Episode 90 - Hootie and the Blowfish Album Review, Wanna Get Mad About a List? - Top 25 Guitar Solos, Vinyl Friday Recaps

from 8 Tracks, Cassettes and Stereos · host Nick and Mike Schwingbeck

This week on the 8 Tracks podcast, the boys have another fun show for the fans, headlined by another Album Review! This week we are jumping into the 90s for a topical review after Mike saw Hootie and The Blowfish a few weeks ago. As such, we are reviewing their smash hit debut album: "Cracked Rear View". We talk about Mike getting exposed to new music, the album's 4 chart topping singles , and how it cut through the noise of grunge and alternative music in its era to become so successful. We also reveal how this legendary band got its name so be sure to tune in!We also have the return of our new segment "Wanna Get Mad About a List?" where we run through a ranking of the "Top 25 Best Guitar Solos of All-Time". We discuss the list, debate the order and also rattle off which songs were left off?! Let us know your thoughts in the comments as well.In addition, the boys discuss their recent Bob Dylan obsession and Mike has the usual shenanigans cooked up with great "This Day in Music History" and "Grooves of the Week" segments. Nick rounds out the show with a few Vinyl Friday Recaps including The Bee Gees' "Main Course" and Led Zeppelin's "Led Zeppelin".You can find every episode of this show here on Spotify, and Apple Podcast with new episodes dropping every other Friday.
