Episode 184 – Blind Melon – Soup – Part 1

The wheel just took a hard left into the ’90s. Episode 184 is underway and the pick is Soup. Darker vibes, weirder turns, zero “No Rain” safety net. This is Blind Melon stretching out, getting uncomfortable, and daring you to actually listen. Is it misunderstood brilliance or a tough hang with moments of magic? We’re cracking it open track by track with honest takes, bad jokes, and the usual Rock Roulette lack of restraint. Spin accepted. Let’s get into it.

Episode 183 closes the book on Foreigner, and yeah… this one came in HOT. Monster songs, undeniable hooks, and just enough polish to make you wonder if rock ’n’ roll checked in with management first. Wheel spun. Album judged.

Episode 183: the wheel didn’t mess around and landed us on Foreigner’s debut album. You know the one—massive riffs, FM radio DNA, and songs that have been stuck in your head since 1977 whether you like it or not. Is this the birth of arena rock greatness… or the moment rock put on a tie?

Episode 181 is in the books and we’ve officially finished TigerTailz Bezerk! Big hair? Bigger hooks? Absolutely zero subtlety? DOUBLE We cranked the volume, teased the bangs, and rode this 90s glam beast straight into the sunset. If you like your riffs flashy and your choruses unapologetic, this one’s for you.

This week on Rock Roulette, the wheel picked Tigertailz – Bezerk! Big hair? Check. Loud guitars? Check. Subtlety? Absolutely not. We dive headfirst into this neon-soaked, fist-pumping slice of 90s hair metal madness and ask the important questions—is it gloriously over-the-top or just plain Bezerk? (Spoiler: yes.) Hit play, tease that hair, and crank it to 11

Episode 179 is LIVE! We finally crossed the finish line on Californication and somehow survived the funk, the feels, and all the “ding dang dong dang” along the way. Side two is done, opinions were fired off, and the Chili Peppers definitely kept us on our toes. Was it funky? Yep. Was it emotional? Also yep. Did we argue about it? You know it. Spin it, stream it, and find out where Californication landed with us.

EPISODE 178: THE WHEEL GOT SPICY The Wheel of Rock has spoken… and it went full Red Hot Chili Peppers. That’s right—Episode 178 kicks off as the wheel drops the needle on Californication. Expect funky bass lines, shirtless energy (at least in spirit), and deep thoughts about California, fame, and why Anthony Kiedis writes lyrics like that. Was this destiny? Was it chaos? Was the wheel feeling funky? Hit play and find out as we take a trip straight to Cali—no sunscreen required.

The wheel has spoken… Episode 176 of Rock Roulette spins us straight into Southern rock royalty as it lands on The Allman Brothers Band – Idlewild South. Twin guitars, blues-soaked grooves, and a band hitting its stride between raw power and improvisational magic. This one’s all about feel, flow, and finding where the Allmans really started to stretch out. Did the wheel make the right call? Drop the needle and ride with us.

Episode 175 is live! We’re cranking the volume to 11 as Rock Roulette wraps up our review of Greta Van Fleet’s From the Fires. The wheel brought the fire, the riffs brought the thunder, and yes… there may be a few certain British hard rock vibes floating through the room. Did GVF strike rock gold, or are the ghosts of the ’70s a little too loud? We break it all down, track by track, with opinions hotter than a Marshall stack on standby.
