Big Star - #1 Record (474) and Bob Dylan and the Band- The Basement Tapes (335)

This week on the podcast, it's the debut album from Big Star and the sixteenth (albeit delayed) from Bob Dylan.In the words of Rolling Stone "Big Star produced a style that foreshadowed the alternative rock of the 1980s and 1990s. Before they broke up, they created a "seminal body of work that never stopped inspiring succeeding generations"John Rockwell of The New York Times hailed The Basement Tapes as "one of the greatest albums in the history of American popular music." Rolling Stone's Paul Nelson called its contents "the hardest, toughest, sweetest, saddest, funniest, wisest songs I know"But did we agree? Join us every week as we pick two albums from the Rolling Stone magazine list of the 500 Best Albums of all Time and debate the reasons why we think they deserve a place on our playlists or should be left on the shelf.The Apollo Audio Podcast is recorded at Apollo Audio in Hertford, hosted by Billy Hills, Miles Mitchell and Martin Lumsden.Produced, recorded and edited by Martin Lumsden.A Froody Music Productionwww.froodymusic.comThe Apollo Audio Podcast is hosted by record producer Martin Lumsden and musician and studio owner Billy Hills and is recorded at Apollo Audio Hertford.Each episode offers insight into songs, records, and the creative process, drawn from real-world experience in studios and making music.Also available to watch on YouTube and Spotify📍 www.apollo-audio.co.uk📷 Instagram: @apolloaudiopodcast📧 [email protected] Froody Music Production.
