Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast (And Other Shows)

Peter Gabriel, the unique and flamboyant lead singer of Genesis, decided to part ways with the band in 1975 after the conclusion of their tour supporting their 1974 album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

Early 20th century songs about baseball.

After the double album Blonde on Blonde became one of the biggest selling and most lauded of his career, Bob Dylan decided, either for health or other reasons, to pull back on his exhaustive touring schedule. After abortive sessions with The Band, he went to Nashville and, with a small group, recorded an album of country and folk inspired songs that almost harkened back to his acoustic roots.

With new guitarist David Gilmour, the band was tasked with recording a follow-up to The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. In 1968 they released A Saucerful of Secrets which, though it was largely made without Barrett's involvement, so continued in the spirit of what he had starte...

Olde timey songs about Spring.

Although it was a parody of progressive rock (Ian Anderson wasn't too happy about Aqualung being lumped in with such,) Thick As a Brick reached number one on the Billboard 200 despite the fact the album was one song that took up two sides of the record. Efforts to do a follow-up at the Château d'Hérouville in rural France proved fruitless, being renamed by Anderson and crew "Château d'Isaster" and...
