the 70 had emergence of Disco, punk, and yacht rock. a smooth sound for those who didn't want to be ramped up into a frenzy.

With our Guest Mike the angry wizard we look at some of the most stylized offerings in the genre. Hail Michael McDonald?

Episode 24 - Songs with ”Black” in the title

There was no way to say it better. Rock and metal guys wear a lot of black, the music we listen to is dark. Why wouldn't the song titles have the word "black" in them. we picked just a few songs that feature the color in the title. there are so many more that it was hard to narrow down for this list.

Some of these changes are so drastic, that you couldn't imagine them being the same band. we look at these shifts in style with an open mind and open ears. anything else you want to open is up to you.
