    “Vocals Only: Six Mouths. No instruments.”

    This week we toss the instruments and let the human voice run wild. From Motown’s silky legends to the boy-band meme that returns every April 30th, we crown the ultimate all-vocal Perfect Album Side—and try (badly) to hit those high notes ourselves.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why one diva hand-gesture stopped the world in 1965.
    • How five Texans turned “Hallelujah” into a 750-million-view a cappella anthem.

    Crank it up, clear your throat, and join us for an hour of pure, unfiltered harmony.

    This week on The Perfect Album Side: Singles, we’re asking the big questions—like, does every band’s signature song actually slap? Or did they just get lucky once in a Holiday Inn lounge? Side B? We head to a galaxy far, far away to debate the Mount Rushmore of Star Wars villains. Spoiler: some of them have more teeth than dialogue. Crank it up, nerds and music heads—this episode has lightsabers AND cowbells!

    Side A: Big hits or deep cuts: what makes a better concert? We’ll break down the eternal setlist struggle, share our own show stories, and somehow end up talking about Alf’s favorite songs and the Golden Girls’ hidden love for obscure B-sides. It’s all in here.

    Side B: Sitcoms! We’ll tell you which ones still crack us up and which need a laugh track just to survive. Also, yes, Alf and the Golden Girls make another cameo—because why not?

From record-breaking rushers to game-changing greats, it’s all about the legends who defined the ground game. Two sides, one great episode!
