The Classic Rock Album-By-Album Podcast
Chris Karson & Lee Bowie
The Classic Rock Album-By-Album Podcast is the podcast that endeavors to review, dissect and discuss rock albums and to answer the burning question... Is it a classic?
It's the music competition show that takes two terrible songs and makes the battle head to head for the title of Shitty Song of the Week. Any genre, any year, any band. No song will be left unscathed!
Listening to the Chris and Amanda Show is like eating a delicious ice cream cone on an 80-degree day. It is the ultimate he said she said. We each pick 3 songs that we think the other has never heard before, then we have a discussion about them. It’s like listening to your friends' conversations at lunch or coffee break. Together we rate the songs on a sliding scale of 1-5 records with 1 being a dumpster fire and 5 being a song that will never leave our ears. If you’re a music fan or a fan o ...
