The Sound Logic Podcast

Mike and Ben are distantly related to someone who once performed with Elvis - who was it, and what is the connection? Check out this episode, as we get ready to discuss Elvis' Sun Sessions album this weekend - the #11 album on Rolling Stone's top 500 list!

We thought this was going to just be a short little exercise in our experience with the top 10 albums on Rolling Stone's list ... and then we started talking and apparently we had a lot to say! We hope you enjoy this look back, and where we'd rank these 10 albums if we were the ones creating the list!

What's this... another mid-week episode?? This weekend we are re-ranking the top 10 albums, and we figured we should give some pre-amble to our recording session (plus, this Saturday's episode includes enough rambling on as it is). 

This weekend we are re-ranking the top 10 albums... in the meantime Mike wondered how we might re-rank the four Beatles albums that appear on the top 10. Here's where that conversation ended up... 

Three Beatles albums wasn't enough, so the creators of Rolling Stone's top 500 album list put one more on for good measure! We round out the top 10 today with our review of the iconic "white album" in all its 30-track weird and wonderfulness. We should note - The Great Albums Podcast did a phenomenal (and thorough!) review of this album several weeks ago - if you want even more depth and backgroun...

The Beatles White Album is our next review, but before we get there, what are some other albums that go by a color? Join us as we follow that trail to see where we wind up on the rainbow! (and let us know what we missed!)

Way back in Episode 4 we struggled to know what to do with Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited... so we brought in a fan! This week we're excited to have Chris Clements with us as our special guest to discuss the weird and wild world of The Bard himself. Spoiler alert - we liked this one more. Blonde on Blonde comes in at #9 on Rolling Stone's list of the greatest albums of all time. Give this episode a...

Mike and Ben were somewhat hard on Bob Dylan way back in episode 4, so we decided to bring in a real Dylan fan to walk us through Blonde on Blonde which comes in at #9 on Rolling Stone's top 500 albums. In this episode we sit down with Chris Clements, long-time friend of Mike, and new-found friend of Ben, to discuss music, friendship, raising kids, and what we might expect from our full review of...

Is it classic punk, or post punk? How does a lead singer get away with crowing in the middle of a song? What does this album have to do with late-90s Christian Punk music? These questions about The Clash's incredible album, London Calling ( ranked #8 on Rolling Stone's top 500 album list ), will be answered in this episode of The Sound Logic Podcast! Join us as we explore with special guest, Dusti...

On Saturday we'll review The Clash's iconic London Calling album, a piece of music that was profoundly important to our good friend, and former bass player for the band Grand:PM , Dustin Wood. Dustin joins us for our mid-week episode to chat about his musical journey - both as a professional bass player, but also as a connoisseur of vinyl and album collecting. Dustin also happened to be with us at...

It seems fitting that Rolling Stone's top 500 album list would include an album from The Rolling Stones in the top 10. What did Mike and Ben think of Exile on Main Street, and how does it fit with rock and roll history? Tune in to find out! 

On Saturday we'll review a Rolling Stones album. They happen to be the first artist on this list who both Mike and Ben have seen in concert. That moment took place all the way back in 2003, so for this episode we'll go down memory lane to talk about Molson Rocks for Toronto - a benefit concert hosted by the Rolling Stones to try and kickstart tourism in the city of Toronto after a breakout of SARS...

Welcome back Sound Logic-ers! We hope you enjoy our look at what's happenin' baby... Marvin Gaye's iconic album comes in at #6 on Rolling Stone's top 500 album list. This week we've got a special guest - Rev. Dr. Donna King, minister at St. Paul AME Church in Bellefonte, PA! Check it out, and send us a message to let us know your thoughts! (hint - we really liked it!)

This week we take a bit of a side tour to one of our favorite bands that unfortunately won't show up on Rolling Stone's list of the greatest albums for a few hundred more spots... Coldplay is what we're talking about this time - Parachutes, Ghost Stories, and one of Ben's biggest regrets. It's going to be hard to wait until they show up on the list to talk about them again!

What's that you say? Another Beatles album?? You bet! Coming in at #5 on Rolling Stone Magazine's top 500 Album list is Rubber Soul. Tune in to find out what we liked, what we didn't like, and which song is pretty much the worst. 

Our review of The Beatle's Rubber Soul album (#5 on Rolling Stone's top 500 album list ) will launch on Saturday, but in the meantime here are a few of our random thoughts that didn't make the cut for that album review. What does Rubber Soul have to do with jazz music, middle school talent shows, and Jay-Z? Listen to find out!

How fitting that Rolling Stone's top 500 album list includes Dylan's iconic song, Like A Rolling Stone! The real question is... was it sound logic to include this high on the list? Give this episode a listen - this time we check out Highway 61 Revisited - an album neither of us had ever heard in its entirety before this project. You can check out the full list right here , and give us a like on ou...

Happy Valentine's Day! Are there any romantic albums on the Rolling Stone top 500 album list? What are our favorite romantic albums? These questions and more will be answered in this teaser episode of The Sound Logic Podcast!

What can we say about The Beatles' Revolver that hasn't already been said? You'll have to listen to find out what we love (and don't love!) about this classic record. In this episode we chat about Revolver, Rolling Stone's #3 on the list of the top 500 albums of all time!  You can check out the full list right here , and give us a like on our Facebook Page and send us a message if you have an...

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Rolling Stone's choice for the top spot on the list of the top 500 albums of all time!  You can check out the full list right here , and give us a like on our Facebook Page and send us a message if you have any comments or questions!
