We’re Useless Info Inc and we're calling this podcast series “Anti-Seminal.” You know those rock albums that everyone talks about and everyone seems to own? We’re not talking about those. We dig them, but on this podcast we’re going to look at bands from A to Z and bring some love to albums that may be underrated and deserve more attention. The focus will be on hard rock and metal, but we’ll be sure to mix it up now and then.

Motörhead: Rock 'n' Roll

Led Zeppelin: Presence
Yes, it’s a challenge finding an anti-seminal album by one of the most seminal hard rock bands ever, and yet we have the curious case of their seventh album, a low performer that was dismissed by critics at the time. We’re here to give this guitar-driven Plant-Page effort its proper due.

Killing Joke: Killing Joke
The album that dragged the jagged, guitar-based distortion of post punk into the new frontier of the tribal, synth-inflected rhythms of industrial music ended up being remarkably influential on several genres of hard-edged music.

Iron Maiden: Powerslave
The fifth album by one of the most influential icons of ‘80s metal screams out of the skies with its first track and doesn’t let up until its epic finale.
