Un Poquito Moss - #177: "Jump" by Van Halen

“Jump” by Van Halen is the band at their most accessible, trading in Eddie’s usual guitar heroics for an iconic synth-driven hook. In this episode, we get into the song’s massive pop appeal, its role in redefining the band’s sound in the ’80s, and why it still feels like pure adrenaline decades later. But does “Jump” deserve a spot among the greatest songs of all time? Cover art by Katherine Evans Theme Music: "Tagalong" by Blaise Gratton

Un Poquito Moss - #368: "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden

With its woozy melodies, surreal lyrics, and that instantly recognizable guitar line, "Black Hole Sun" feels like a sun-baked fever dream that still hits hard decades later. The song is peak Soundgarden, blending grunge heaviness with psychedelic weirdness in a way that’s both catchy and deeply unsettling. So the big question is: should “Black Hole Sun” be considered one of the greatest songs of all time? Follow Please No Moss on Instagram!

#63: 'Aja' by Steely Dan (w/ Katherine Evans)

Aja is Steely Dan at their slickest and most obsessive, blending jazz chops, studio perfectionism, and impossibly catchy hooks into a record that somehow feels both laid-back and insanely precise. From the smooth glide of “Peg” to the dark, cinematic sprawl of the title track, it’s the sound of a band firing on all cylinders and refusing to waste a single note. So… is Aja one of the greatest albums of all time, or just the ultimate example of immaculate ’70s studio rock?
