Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Jesus and Mary Chain started as warring brothers with a port-a-studio and ended up on Top of the Pops while helping kick off the Glasgow music scene of the 1980s. The boys welcome a special guest to help make sense of this band and discuss hypnosis, vintage fuzz pedals, and fighting your audience as a marketing strategy.

Next week's album: Taylor Swift - 1989

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Meat Loaf met his soulmate Jim Steinman on stage in New York and the two set about crafting the most over-the-top theatrical rock opera of an album ever produced. The only problem? No one wanted it....until everyone did. The boys get together to discuss piano prodigies, excessively long songs, and ripping 70s guitar.

Next week's...

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Tom Petty came up in the swamps of Florida playing tiny clubs and sock hops before heading to LA and making his fortune. The boys talk about perfect background vocals, questionable key choices, and the scrappy rock band era of a generational artist.
