By listener request, Supergroups is our topic for Episode 17. We
talk about the biggest supergroups of the rock era such as Cream,
Blind Faith, The Firm, Traveling Wilburys, Highwaymen, Temple of
the Dog, Oysterhead, Asia, etc... Audience comments and
contributions are read and discussed as well, along with some
isolated conversations about Eric Clapton, Robbin Crosby, and the
never-ending criticism of our mission statement that rock as we
once knew it, is dead. Episode 17 also contains well-served
rants from Pat and Mike regarding the Metallica/Lady Gaga Grammy
Award debacle.
We thank all of our supporters who stepped up to get behind this
brand new podcast this past year. We make it a point not to focus
on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with
that comes the reality that our show may not always appeal to
everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music
along with its even longer history gives us an extremely broad
canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with
each episode. So there is still always something for everyone.
In the previous 16 episodes we've discussed The Beatles, The
Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen,
Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood
Mac, Pink Floyd, the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, Doo Wop, The
Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Steely Dan, The
Strokes, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Patti Smith, The
Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam,
The Velvet Underground, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Cars,
Cheap Trick, Heart, Dave Grohl, Jack White, digital streaming, the
state of the music industry and record labels, the effect of rap
and hip hop on rock, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Counting Crows,
Boston, The Temptations, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, the Smithereens, Suzanne
Vega, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, The Gun Club, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the
