Then they share their findings in the first installment of "Bandcamp Campers," spotlighting bands The High Water Marks from Oslo Norway and Bombshell Nightlight from Missoula, Montana.
There was more to talk about from our trip back to 1973. On "side B" we discuss the albums that didn't quite make the top dozen and also chat up other great songs from the year.
For our 72nd episode we take a time machine trip back to 1973 and rank our favorite albums from that year. It was a not so great year for America, but a much better one for music.
In part 2 of our first edition of "Revisionist History" we reexamine "Their Satanic Majesties Request" by the Rolling Stones. It is often regarded as a failed reaction to the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," but in this podcast we'll discuss whether that is a fair or foul assessment.
In part one of our first "Revisionist History" we do a reexamination of "Trans" by Neil Young, a polarizing entry in the catalog of the music legend. The album was born from an interest in the German synthesizer band Kraftwerk and Young's relationship with his son and led to a lawsuit from David Geffen for making albums that didn't sound like Neil Young music.

Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones recently had birthdays and 1969 was the year Led Zeppelin released Led Zeppelin I and II. So, it's time we discussed Led Zeppelin. Like pretty much everyone, we have heard the bulk of the band's catalog on the radio ad nauseum, but there's so much more to explore. So, we have compiled playlists of our favorite non-radio LZ songs.
