3+ y ago55:03

55:03

In a career that has spanned an impressive sixty years, the great American troubadour, Neil Diamond, has given the world plenty of hits (and a few misses). One of the more fascinating moments in this career came when he joined forces with Robbie Robertson of The Band (much to the chagrin of Robertson's bandmates) for 1976s Beautiful Noise. While th…

46:16

There was no escaping the Fine Young Cannibals and their chart-topping album, The Raw and the Cooked, in 1989 and 1990. Combining new wave, techno, and soul sounds, the album was #1 for seven consecutive weeks during the summer of 1989, and their lead singer, Roland Gift, graced the cover of Rolling Stone, was named one of People's 50 Most Beautifu…

The David Gates 80th Birthday Tribute 59:24

3+ y ago59:24

59:24

As the lead singer and principal songwriter of the pioneering 1970s soft rock group, Bread, David Gates was one of the decade's most successful and accomplished songsmiths. Releasing six studio albums in their less than a decade together, Bread had more than a dozen hit singles (five of which peaked in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 between 1…

Different Class - Pulp (1995) 53:30

3+ y ago53:30

53:30

Though they had been together since the late 1970s, Sheffield, England's Pulp would ride the Britpop wave of the 1990s to finally achieve superstar status in the UK and beyond. Fronted by the cheeky and lanky singer/songwriter, Jarvis Cocker, the group combined new wave, disco and synth-pop sounds with Cocker's irreverent, witty, and often times de…

Fleetwood Mac (1975) 50:19

3+ y ago50:19

50:19

By the mid-1970s, Fleetwood Mac were a well-established blues/rock band with a cult following and a revolving door of guitarists. Widespread commercial success, however, had eluded them. That would all change in 1975 with the addition of a brilliant young guitarist and singer, Lindsey Buckingham, and his incredibly talented on-again/off-again girlf…

Genesis (1983) 43:13

3+ y ago43:13

43:13

Though it had been fifteen years since their debut, Genesis released their eponymous album in the fall of 1983. This was a fitting move, as the album signaled both a change in the group's songwriting process, and also a move toward a new, more accessible pop/rock sound with traces of their progressive roots interspersed periodically. Across the cou…

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs - Derek and the Dominos (1970) 49:22

3+ y ago49:22

49:22

Rock and Roll can often times be a bit of a soap opera, and the circumstances surrounding the making of this landmark album were no exception. Addicted to heroin, drinking heavily, and obsessed with a gorgeous blonde model (who happened to be married to his best friend, George Harrison), a young Eric Clapton assembled a stellar line-up of musicians…

All That You Can't Leave Behind - U2 (2000) 59:26

3+ y ago59:26

59:26

The 1990s were quite the decade for U2. They reinvented their sound and style with the daring album, Achtung Baby, and then quickly released the equally impressive follow-up album, Zooropa, less than two years later. But 1997s Pop proved to be a commercial and critical disappointment, and left many wondering if Bono and the boys were starting to ru…

The Bends - Radiohead (1995) 50:24

3+ y ago50:24

50:24

Despite the massive commercial success of their debut single, Creep, in 1993, most critics dismissed Radiohead as a one-hit wonder. But two years later, their sophomore effort, The Bends, took the world by storm and by surprise. Filled with dark and lovely ballads, soaring vocals, and grinding guitars, the album would go on to be considered one of …

45:11

Released nearly five years before their commercial blockbuster, Brothers in Arms, made them MTV superstars, 1980s Making Movies is considered by most critics and fans to be Dire Straits' true masterpiece. Though it contains only seven tracks, each of them tell a spectacular tale (from star-crossed lovers, to a sultry girl on roller skates, to the l…

Hot Fuss - The Killers (2004) 45:45

3+ y ago45:45

45:45

When it was released in the summer of 2004, Hot Fuss- the debut album from the Vegas-based band, The Killers- took America (and eventually the world) by storm. Chock-full of catchy, anthemic songs and a synth-laden sound that calls to mind the best of 1980s New Wave, Hot Fuss went on to become one of the most well-received albums of the new millenn…

Bete Noire - Bryan Ferry (1987) 45:52

3+ y ago45:52

45:52

From his early days as the frontman for the pioneering art-rock band, Roxy Music, right up until present day, the great Bryan Ferry has crafted both a sound and style that has been imitated countless times, but never quite duplicated. In honor of this suave and dapper crooner and songwriter's 75th birthday on September 26th, Jon and Chris take a lo…

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 - George Michael (1990) 43:56

3+ y ago43:56

43:56

His upbeat and snappy 1988 solo debut, Faith, made him an unexpected global superstar and- in his own words- ‘every little hungry schoolgirl’s pride and joy.’ But with his 1990 follow-up, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, the late George Michael did an about-face and released a stripped-down, deeply personal collection of songs that reflected his ow…

Hotel California - Eagles (1976) 59:49

59:49

There isn't much to be said about the 1976 masterpiece from the Eagles, 'Hotel California,' that hasn't already been said. And yet, in the Season Two premiere of Listen Closely with Jon & Chris, the two manage to devote an entire hour to the album. Featuring their trademark polished harmonies, Hotel California also includes some of the finest work …

Flesh + Blood - Roxy Music (1980) 47:48

3+ y ago47:48

47:48

Widely regarded as one of the most influential bands of all time (they're Jon’s #1 favorite band) and long praised by critics, Roxy Music were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame in 2019. Yet their 1980 album, Flesh + Blood, was largely panned by critics and dismissed by many die-hard Roxy Music fans. In the final episode of season one …

After a five-year disappearing act which landed him on a mountaintop surrounded by Buddhist monks, the charming and eloquent Canadian singer-songwriter/poet/ladies man returned to the music scene refreshed and reinvigorated with several new songs (ten, to be exact), Cohen also joined forces with this album's secret weapon: Sharon Robinson, a multi-…

58:19

On July 13th, 1985, the Live Aid concerts were held simultaneously in London and Philadelphia. They featured the top pop and rock musicians of the day, and over sixteen hours of live music. Organized by a fading post-punk/new wave performer (Bob Geldof) the purpose of the concerts (which were referred to as a 'Global Jukebox') were to raise money f…

Silk Degrees - Boz Scaggs (1976) 46:45

4y ago46:45

46:45

Perfect July 4th Weekend listening, this landmark album from the legendary Boz Scaggs is blue-eyed 70s soul at its absolute finest. Featuring incredible musicianship, smooth vocals, and slick production, the album is filled with infectious melodies and bizarre lyrics (track #2, 'Georgia,' is not an ode to the Peachtree state, but is instead about a…

Born in the U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (1984) 43:15

4y ago43:15

43:15

A monumental album from The Boss. Chris loves it, Jon has mixed feelings about it. But both agree that this is one of the most important and significant rock albums of the 1980s and perhaps even of all time. Listen as Chris gets all professorial while discussing the finer points of the title track, and Jon spends a large part of the episode singing…

Jon and Chris look back on twenty-five years since high school graduation. They are joined by their old friend and classmate, Joe Beleznay, and the three take a nostalgic trip down memory lane and revisit the good (and not so good) songs that defined the long, hot, crazy summer of 1995.

Summer is kicking into high gear, and in the midst of Covid-19 and nationwide unrest, it's time for a little distraction. And what better way to do that than with with the seminal glam rock album from the late, legendary, iconic David Bowie?!

Laid - James (1993) 47:26

4y ago47:26

47:26

One of the most underrated bands of the 1990s (and beyond) is undoubtedly the multi-talented Manchester band, James. Produced by the legendary, Brian Eno, their 1993 album - which contains the hit song, 'Laid'- is widely considered to be one of the best to come out of the UK in the 1990s. Take a close listen as Jon and Chris examine the album, and …

Yacht Rock Retrospective/Summer 2020 Kick-Off 1:03:30

1:03:30

This genre of music (often referred to as 'Yacht Rock' or Marina Rock') is so near and dear to both Chris and Jon that they obnoxiously devote over an hour to it. Listen to this often entertaining and occasionally rambling analysis of the smooth, easy sounds of the late-70s and early-80s. And what better way is there to launch a summer of isolation…

Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too - The New Radicals (1998) 35:41

4y ago35:41

35:41

Wait. What?! Weren't these guys a throwaway one-hit wonder? Guess again and listen closely. The album is a wild rollercoaster of a ride, but Jon and Chris make a compelling argument for this being one of the finest (and most misunderstood) albums of the 1990s.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John (1973) 32:57

4y ago32:57

32:57

Chris celebrates his birthday, and Jon uses the word 'disillusionment' 63 times in thirty minutes. The two also discuss what is widely considered to be Elton John and Bernie Taupin's masterpiece, an album that seems ironically apropos for quarantine life.

Imperial Bedroom - Elvis Costello and the Attractions (1982) 32:41

4y ago32:41

32:41

Mysterious, angry, boozy, sweeping. These are just a few words to describe this often underrated 1980s masterpiece by Elvis Costello and the Attractions. The album finds Costello at the peak of his powers as a singer/songwriter, and the album's production was unlike anything he had done before or since.Listen as Chris and Jon analyze this haunting …

Achtung Baby - U2 (1991) 30:57

Dark, brooding, funky, and sexy. This album reintroduced the world to U2, who returned after a lengthy hiatus with a new sound and a new style. Chris and Jon take a close look at this masterpiece, and discuss its staying power and how- nearly thirty years after its release- it is still as relevant, intense, and bold as ever.…

No Jacket Required - Phil Collins (1985) 30:17

4y ago30:17

30:17

He was everywhere in 1985, as a singer, songwriter, drummer, producer, actor (!). But how well does Phil Collins' wildly successful, seminal 1985 album No Jacket Required hold up 35 years later? Take a listen as I'm joined by my friend and fellow music nostalgia fanatic, Chris Ciarmiello, as we pull apart anything and everything about this synth-he…

Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones (1971) 25:35

4y ago25:35

25:35

Mick, Keith and the boys at their swaggering and sexy best. Not just a landmark Rolling Stone's album, but the benchmark by which all other great rock albums are measured. Doom and gloom lurk at every corner of these finely crafted ten songs, and while the Stones would have a hell of a run in the 1970s (and beyond) it's questionable that they would…
