Ep14: 1001 Albums (Paul Revere, MC5, Grateful Dead, Oasis)

The Groovy Guys take their first dive into the much revered '1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die', each choosing an album from their collections they believe is essential and rightfully sits among the critics' picks. The episode journeys through the decades from proto punk to folk rock and ending at Brit pop - featuring Paul Revere and the Raiders' Midnight Ride, MC5's rebellious live album Kick Out the Jams, the warm glow of Grateful Dead's American Beauty and the champagne rock of British supernovas Oasis with (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Here's what the critics have to say (about the albums, not the pod! 😄) Paul Revere and the Raiders - Midnight Ride 'Pop punk just does not get any better' MC5 - Kick Out the Jams 'An album where you can smell the pepper spray, feel the heat from the burning flags, sense the revolution raging.' Grateful Dead - American Beauty 'The definitive album by the group. Its influence has resonated in successive generations of musicians.' Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory? 'At the epicentre of Britpop, a cultural revolution that swept Britain in the 1990s'
