What makes a great frontman? A technically perfect voice? Good looks? Someone who can work the stage and crowd? Someone who oozes personality, charisma, and showmanship? Does your mind instantly go to classic frontmen like Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, or Robert Plant? This week, we look at some of those frontmen who carried the torch during the classic alternative era. One of those guys is this wee...

In Episode 358 of History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff, Martin explores why he’s not typically a fan of concept albums by spotlighting the ones that have won him over. From subtle, loosely themed classics like the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band" and XTC's "Skylarking" to fully realized masterpieces like Porcupine Tree's "Fear of a Blank Planet," Martin shows why certain concep...

By 1996, Def Leppard needed to try something different.  Their 80s heyday had long since passed and the grunge/nu metal era made them unwanted icons of a forgotten age.  They got a new wardrobe, split up to write their songs and even left the stylized Def Leppard logo off of their album Slang to tread new paths without longtime producer Mutt Lange.  Some saw it as a reaction to grunge as it sounde...

It’s easy and honestly fun to complain about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every year, they announce a class of inductees and music fans rise up in anger asking “how is so and so not in yet” or “how did this person get in before that person.” Or, my favorite, “what? That person isn’t even rock and roll.” We all do it. Hell, we’ve done entire episodes on how the Rock Hall screwed up.  But the Roc...
