    Arctic Monkeys — in 2013 they were the future. Did it arrive? AM was carried by “Do I Wanna Know?”-- was it the last great rock crossover? #ArcticMonkeys #AM #IndieRock

    Loverboy - "Get Lucky" - the off-the-rails special Valentine's Episode!

    “Get Lucky” from 1981 is about wanting everything—success, sex, attention—and not feeling even slightly bad about it. Listen, like, rate, subscribe, smile, square-dance, do all the things!

    LIVE- "Throwing Copper"- is Throwing Copper a "90s Top 10 Album," or kind of over-rated?

    Join the Bourbon Brothers this week as they discuss Throwing Copper. This album is one of the most nakedly confessional rock albums of the ’90s — jealousy, longing, anger, worship. But does it hold up?

    Imagine Dragons- "Night Visions"- does ChatGPT still get royalties for creating Imagine Dragons?!?

    We debate Night Visions.  Is Imagine Dragons unfairly criticized because they’re successful—or fairly criticized because their sound feels engineered rather than dangerous? What is Dragon Mount Rushmore? Does this hold up?

    Tom Petty & HB - "Into the Great Wide Open"- Is this secretly a concept album about fame and disillusionment?

    Is this secretly a concept album about fame and disillusionment? Eddie’s rise, success, moral compromise, and emotional fallout — intentional narrative or accidental cohesion? @macrocktails @tompetty @MikeCampbellHQ #classicrock

    Billy Squier- "Don't Say No"- is this the greatest c**k rock album ever made?

    Billy Squier's iconic debut album "Don't Say No," featuring The Stroke, My Kind of Lover, In the Dark... Is this C**k Rock-- or actually vulnerable? Despite the confidence, loneliness and paranoia creep in—fame isolates as much as it empowers. Is this album secretly about isolation disguised as swagger? #classicrock

    Eric Clapton, "Journeyman"- do you like your Clapton fiery or cool?

    Clapton's comeback album, Journeyman. A polished gem-- or does the gloss make it sound trapped in the 80's? #classicrock
