We contextualize the subject and then we take it track by track. In the end, we"ll tell you if you should spin it or bin it.

2021/03/04

Good evening! In the 1960's, Rock's first supergroup reared its head and Cream ruled the world for about 24 glorious months. Unfortunately, no other supergroup was able to fully wear the mantle from that point on. But nearly a quarter century later, Ginger Baker, the exceedingly sane and uber-talented drummer ends up with Masters of Reality and records an album called Sunrise on the Suffer Bus. Duncan picked the tunes and I followed his lead. Check it out with us! DMA Podcast

In 1974, Judas Priest was signed to a major label. They'd recently recruited a tall, handsome, felt kimono adorned singer, and Glen Tipton. Probably no one thought that this band was going to change the face of the world with a single show, but they did, but what did they sound like when they were still feeling their oats. Come join us as we're joined by Judas Priest Superfan, Ritchie Randall of Joplin, MO's GRAVEHUFFER. He tells us about his new record and this very old one too. DMA Podcast

In 1994, just one month before the Landmark "reunion" album of Unledded by Page and Plant was about to drop, John Paul Jones, the man whose phone number they couldn't quite remember, beat them to the punch. Release in September, John Paul Jones and Diamanda Galas released The Sporting Life, an album of all new tunes instead of live versions of classics. It's not the kind of thing that many would expect out of classic rock fans' favorite mandolin player, but check it out with Nik and Duncan! DMA

In January 1986, Warner Brothers Records released what was to be the first solo album by Heavy Metal God, Tony Iommi, but just like when "Born Again" was dropped, Don Arden and the label insisted this record be called Black Sabbath.

2020/12/03

In 1984 Meat Loaf late of Bat Out of Hell Fame, released his first album without the benefit of his writing partner, Jim Steinman, for the most part. The album was buttressed by the fiery guitarwork of Bob Kulick along with cameo appearances by Roger Daltrey and Clare Torry. This album is definitely a mixed bag of rock anthems, but is it something you should take the 45 minutes of your life to listen to? Come find out with Duncan and myself. DMA Podcast
