The Sound Logic Podcast

We're into the 100s, and we just finished another block of 10! That nice round number means that the time has come once again for us to review and re-rank the last 10 albums.

Oh Canada!! Joni's back, and we get to talk about one of our favo(u)rite artists from this Sound Logic journey! Joni Mitchell's Blue album was so significant - we wondered how we might feel about her more commercially successful Court and Spark album.

Lou Reed! He was the guitarist, singer, and principal songwriter for the rock band The Velvet Underground, but beyond that also crafted a solo career that spanned five decades. In this episode, we take a look at Transformer, the album that birthed "Walk On The Wild Side," perhaps his most well-known and iconic song.

Kelli is back! We're joined by our friend, and former guest, Kelli Dowd, to chat about Fiona Apple's iconic 90s masterpiece, When The Pawn... (though the actual title is quite a bit longer. We discuss!) What did we think, and how does it rank among the greatest albums? Listen on to find out!

It's not often that we arrive at an album where neither of us have any clue what we're getting into, but this one fits that description! What did we think of Television (a band we've never heard of), and their influential Marquee Moon album? Join us as we dig deeper to find out!

At the end of 2023, Rolling Stone published some small adjustments to the 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums. Among those changes was a decision to drop Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers, and replace it by moving up their album Exodus, an album that had previously been in the #71 spot. Given that unique change, we thought we would re-share our original review with Bram Wooley, for your listening pleasure. Enjoy! ----------------------- It is always comforting to revisit an artist we have reviewed before, and this time we also had the pleasure of inviting back the same guest who joined us last time we reviewed Bob Marley and The Wailers. You may remember when Bram joined us for our review of Legend.  This time, Bram helps us unpack this iconic album and all the amazing hits it contains!  As a reminder, you can find our favorite songs from the RS500 on ⁠our Spotify playlist right here⁠ - we'll be updating it as we go with our favorite songs from each album!

We are pleased to be revisit our conversation with our friend Kelli Dowd, as we discuss this iconic live album from the Allman Brothers!  We'll consider it's slot change, and discuss why this is not just a great live album, but also get to hear of Kelli's great love of music and her many live concert experiences.

De La Soul! We learn so much with this one, checking in with some old school rap from a simpler time when samples were just samples, and real instruments were part of the creation of songs. It feels fitting that album #103 features a 3 in the title. We hope you enjoy this look back at their iconic album, 3 Feet High And Rising!

After last week's look at Led Zeppelin, The Clash brings us back to back self-titled albums. We'll take a listen, explore what this must have sounded like to those late 70s listeners, and ask whether this belongs here at 102 on Rolling Stone's list of the greatest albums.
