About this listen

 A re-examination of misunderstood, under-appreciated, or forgotten albums by popular artists, focusing on the positive aspects of each. You might think these records missed the mark, but what if the world just wasn't ready for them?2023 Music

  • Christmas In The Heart by Bob Dylan

    Christmas In The Heart by Bob Dylan
    Dec 9 2025

    On our second annual Holiday Cheerstravaganza, we make a case for Bob Dylan's utterly delightful (if slightly unhinged) Christmas party record.

    Also, we look back at whatever 2025 was supposed to be, look ahead to 2026, and take calls from some of our wonderful listeners.

    We also talk to Derek, unfortunately.

    Thank you for joining us for our third season. We'll be back in 2026 with our fourth season, which promises to be our best yet!

    In the meantime, check out the episodes you missed, and tell all your music-nerd friends about us!

    Happy Whatever-You-Celebrate!

    Our disembodied computerized voice is Fred.

    This podcast is produced under duress by Ralph and Michael, who really have no choice in the matter. Typical podcast stuff. Totally normal.

    ESPN Presents... Jock Jams Vol. 1
    Nov 18 2025

    Remember this? For listeners of a certain age, this CD was the soundtrack to pep rallies and gym class and probably a whole litany of adolescent humiliations. But we're here to convince you to listen to it with an open mind to hear what you missed.

    Also in this episode, Ralph and Michael play basketball.

    Plus, we present our very own original Jock Jam.

  • Calling All Stations by Genesis

    Calling All Stations by Genesis
    Nov 4 2025

    Just imagine having to replace both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. That's exactly what Ray Wilson had to do when he got the lead vocalist gig in Genesis. And you know what? He nailed it.

    In this episode, Michael and Ralph make a case that Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks gave up on this incarnation of Genesis too soon. But it's not too late!

    Later, Ralph transforms "Alien Afternoon" into a "classic" prog song.
