Episode-46-Jane's Addiction-Nothing's Shocking-1988

Episode #46 of Riff Revolution dives into Jane's Addiction and their first true studio album Nothing's Shocking — an unfiltered blast of alternative rock with a twist that set them apart from everything else in 1988. After breaking down this groundbreaking record, I’ll roll straight into the always entertaining “Staff Picks” segment. Then, since I haven’t covered it yet, we’ll take a look at the year that was 1988 before wrapping things up strong. So do what I always ask — hop in the Way Back Machine and let me take you on a ride back to 1988.

Episode-45-Fleetwood Mac-Rumours-1977

On this weeks episode you are in for a real treat another perfect album. This time from the band Fleetwood Mac who released their monster album Rumours in Feb of 1977. This is in my opinion their masterpiece or their Abbey Road if you will. Following that we will move into the always unpredictable staff picks. And since I have already covered the year that was 1977 I will then be moving into my closing and call to action. So, sit back in the way back machine and let me take you on a trip back to one of the greatest years in rock n roll 1977.

Episode-44-Audioslave-Audioslave-2002

Alright, on todays episode I am featuring a supergroup Audioslave. Born out of the ashes of two major bands Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. And when these guys got together what you are about to listen to is what happened. This is their debut album as Audioslave and its a rocker. Following this great album I will move directly into staff picks that are always a grad bag of fun. After that I will move into the year that was 2002 before heading into my closing and call to action. So, sit back in the way back machine and let me take you back to the year 2002.

Episode-43-Red Hot Chili Peppers-1991

Ok on today's episode I will be featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers 5th studio album Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik released in September of 1991. This was to me the starting gun for RHCP. As their music just continued to get better and better over the years. And I cant stress enough how much great music was released in the year 1991. After my featured album I will be heading headlong into my favorite part of the show which is staff picks. After staff picks since I have already featured the year that was 1991 I will immediately be going into my closing and call to action. So, sit back in the way back machine and let me take you back to the year 1991.

Episode-42-Tribute To 80s Movie Soundtracks

Alright, on todays episode we are changing gears just a little bit. I got some feedback from the fans and I thought it was a fun idea. So, today we will not be featuring an album but rather a tribute show. This is a tribute show to all the great 80's movie songs we grew up with. If you are not Gen-X you probably have still seen these movies or at the least heard these songs. So, no staff picks today, no year that was just a Tribute to the 80's. Sit back in the way back machine and let me take you back there to relive some great memories.
