175a: Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac (1968) and Fleetwood Mac (1975) Sides One
This quarterly double feature is about Fleetwood Mac for a couple of reasons: because they’re a very interesting and important band, and because they have two self-titled albums that sound nothing like each other. Launched by Peter Green in 1968 as a British blues band, in less than a decade they became an unstoppable California pop-rock monster. Their progression from one to the other is one of the most fascinating stories in rock history, and includes a lot of incredible music that you might not have known about. Mike, John, and Amanda had a great time talking about the various forms of Fleetwood Mac, and if you’re not familiar with their earlier incarnations, we hope you end up loving them as much as we do. And even if you don’t, the later version of the band is still every bit as good as their reputation says they are. This episode includes Side One of each album, and you will get Sides Two next week!

For this year's Q&A episode, we asked you guys what artists and albums you'd like to hear us cover on the show, and you did not disappoint! We got literally hundreds of suggestions, and we did our best to narrow them down but we still ended up having to split this episode into two parts. We published Part 1 last week, and here's Part 2 right here. We had a great time talking about everything from Bob Dylan to Dennis Wilson, and we hope you enjoy it too.

This Is Comp: The Alternative Polka, Tracks 1-6
This week, we don our lederhosen and celebrate the return of our compilation series dissecting "Weird Al" Yankovic's polka medleys, on which he rounded up and lovingly lampooned the chart music of the day. Originally released on his 1996 album Bad Hair Day, "The Alternative Polka" was Al's attempt to catalog the emerging radio format of alternative rock, though the artists in this batch cover so much stylistic ground as to suggest that maybe, just maybe, the whole "alternative" label was just a marketing gimmick. Whether it's a real genre or not, we've finally reached the radio hits our hosts grew up listening to, which makes for a fun discussion with a healthy dose of '90s nostalgia. Tracks: Beck - Loser Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thing Sheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do Nine Inch Nails - Closer R.E.M. - Bang and Blame Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know Other clips: Beck - The New Pollution Beck - Soul Suckin' Jerk Beck - Get Real Paid "Weird Al" Yankovic - Wanna B Ur Lovr Stone Temple Pilots - Plush "Weird Al" Yankovic - Syndicated Inc. Michael Jackson and Sheryl Crow - I Just Can't Stop Loving You Sheryl Crow - All Kinds of People Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy Sheryl Crow - Soak Up the Sun "Weird Al" Yankovic - Germs Nine Inch Nails - Terrible Lie David Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans (Nine Inch Nails remix) R.E.M. - Crush with Eyeliner Talking Heads - The Lady Don't Mind "Weird Al" Yankovic - We All Have Cell Phones (live) Alanis Morissette - Too Hot Alanis Morissette - No Return

174: Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson (1971)
By the late 60s, Harry Nilsson’s songs had a way of showing up everywhere, from TV and movies to other people’s hit records. However, it was 1971’s Nilsson Schmilsson that finally scored him a bona fide hit album, spawning three hit singles and a Grammy win. The record holds the unique status of being Harry’s most focused and disciplined album while still featuring an idiosyncratic range of styles including hard rock, power ballads, and oddball novelties. All of these genres are effortlessly held together with one of the best voices in the business. Join Dan, Amanda, and Rich as they put the lime in the coconut and discuss the man, the legend, and the group himself.

Bonus: We Can Make Your Hands Clap
It's time for a release from the Patreon vault! In this one, originally released in October 2025, we're talking about one of the best percussion instruments: handclaps! From the doomiest metal to the sunniest pop, handclaps add an interesting new layer to anything. P.S. Mike is aware that he mixed up the two singers on Napalm Death’s Scum: Justin Broadrick sings on the first side and Lee Dorrian sings on the second. In his defense, they both sound exactly the same. P.P.S. Turns out it was Rich who noticed the Moody Blues similarity. P.P.P.S. Buy Ben's book!! https://www.amazon.com/Come-Safari-Me-Listening-Beach-ebook/dp/B0FTJGDK79 The songs: Lafayette Afro Rock Band - Conga Cathedral - Midnight Mountain The Rolling Stones - Carol Laufey - Lover Girl Steve Reich - Clapping Music Fitz and the Tantrums - HandClap Outkast - Hey Ya! Tortoise - Seneca The Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night Taylor Swift - Shake It Off Miles Davis - Black Satin The Beach Boys - I Do Cohosts: Mike DeFabio, Ben Marlin, Amanda Rodgers Discord & Rhyme's merch store: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpod Support the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod
