Beck Did It Better

193. Creedence Clearwater Revival: Willy and the Poor Boys (1969)

Some folks are born with silver spoon in hand, and some folks are co-hosts on the best podcast about Creedence Clearwater Revival and the 193rd greatest album of all time, Willy and the Poor Boys. 

 

But before we get to the album we give you a little treat from Big Daddy when we discuss employment qualifications at the Mustang Ranch, agave distillate subscriptions, and the best movies from 1994. Then we head to the store to buy some travel souvenirs and condoms, and it's all business, like changing a tire.     

 

Then at (1:04:00) we take a trip down on the corner to discuss CCR's swamp rock album from 1969, nice. We discuss concept albums, Lead Belly, and get up and down on a list. 

 

Next week's episode is Bad, but at least it's the best Michael Jackson podcast.

192. Beastie Boys: Licensed to Ill (1986)

We are the best podcast about Licensed to Ill. A great fatboys story, the Rock and Roll hall of fame and some native plants. You shut up and listen to this ep.

191. Etta James: At Last! (1960)

Don't get it twisted, according to the transitive property this is the best podcast about Etta James and the 191st greatest album of all time, At Last! Our piece de resistance if you will.

 

This podcast is also the last refuge of the desperate when we sit down at the loser table to discuss the best Sublime songs, the Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart, and whether all sour drinks have egg whites. We also chat about lunch specials, and there's some meat on this bone. 

 

Trust in me, at (55:00) we finally get to Etta James's debut album, At Last! We chat about Chess Records, the best R&B voices, and the most outrageous music take of all time. 

 

Next week you need to fight for your right to listen to the best Beastie Boys podcast when we cover License to Ill.

190. The Who: Tommy (1969)

Can we ask an honest question, is there anything worse than being the best podcast about The Who and the 190th greatest album of all time,Tommy? But let's put a pin in that question for now.

 

Before we get to the album we'll pick you up for a night of trivia about youth baseball coaching, co-worker interactions, and Paisley Park. We also become the best podcast about opera when we discuss the Metropolitan Opera House, pre-ordering drinks at intermission, and tenors who get their balls eaten by wild boars. Remember, everything you hear on this podcast must be true!

 

Then at (1:02) we become pinball wizards and talk about The Who's 1969 rock opera, Tommy. We chat about why we don't like rock operas, discuss the best rock opera albums, and then bail on this episode at intermission.

 

Trust in me, next week is going to bring some stormy weather when we become the best Etta James podcast and cover her debut studio album, At Last.

 

 

189. Sleater-Kinney: Dig Me Out (1997)

Finally!!! the Dunkin' Dutchman and Indie Rock...have come back...to Beck Did it Better, with the best podcast about Sleater Kinney and the 189th greatest album of all time, Dig Me Out.  

 

Before we get to the album we dive into the nether regions of dynamic pricing at the Mustang Ranch, social events interrupting the big game, and some deviant art for all you UFC scum. We also prove that this is the best music podcast of 2024 when we talk jazz club etiquette, a family concert with AJR, and Bay Area food rappers. 

 

Then if you hit the 15 second skip button 256 times to (1:04:00) it's enough to hear our take on Sleater-Kinney's 1997 album, Dig Me Out. We cover the punk bands that inspired Sleater-Kinney, bands that didn't have a bass player, and the best songs from band members who dated and broke up.

 

For those of you who aren't 43-year-old males we suggest you unplug this podcast and plug it back in next Tuesday for an amazing journey when we become the best podcast about The Who and their 1969 rock opera, Tommy. Happy Friday!
