Summary



By The Way (2002) is a brilliant album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But at nearly 70 minutes in duration, could it have been even better with some careful pruning?

That’s the task podcast hosts Stephen & Paul, plus their guest Ross Braidwood, have set themselves in this episode: Create the under 50 minute TTMF Supercut of By The Way.

On the way the guys will discuss their level of fandom for the band, review the critical reception and commercial success of the album, share their favorite songs and least favorite track from the record, and discuss the impact of guitarist John Frusciante on the album's sound.

They also discuss the best time for the band to retire and whether they are happy that the band is still active. The conversation ends with a discussion about the top Red Hot Chili Peppers songs of all time.

Summary

It’s been on our to-do-list for over 2 years, but, finally, the first episode of our Prince side-series is here 🆓 👑

Similar to our previous U2 & Bruce Springsteen side-series’, we’re aiming to create the ultimate, single vinyl, under 50-minute singles compilation for Prince after critiquing his albums & singles from a specific period of time. In this case, from 1978 (For You) to 1989 (Batman) 💿

So this will encompass classic albums like Purple Rain & Sign O’ The Times; and classic singles like kiss, little red corvette & raspberry beret 💜

To kick things off we’re starting with the Minneapolis Marvel’s 1978 debut album For You and the singles soft and wet 😳 and just as long as we’re together 🥰

Fact: Despite only being 19 years old, all the tracks on the album were produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince 😮 #genius
