  • 2009 Music - Dream Theater & Kelly Clarkson II!
    Jul 3 2025

    We've got a rare return bout here at Media Made!

    In this 2009 Music episode, progressive metal legends Dream Theater once again square off with pop sensation Kelly Clarkson. And to give these two acts all the time to shine, Rod & Jess are talking more songs than they would in a standard show!

    First, they look back at essentially Dream Theater's entire Black Clouds & Silver Linings album (as if they had a choice, given that it only features six songs.) Then, they examine an extra-big portion of Kelly Clarkson's pop renaissance, All I Ever Wanted. Get comfy, because this is going to be a long one!
