Ep. 89 Today's Peep The Rolling Stones and how I Became a Fan, Great Artists who Released Bad Music, and we Honor Frankie Valli on his 90th Birthday

  • Summary

  • Could the Stones really outshine the Beatles as the greatest rock band ever? Strap in for a rollicking ride with Pat's Peeps, where we kick off with a debate that's bound to stir up the rock gods themselves. I'll be throwing down the gauntlet with arguments for the Rolling Stones' supreme reign in the rock realm, taking you through their gritty anthems and unparalleled staying power. Plus, I share a slice of my own musical journey, tracing the evolution from Kay Kaiser's swing to the dark riffs of Black Sabbath, and the unexpected detour into Zappa's universe.

    There's a peculiar charm to those albums that artists themselves might prefer to erase from their discography, and this episode doesn't shy away from the infamous. Travel with me through the bewildering soundscapes of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" and the clash of titans in the Reed-Metallica "Lulu" record, as we explore the ambition and audacity that fuel these baffling musical ventures. It's a treasure trove—or should I say, curiosity cabinet—for any music enthusiast who loves when legends take a walk on the wild side.

    As we wrap up, let's give a round of applause to Frankie Valli on his milestone birthday. I'll drop hints for you to guess the electronic influence in Young's work while spinning one of my favorite Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tracks. Remember to join the conversation on the Pat Walsh Show, and let's keep the Pat's Peeps community thriving by spreading the love for music's deep cuts and high notes.
