In this podcast I’ll be introducing various rock albums to my musical theatre-loving friends. We choose our next albums at the end of almost each episode through a wheel system with way too many albums on it. And if we land on a concept album/rock opera that means we look at a musical for the next episode. New episodes every Sunday/Monday!

164 - The Kinks: The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society
A critical success upon release yet a commercial disaster, this album has since been vindicated by history and is now seen as one of the greatest albums of all time. And spoilers, this episode on The Kinks is *considerably* nicer than our previous episode on The Kinks. So let's talk "The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society"!

163 - Weezer: Weezer (The Blue Album)
Critically praised yet publicly reviled at its release, the self-titled debut of Weezer has since seen a resurgence of appreciation thanks to its presence in internet meme culture. That and the fact it's just a damn good album. Join the theater kids as they traverse the Blue Album!
-
162 - The Cars: The Cars
One of the most important debuts in new wave and pop rock, this album delivers with all the killer hooks and tightness you'd hope from an album like this! And the theater kids are here for it! Let's drive with The Cars!

161 - 100 gecs: 1000 gecs / 10,000 gecs
April Fools description: Welcome to Hyperpop of Ages! Where we discuss a hyperpop album on each episode! And on this special first episode we take a look at the two albums by arguably the most famous hyperpop project making music right now, 100 gecs! With a few cross-tangents about Beyonce and Fox News getting in the way, of course.
Regular description: When 100 gecs made their presence known in 2019, many were outraged by what they saw as horrible music. But their kids are gonna love it. In the five years since, the average reaction to the gecs has softened a little, mostly due to their second album which included more rock influences. And we're looking at both those albums, 1000 gecs and 10,000 gecs, right here! -
160 - Heart: Dreamboat Annie
We cap off March, Women's History Month, with this seminal debut album by one of the best female-led classic rock groups of all time! The theater kids might just know it from the one song from Guardians of the Galaxy 3, but it's still some good stuff. Let's hop onto "Dreamboat Annie" by Heart!

159 - The Cranberries: Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who celebrate it! And this year to apologize for covering the Lizzie Borden musical we're taking a look at Ireland's best rock band to ever come out of the 90s, if not ever even, with a lead singer while dearly departed still shines through after all these years! The theater kids are diving into the debut of the Cranberries, "Everybody Else is Doing it, So Why Can't We?"!
