This Week on America’s Podcast – we’re heading into the desert with the album that made U2 a household name: The Joshua Tree. Joining us for this sonic pilgrimage are Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez to help decide—does this album “Bullet the Blue Sky” or make you want to “Exit” because you “Still Haven’t Found What You’re Looking For”? No spoilers—but Bono might be lurking in your conscience.

Tracks of the Week:

• Jerry picks Giant’s “I’ll See You In My Dreams” – pure 80s power-ballad magic, Aqua Net sold separately.

• Andy throws down “Rock Forever” by Judas Priest – because some priests don’t preach, they shred.

• Mooger chills things out with “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House – a song so smooth it should come with a hammock.

• Travis goes full Zappa with “My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama” – rock, rebellion, and a guitar with unresolved issues.

• And we wrap it all up with Marc’s pick: Sammy Hagar’s “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight” – because who doesn’t love a dramatic mic drop?

Until next week, go where the streets have no name, be kind, and as always—be a good human.

This Week on America’s Podcast… We’re flipping the switch and turning on the Black Light as we dive headfirst into Smith/Kotzen’s "Black Light/White Noise"—joined by our special guest Eric Lussier from The French Connection!

Is this album a sonic revelation or just some artsy white noise that makes you want to unplug the stereo and apologize to your ears? No spoilers—but we definitely brought sunglasses for the solos.

Tracks of the Week:

• Marc cranks the chaos with “You Gimmie Nothing” – Scumbag Millionaire (and they say romance is dead)

• Mooger gets glam and deep with “Theater of the Soul” – Poison

• Jerry lights it up with “A Million Suns” – Arch Enemy (because one sun just isn’t metal enough)

• Eric drops the mic with “Reach” – Militia Vox (and we’re still trying to catch it)

So until next week—keep your guitar shredding, your amps loud, and don’t stare directly into the black light(unless you're into that).

This Week on America’s Podcast… We’re having a high time (in every sense) as we float through Heart’s "Dog and Butterfly" with rock-loving guests Tim Wirasnik and Travis Perrotta!

Tracks of the Week:

• Mooger goes metalcore with “Perfect Soul” – Spiritbox

• Marc kicks it old-school MTV with “Goodbye To You” – Scandal

• Tim rides the night with “The Sun Goes Down” – Thin Lizzy

• Travis brings the powerhouse with “Piece Of My Heart” – Big Brother & the Holding Company

This week on America’s Podcast, it’s Black Celebration—or Black Condemnation, depending on who you ask! Jerry wanted an album to tear apart, so Marc handed him one he adores. Will Jerry respect the synth gods, or will he spread blasphemous rumors? Can Mooger be the tie-breaker, or will he just sit back with popcorn? And most importantly—will Marc go full Jerry, but not tonight? No spoilers, but let’s just say emotions will be stripped.

Tracks of the Week: ▶️ Marc: The Seventh Stranger – Duran Duran (because the ‘80s never die) ▶️ Mooger: Everything – Sevendust (because balance is key) ▶️ Jerry: Battalions – Metal Church (because, of course)

Until next time, let’s have a Black Celebration and get Stripped—not literally, just emotionally.

This week on America’s Podcast, we dive These Days (literally) into Bon Jovi’s 1995 album because Mooger missed out last time—so, of course, we’re doing a Redux. #SecondChances #BonJoviOrBust

We bring in special guest Eric Lussier to help us answer the big question: Does this album give you something for the pain, or is it pure Jovi gold? No spoilers, but let’s just say opinions are flying like Richie Sambora solos. #NoPainNoGain #JoviJudgment

Tracks of the Week: 🎸 Jerry: “New Girl Now” – Honeymoon Suite #80sGold 🎸 Marc: “Times They Change” – Slaughter #HairMetalWisdom 🎸 Eric: “American Sex Fiend” – The Mary Tyler Moore Whores (yes, you read that right) #WTF 🎸 Mooger: “Get The F@ck Out” – Skid Row #SubtleAsABrick

Until next week—remember, it’s hard these days, but there’s always a bright side. #KeepTheFaith #HardTheseDays

This week on America’s Podcast, we’re diving into six albums that split fanbases like a badly mixed record. Love them or loathe them, these albums had fans either throwing their fists in the air or throwing their CDs out the window.

First up, Queensrÿche – Hear In the Now Frontier—where prog-metal legends decided to strip things down, leaving fans wondering if they’d just wandered into the wrong album. Then, Mötley Crüe – Theater of Pain—the moment the Crüe traded in their sleazy Sunset Strip grit for glam and a whole lot of hairspray.

Next, we take a ride with Judas Priest – Turbo—the album that asked, “What if metal... but synths?” and left fans turbocharged or turbo-disappointed. Then, we dive into Def Leppard – Hysteria—a glossy, arena-rock juggernaut that made some fans ecstatic and others cry “where’s the riffs?!”we dive headfirst into the unexpected turn that was Kiss’s The Elder. Fans were like, “What just happened?” It was a sharp left turn—from arena anthems to concept album theatrics. Buckle up, because this ride gets weird.

Finally, we close with Metallica – The Black Album—the moment Metallica went from thrash titans to global rock gods, sparking endless debates about “selling out” vs. evolution.

Joining us for the ride are Joseph Staub and Tim Wirasnik, ready to break down these divisive records and maybe stir up a little more controversy.

Tracks Of The Week: Mooger – “I Disappear” by Metallica Joseph – “Roses On White Lace” by Alice Cooper Jerry – “Tie Your Mother Down” by Queen Tim – “Until You Suffer Some (Fire And Ice)” by Poison Marc – “When I’m Gone (Live)” by Dirty Honey

Until next week, don’t let music divide you. Like what you like, dislike what you like—but we can all get along, right?

This week on America’s Podcast, we hitch a ride down the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road to see if Elton John’s classic still rocks—or if it just blows like a candle in the wind (no spoilers, but we ain’t packing up our bags just yet).

Helping us navigate this glitter-covered, piano-fueled journey are Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez, who bring their hot takes and questionable life choices to the table.

And of course, we’ve got Tracks of the Week to keep your ears entertained:

• Marc – Gone (Live) by U2 (Because Bono refuses to be forgotten.)
• Jerry – Streetlight Serenader by Billy Joel (Deep-cut Joel is the best Joel.)
• Travis – The Gift by The Velvet Underground (For those who like their rock weird and wonderful.)
• Andy – Centerfield by John Fogerty (Swing batter, batter, SWING!)
• Mooger – Green River by CCR (Swamp rock never dies.)

So, until next week, don’t say goodbye to the Yellow Brick Road—stay young, stay weird, and for the love of rock ‘n’ roll, subscribe!
