  • 74. 'Aja' - Steely Dan (1977)
    Jul 1 2024

    Delving into longer and more sophisticated music, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker experimented with various band lineups for each song on ‘Aja’ to craft and perfect their Jazz, Pop, Rock hybrid of an album. Mixing their own songwriting skills with the jazzy prowess of the likes of Wayne Shorter and Tom Scott legitimised Jazz in Rock and marked a significant moment in the relationship between the two.

  • 73. 'Use Your Illusion I' - Guns N' Roses (1991)
    Jun 17 2024

    In 1991, Guns N’ Roses brought in a new drummer and keyboard player and, in an ambitious and confident statement to the music world, released ‘Use Your Illusion I & II’ on the same day. Following immense anticipation from the Rock world, ‘Use Your Illusion’ impressively spans multiple styles and genres; including: Rock, Blues, Metal, Punk and Classical elements - veering away from their dedicated, established Hard Rock sound of previous releases.

    In this episode, we take a dive into the mindset of GnR with these monumental releases and focus on the first of these two albums and ask if this is Guns N' Roses' most impressive and extensive album!
