Going with the rock/metal theme I'll share Або-Або (either-or, pronounced abo-abo) by Vopli Vidoplyasova, one of the first modern Ukrainian rock bands that first started out in the early Ukrainian punk scene of the 80s before branching out to different genres. As you can hear from this tune, it's like if Tom Waits had a baby with Danzig who went on to become the front man for Metallica.

I used to listen to Dark Side of the Moon all the time but now I can't get through half of it (and this was before Roger Waters opened his mouth and put in his two cents about russia's invasion of Ukraine)

What are your Mt Rushmores of iconic album art? Also, throwing out the song 'Archie, Marry Me' by Alvvays as potential song of the week. Thanks and looking forward to the episode! https://open.spotify.com/track/5HLes17mwCwKt81mi0Tk35?si=6ef83676690649df

Do you prefer songs that have a concrete ending or songs that slowly fade out implying they're going on forever somewhere in the distance?

I am so excited. If you had to choose an 80’s “hair metal” band as your favorite, who would it be?
John Jenson
I’m wondering if these two albums would be good introductions to the genre? If not what would you choose instead ?
