035 Def Leppard - Hysteria (1987)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/04/23

Def Leppard's fourth album Hysteria is a hit machine - one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Released in 1987 and armed with seven hit songs, 'Thriller with a Mullet' was the biggest adversary to the emerging Hair Hunx dynasty at the time and continues to soundtrack our lives and pad cover band setlists to this day.

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/04/16

The only two likable members of iconic Vietnam War soundtrack band Jefferson Airplane peel away from the group in 1972 and put together a side project called Hot Tuna. Their debut studio album Burgers is pure back porch boogie warmth compared to the bloated and cold catalog of their main band. Classic rock stoner deep tracks all up in this one.

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/04/09

This is the album to start with if you're looking to cash in your PJ Harvey V-card. Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea is really just one story - an iconoclastic musician letting loose and enjoying her life. Then again, PJ Harvey says that most of her songs are not autobiographical, so who knows what.

032 T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me (1981)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/04/02

Before they morphed into a lower-tier hair hunk outfit, T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty) were a troublemakin’ L.A. punk band. Their debut album Dance With Me is an under-the-radar banger that replaces the anarchist anti-Reagan punk bend of the time with humorous songs about death in various forms.

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/03/20

More Songs About Buildings and Food is the Talking Heads second album and the first of three masterpieces with Brian Eno riding shotgun. This is the LP where the Talking Heads find their sound in real time and begin a decade-long journey making asexuality...danceable.

029 King Diamond - The Spider's Lullabye (1995)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/03/13

King Diamond was already a metal legend when he put out the semi-conceptual The Spider's Lullabye in 1995. It's almost an afterthought for King D - he considered it forgettable and difficult to make. For Boogie Chitz, The Spider's Lulz is a classic and contains some of the best 1990's dance beats this side of La Bouche - despite being a thematic European heavy metal record.

028 The Pleasure Seekers - What a Way to Die (2011 comp)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/03/05

The Pleasure Seekers were formed by the headstrong teenaged Quatro sisters of Detroit in 1964 and might just be the first all-female rock & roll band in cultural American history. They didn't record a full-length LP during their five-year run, but in 2011 the What a Way to Die compilation was released and provides us with a twelve track song history of a mighty awesome band that would otherwise be forgotten in time.

027 Giorgio Moroder - From Here to Eternity (1977)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/02/27

If you're looking to get loose with some Euro-Disco - Giorgio is your man and 1977's From Here to Eternity is the place to start. Giorgio Moroder is often cited as the 'Father of Disco' for his string of bangers with Donna Summer - and his work as composer on the soundtracks of some of Hollywood's biggest movies of the 1980s is equally compelling.

026 New York Dolls - New York Dolls (1973)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/02/20

For a band that only released two albums, and was around for such a short period of existence, the New York Dolls impact and influence on rock and roll has been extraordinary. Their eponymous 1973 debut album barely made it out of lower Manhattan at the time of release, but has grown into a cult classic and is universally regarded as the sonic prototype for the creation of punk music that would follow several years later.

025 Damien Jurado & Richard Swift - Other People's...

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/02/13

Veteran acoustic-indie hump Damien Jurado was looking to get adventurous when he linked up with gifted producer and multi-instrumentalist Richard Swift in 2010. Over an eight-year stretch, the pair would create some of the most musically-enriched LPs in Jurado's catalog. One random weekend after the release of the first of those albums, the pair hung out and spontaneously recorded nine cover songs in Swift's dining room. Never originally thought to be album-worthy, a few years later this

024 Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (1977)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/02/06

The pristine quality of Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album Rumours is even more amazing given the turbulent path the band took to get there. From sexual liaisons with crew members to weird penguin voyeurism - the party never stops with the Mac Attack.

023 Jacques Dutronc - Il est Cinq Heures (1968)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/01/30

Swinger-suited Jacques Dutronc introduced his sound to France in the 1960s by garnishing his pop melodies with psychedelic-garage-rock nuggetry. Jacques’ second album, 1968's Il est Cinq Heures, is his most adventurous - mixing buzzsaw guitar and doo-wop backing vocals into French chanson-style songs.

022 Janet Jackson - Control (1986)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/01/23

After releasing two underwhelming albums under the direction of her managerial father Joe, Janet Jackson seeks independence and becomes boss. She closes out her teen years with 1986's Control - an album that places the emphasis on 'Janet' rather than 'Jackson.' Also, a new gang forms and joins the Grunge Hunx and Lady Faces in the Boogie Chitz universe.

Ween had released three lo-fi, home-recorded albums by the time they were of legal drinking age. For their fourth LP, Boognish the demon-god navigates Gener and Deaner into an actual recording studio where they crank out 1994's Chocolate and Cheese - a genre-hopping masterpiece that paints the town brown.

NRPS was initially formed as an outlet for Jerry Garcia to practice his pedal steel guitar in front of an audience in between Grateful Dead sets. Their 1971 sing-songy psychedelic debut proved there was life beyond the 'side project zone' for the New Riders.
