Riffology: Iconic Rock Albums Podcast

Welcome to Riffology, where a GenX and a Millennial talk about the albums from their youth. Itโ€™s more fun than it soundsโ€ฆ

RIFF052 – Ash – 1977
byRiffology

Itโ€™s another barely-controlled episode as we tackle Ashโ€™s 1977: part Britpop nostalgia, part forensic Wikipedia investigation. We discuss what melisma is (with a Beyoncรฉ impression you wonโ€™t soon forget), why half the world has never heard of The Wildhearts, and the challenges of figuring out exactly whatโ€™s on an album when even the band canโ€™t be bothered to send a proper tracklist.

Thereโ€™s music theory, sort of. Thereโ€™s podcast admin, if youโ€™re into that. And thereโ€™s a group laugh breakdown that lasts longer than some Ash singles.

Come for the facts, stay for the confused riffing, and enjoy the kind of musical insight you can only get when two people openly admit theyโ€™re winging it.
