustache now. And I also had something Chuck Knobloch. I mean, you can make... There's lots of raps. All right, I gotta go. Bye, everybody. See you, bopper. Boy. You know what? It's getting strong again. That bit. It's coming back strong. I would say killed it. I would say it was a top two bit today. Aaron, you're kind of quiet on Led Zeppelin. You've historically not been a huge fan of their albums. What do you think of this one? I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know why this one isn't...

[93:00]And I've ragged on them for not using their own material. And then here they are writing original material. And I don't know why this album just doesn't grab me the same way that maybe... I'm gonna say something right now. This is why. They have a fucking song on this album that they recorded outside. This is recorded... It starts with an airplane going overhead. I was upset. Black Country Woman. It's recorded outside. It sounds terrible. Oh, there's the tack piano.

[93:31]There's no question there. Why would you be recording outside? This sucks. I guess they could do whatever they wanted. This is the worst. Can't stand it. All right. Next up... You think it sucks? Doesn't that just sound like any old Rolling Stones song to you? Yeah, I don't like it. I don't... It doesn't sound... I mean, these are her songs where they were like, hey, I got a drum beat and I've got a piano thing. Let's just put it on the album. You can just tell it's album filler.

[94:00]Listen, I'm not going to be negative anymore. Nobody wants to hear me be negative. Sick Again. This is about their experience meeting groupies. I got sick again when I had to throw my Billy Bass fish out last night. Oh, no. There's like... There's something... I don't know. To me, maybe it's Rob's sound quality. There's something thinner sounding about this. Let's get into everybody's favorite part of the episode. It's the rating system.

[94:31]Oh, there's a bone on it. I forgot that was the icon. Every time. It gets me. Past Rob, you did it again. You made me laugh. Rob, this one might be worse than Highway 61. Remember when we were... You had no energy at the beginning of this one and we said we'd be fine. We'd have a lot of fun. Yeah. No, you know what? The problem is I have a big, big bottle of pills. It says, in case of episode worse than Highway 61,

[95:00]please open and ingest. So, I got to see about this. Listen, is this album physical graffiti? It's a double. It's a double-double from 75. Okay? Is this album... All right. Is this album... You know what? You just go to the bathroom. You don't even think about where things go. You just do it naturally. That's a rolling well-toned. It's perfect. Okay? Is this album... You're taking it out. You're putting it through the fly. Everything's working great. Hey, guess what?

[95:30]Rolling... It's a rolling bone. It should be higher up on the list or in this case, a lower number which, of course, we would have covered earlier with Highway 61, 1, 4, any albums like that. 1999. I mean, there's a lot of earlier albums that are higher on the list with lower numbers and I think we all know what I'm talking about. Or is this putting your nuts over your boxers, getting them pinched between your jeans and that is a definite rolling groan. Okay? And also makes you... Think about how old you're getting. Is this... What would you say this album is?

[96:00]Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin. Russ, what do you think? I don't know. I think it's too long. There's too many songs that are... If you get an 11, 12-minute song, it can't make me want to turn it off. There are too many songs here that I was like, I don't need any more of this. Too many songs that I just felt hectic and kind of disjointed to me. But this album does have Houses of the Holy, Trampled Underfoot, and Cashmere on one side of an album. One side of a record. You buy this album

[96:30]and it's got four sides and you get that on one of them. I don't see how you would ever be disappointed with that. So for me, I don't know if I'll come back and listen to it again. To me, this is a win-amp list. I'm taking three songs off this and I'm ditching the rest of them. So I'm going to say it's rolling groan a little bit too high on the list, but those three songs are pretty epic. So still worth a listen. I'll tell you what, in some of the other songs you don't know as well, you get to a couple parts and you're like, damn, this is just flying. This is rocking. And then the next song starts with a 30-second chant and you're like, oh, hard pass. Matt, what do you think? I think it's rolling groan.

[97:03]Four, what do we say? Five albums? Is this five albums? No, this is the fourth Led Zeppelin album. This is the sixth. It's not Led Zeppelin four. No. Who is it for, though, really, if you think about it? Right. No, so I think it's rolling groan. I think it should be on the list. To Russell's point, I think they've got good songs on this album. And that's why it's up there. I will add In the Light to one of my lists of songs because I do like that

[97:30]to listen to that one again. I don't know if I'll listen to this whole album again. I'd much rather listen to one, two, and four, I think, over this one. So I think they've got it right with the order of the albums. But all things considered, I think it should be lower on the list. And there's many more things that we haven't heard yet. We keep talking about that, beating that drum. And so, yeah, I think it's rolling groan. I'd be happy that's one, two, four. Rosie, what do you think? Rolling well-toned,

[98:00]rolling bone, or rolling groan? Yeah, I don't know. I just can't put this one into words or reason why I don't enjoy it as much as the other Led Zeppelins that we've heard. And it's a lot of Zeppelin in the top wherever we are. And I think there's got to be some stuff we're about to hear or will eventually hear that's going to beat this one. And it's a little long. So I'm going to go, uh, I'm going to go with that. It's a rolling groan. I got a bad feeling, guys, that in like three years we're going to look back at this album just salivating.

[98:30]Just being like, God, I wish I could listen to that album again. There's some real bangers on there. Not listening to these old Richie Valens. Uh, now listen. Unfortunately, you guys are incorrect. This gets a rolling double album incarceration. Double album incarceration? There is no such thing as a good double album. They should all be illegal. Nobody has ever made one. You come up with a double album, you should be arrested. There is no such thing as a good double album. There is no double album that could be not made into a better single album. Period. End of story. Don't want to do any research

[99:00]to look it up. What about the White Album? I like the White Album. I'll take that double album. You could make it a single. Some people would say that. Uh, listen. Next up. Okay. Oh, by the way, I wrote, the second album on this makes me want to choke on my own vomit. But I'm not going to say that. Disrespectful to John Bonham. Next up. Now. Oh, wow. But, next up. Now. I wish I could have, now. I wish I could have heard. And you got mad at me

[99:30]for going to the 27 Club in Florida in Fort Lauderdale and you pull a joke like that? I was furious with you, Russell. I was so goddamn mad I slammed my hands onto my counter. I said, kids, get in here. You're not going to believe what Russell did. He went to the 27 Club and they said, what's that? And I said, well, that's a club where they have everyone who died when they're 27 on the wall. Yeah. My kids go, why would anybody ever go there? I said, I don't know. But he did. He went there and then he had a story about it. Why would anybody go to a place where people had just died? Makes no sense.
