105 The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet (1968)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/08/27

Mick puts down his Majesties' wizard hat and Keith picks up open E and D tuning on the guitar as The Rolling Stones pound thru 1968 with something to prove - resulting in Beggars Banquet - the album when The Rolling Stones became The STONES.

104 The Smiths - The Queen is Dead (1986)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/08/20

The best rock album ever made by a band with a frontman pretending to not have a penis. The gloriously unwieldy catalog of The Smiths is tremendous front to end - but there was a little extra specialness happening with The Queen is Dead as The Smiths closed out their final full year of existence.

103 Steve Miller Band - Book of Dreams (1977)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/08/12

Classic rock radio giveth much thanks to that Steve Miller Greatest Hits album with the gay horse head on the cover. And most of those laser-beamy soft rock classics were birthed on Book of Dreams - Steve Miller Band's tenth and most recent LP at the time. Book of Dreams dropped only one year before the Greatest Hits album - basically rendering it obsolete to the average fan while still in the racks. Weird move but B.O.D. still rocks and is one of the few reasons to jump off the Steve Miller

102 The Doors - The Soft Parade (1969)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/08/06

After neck-to-nutting The Doors discography in chronological order I was like 'what is up with The Soft Parade?' It might not be the best Doors album - but it definitely has the most personality - the sound of the biggest band in America having a temper tantrum in real time.

101 Roky Erickson - The Evil One (1981)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/07/30

Roky Erickson barely survived the 1960s - lost his mind during the 1970s - and still somehow managed to release his most awesome LP in 1981. The Evil One is a treasure chest of deep tracks about fictional ghouls and demons that might actually be reality to Roky. We also welcome Bemba and Bana to the crew.

100 Various Artists - Space Echo - The Mystery Behind...

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/07/23

Fifteen track gift from Analog Africa proving that you can't spell Funaná without F-U-N. Bemba Restrepo's discovery on the shores of São Nicolau adds an extra jolt of weirdness to the traditional sounds of Cabo Verde.

099 Merl Saunders/Jerry Garcia/John Kahn/Bill Vitt -...

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/07/16

Keystone Berkeley ran live music shows for twelve years and also served as a favorite hangout spot for rockers living in the Bay Area. Merl Saunders and Jerry Garcia were two of those - and had been ripping it up together regularly for a year and a half when they decided to record their action to tape. Live at Keystone was the result and is a real-time capture of a musical friendship between two fat guys at peak electric output.

098 Gelli Haha - Switcheroo (2025)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/07/09

Gelli Haha is a new act and it is my job as Mr. Cool music show host to alert you of her existence. Switcheroo is fun-ass dance music - slammers about Italian desserts and pissing in glass jars that sound more like little electric kisses than songs.

097 Bleached - Welcome the Worms (2016)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/07/02

I love Bleached tremendously - so it's on a curve when I say Welcome the Worms is one of the better no-fuss rock records of the past decade - a controlled frenzy of catchy songs made by an instantly-likable band. Also - the Canseco Twins find themselves on a path to fantasy fulfillment - turns out that fantasy is only four blocks away.

096 Daft Punk - Homework (1997)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/06/25

Before Daft Punk got the robot sex change operations and became the sound of global gloss there was Homework - the self-financed and home-recorded debut. And it's fantastic.

095 The Replacements - Hootenanny (1983)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/06/18

While not the most coveted 'Mats LP - Hootenanny is the one that got them out of the icy Jesse Ventura-ness of their beloved Minnesota - and on the road to alt-rock knighthood. This is where Paul Westerberg began to fully embrace the joys of socially ergonomic songwriting...sometimes.

094 Sven Wunder - Eastern Flowers (2020)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/06/11

Here we are blessed with a baker's dozen of Anatolian-flavored funk nuggets via the side project of a Swedish film and television composer.

093 The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground...

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/06/04

The eponymous third aka Grey Album from 1969 began the second half of the VU's run - the forgotten half - when they were an actual touring rock and roll band trying to pop big. No Warhol, no New York City and no John Cale. A deep track dynamo without the literal AND figurative feedback of the past. Lou's older brother Roy shows up though.

092 Amanaz - Africa (1975)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/28

Back to Zamrock with Amanaz (Ask me about nice artistes in Zambia). The group only made one album - 1975's Africa - but that's all that is needed to ingest the 'One Zambia, one nation, three chords' spirit.

091 Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti (1975)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/21

Led Zeppelin return from the meadows of Bron-Yr-Aur, shave the beards and begin another three album run that would lead them to the top of King Shit Mountain. They would get one last look from its peak with Physical Graffiti - a deep track orgy that showcases Zep at full creative mast.

090 Missing Persons - Spring Session M (1982)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/14

A new wave band made up of musically-gifted members of Frank Zappa's backing band, Missing Persons dropped a solid debut in 1982 that's kind of a paradox - loose music made by the tightest of musicians. Oh, and they also had a singer that nailed Prince.

089 Mudhoney - Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge (1991)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/07

The same year their Seattle cohorts made flannel globally sexy Mudhoney stayed local and loyal to their friends at Sub Pop and released Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge - an unrelenting pounder that sounds the beating heart of the Grunge Hunx Dynasty.

088 Pino D'Angiò - Balla! (1981)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/29

Disco was becoming played out in America at the start of the 1980's but it was just getting started in Italy. Pino D'Angiò landed a YMCA-level Italian hit with the song Ma Quale Idea in 1980. The following year he unleashed the full Power of Pino with his debut LP Balla! This is Italo-Disco at it's Satanic best.

087 Wall of Voodoo - Call of the West (1982)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/23

WoV was way too loose with the drizzugs to build any sort of career sustainability - but they managed to uncork the forgotten classic Call of the West along the way - angular art rock that cuts through the collective 1982 whoosh of parachute pants.

086 Ghetto Brothers - Power Fuerza (1972)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/15

The Ghetto Brothers were one of thousands of street gangs that skulked the busted-ass neighborhoods of the Bronx in leather vests during the 1970's. I think they are the only one that formed a band though. Power Fuerza is the lone musical relic left behind by the good-guy gang known as the GB's.
