Tim Friedmann's 70's Rock Conversations

We're getting down to the wire now with our "Best Albums of All-Time"!! This week, it's "Who's Next." The great album released in 1971 features some of the best rockers ever! And next week, Frank & I divulge the #2 Album--the one you voted on. Enjoy!

This week--we're getting closer to the top of "Best 14 Albums of All-Time!!"...And it is the 1971 album by the Stones--"Sticky Fingers." Taken from the best year in Rock according to our Rock Expert, Frank Aust. Next week, we'll be getting down to the wire, with just 3 great albums left. Enjoy!!

This week! It's getting down to the wire!! Our #5 Album of All-Time--"Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen. This breakout album by The Boss from 1975 kicked his career into superstardom. The "Best 14" is based on our fan vote; and you're doing a tremendous job! Enjoy the Top 5.

This week: Frankie and I continue our countdown of the "Top 14 Albums of All-Time," as voted by you! We're up to #6 now, and it's the 2-record set by Elton John, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." We'll discuss the tracks on this wonderful album, and also tell you why the song "Harmony" was not released as a single, as maybe it should've been...

This week--Frankie and I continue our countdown of the "All-Time Best Albums" as voted by you! We're up to #7 this week, and it's the huge album by Pink Floyd--"Dark Side of the Moon." We'll discuss what made and still makes this album one of the best ever. "Dark Side of the Moon only spent 1 week at the top of the Billboard Album Chart, yet it has spent nearly 1,000 weeks on the Top 200 Chart. Enjoy!!

This week--Frankie and I continue our countdown of the "14 Best Albums of All-Time," as voted by you! It's the first of 2 by the Beatles!! We are happy to bring you this one--"Revolver." This album represented a real shift in their music, their production techniques, and their entire look. What had started with the previous album "Rubber Soul," and what would be next ("Sgt. Peppers"), "Revolver" was significant. We're almost halfway there!!

This week, one of the very Best!--"Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac. Released in early 1977, this album defined not only the new version of the group, but also sent a clear message to the musical universe that Fleetwood Mac had arrived! Next week, our countdown continues with the 1st of 2 by the Beatles...Which one will it be??...

David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" is our #10-Best of the "All-Time Best Albums," as voted by you--our listeners! Perhaps a surprise entry, "Ziggy" represents an album that checks the boxes of an alternative to the obvious choices. Next week, another great choice by YOU!

Our "Top 14 Albums of All-Time" countdown continues this week, as voted by YOU! Frank and I discuss one of his most favorites--and mine too!--"Chicago II." The #11 Album is the follow-up to their debut album, "Chicago Transit Authority," the windy-city group put together this double-album set in 1970. Next week, our countdown continues, with an album by...well, find out next week! In the meantime, enjoy this great album!!

This week, we continue our countdown of the "Top 14 Albums of All-Time," as voted by YOU!! Lucky #13 is the debut album by the Boston-based New Wave group, the Cars!

Thank you so much for your input earlier this year; Frankie and I have put each album in order from #14-#1, starting this week with #14--"Hotel California" by the Eagles.

Season 15 wraps up this week, with yet another of our Best Breakout Albums--the 1970 release by Cat Stevens--"Tea for the Tillerman."

This week, "Infinity," the 1978 album by the Bay Area's Journey, is our Breakout Album this week as we start closing out Season 15!

Styx is in the spotlight for this week's edition of "70s Rock Conversations, with their Breakout Album, "The Grand Illusion." Just like many other artists who do not hit it big right away, Styx worked on breaking out for the better part of the '70s until they finally cashed-in with this one. Next week, our "Breakout Album" series continues, as Frankie and I take a look at "Infinity" by Journey--the first to feature new lead singer Steve Perry.

This time around, our "Breakout Album" is by Def Leppard--the smash from '83, "Pyromania." Frankie will share his story about the band from England, and Tim will fill you in on how that "Union Jack" t-shirt worn in the famous "Photograph" video came to be. Next up: "The Grand Illusion" by the Chicago band, Styx. Enjoy!

This week, our "Best Breakout Album" series continues with the 1976 hit album by Boz Scaggs, "Silk Degrees." Like our other artists so far in this topic, it took quite a while for Boz to break out; but he finally did with this smooth-sounding album. With hits like "It's Over," "What Can I Say?," "Lido Shuffle," and "Lowdown," "Silk Degrees" received a Grammy nomination for Best Album of 1976 and is still a best-selling LP/CD/Downloads, etc. to this day. Next week, Frank and I look at the 1977 Breakout Album, "The Grand Illusion" by Styx. Enjoy!

Our Best Breakout Album this week, as we start the month of June '26, is "Hi Infidelity" by REO Speedwagon! It took a while for this Windy City group to find huge commercial success, but Epic Records stuck with them, and in November of 1980 came what would be a 10x Platinum Album, featuring hits like "Keep on Loving You," "Take it on the Run" and "In Your Letter." The album spent a record 15-weeks at the top of the Billboard Album Chart, becoming the LP of the year in 1981. Next week, Frank and I will take a look at another Breakout Album, "Silk Degrees" by Boz Scaggs. Enjoy!

This week, Tim will be flying solo (Frankie is out for the week on the Injured List) as we look at another in our series of "Best Breakout Albums"...it's "The Stranger" released in fall of 1977 by Billy Joel and Columbia Records. What songs are still on the air today? What do I really like about this breakout album? Find out this week! Next time, Frankie returns for REO Speedwagon's "Hi Infidelity."

This week, Frankie and I continue our "Best Breakout Albums"...again, from the year 1975 (Frank's 3rd-Best Year of Rock) it's "Fleetwood Mac/Fleetwood Mac." It took a few years to hit big, and several personnel changes/additions, but this album launched the group into a new level. Next week, it's one from 1977- Billy Joel's "The Stranger."

We're Back! Frankie and I are ready to bring you all-new episodes as we continue with Season 15!!

Back to our regular episodes this week, as Frankie and I begin finishing up our look at "Best Last Albums"--this week it's "Synchronicity" from the Police. Little did we know when this album was released in 1983 that this album would be the last from this trio. We hope you enjoyed our "BIG Christmas Show" last week, and that your holiday season is enjoyable. Happy New Year! We'll see in 2026!!

This week--It's our "BIG Christmas Show!!" So as you're welcoming family and friends, sipping hot chocolate, egg nog, or something a little more zesty, you can enjoy our trip down memory lane. Frankie and I recall some of our best Christmastime memories, our favorite meals for the big day, and of course, our Top 5 Christmas songs. Merry Christmas!

This week, we head back to 1969, for perhaps the best of our "Last Best Albums!" The Beatles' "Abbey Road." Frankie will tell you the story behind the famous album cover photo (and Paul's "death"); and I'll give you a little tidbit about the back cover. Also, we'll start running down our Top 10 Xmas Songs (from #10-#6 this week)...What do we have cooked up for you this holiday season? Find out this week! Next week, is our "BIG Christmas Show!," so be sure to add that show to your Christmas week plans!

Season 15 kicks off this week with the last album by Simon & Garfunkel (at least the first time)...Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were heading in opposite directions at this point in early 1970; Paul to pursue his solo career, and Art with his budding acting career. "Bridge over Troubled Water" took nearly a year to complete as a result, yet out came some of their best work in this their 5th and final studio album. Next week, Frank and I look at perhaps the best of the last albums--"Abbey Road." And, in just 2 weeks, we'll have our "BIG Christmas Show!!"

Unfortunately, so many of our rockers have met with a tragic ending to their lives, and this week is one of the worst. In our continuing series, "Best Last Albums," it is the final album by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Street Survivors." Frankie and I will take a closer look at the album, and the details behind that horrible plane crash which occurred just days after the albums' release.

This week-it's our BIG 5th Anniversary Show!! Thanks so much for listening over the past half-decade!! Frankie and I will relive many of our favorite topics, including 1 Hit Wonders, Best Debut Albums, Featured Artists and many more. Next week: our final episode of Season 14, with a look at "Street Survivors"...the last album from Lynyrd Skynyrd, released just days before the tragic plane crash.

This week, our "Best Last Albums" takes us back to the fall of 1968 with "Electric Ladyland" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience! Only 3 studio albums were released before Jimi's untimely death a little more than 2 years later. Next week, join Frankie and me as we celebrate our "Big 5th Anniversary Show!! We've had hundreds of fun and informative topics over the 1/2 decade of Podcasts, and we'll head down memory lane next week. Thanks SO much for you downloads!!

This week, Frankie and I spotlight Billy Joel's final album (with lyrics): "River of Dreams." Billy became disillusioned with the music industry at the time he put together this album in 1993...album cover art by his then wife, Christie Brinkley. Next week, join us as we continue with our "Best Last Albums"...it will be "Electric Ladyland," the 3rd and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. And in just 2 weeks--our "BIG 5th Anniversary Show" will air!!

This week, John Lennon's final album, "Double Fantasy," is in our spotlight. Frank and I discuss the tragic events that began on December 8th, 1980, and for weeks, months, and years afterwards. It's still hard to believe, isn't it? Next week, Billy Joel's last one, with lyrics anyway: "River of Dreams."

Jim Croce's final album, "I Got A Name," is this week's "Best Last Album." Little did anyone at the time this album was released, that it would be Jim's last. From the title cut to "I'll Have to say I Love You in a Song" and "Lover's Cross," Jim great songs and tireless touring would end so tragically in September, 1973. Frank and I will discuss, and play some of those wonderful album tracks. Next week, John Lennon's "Double Fantasy."

Season 14 continues with Episode 8: The final studio album by The Doors--"LA Woman." 1971 signaled the end of the music by Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger, John Densmore and Ray Manzarek. From the title track, to "Riders on the Storm," Frankie and I will run down all the cuts, and give you some insight into the group's producer. Next week, Jim Croce's last album: "I Got a Name."

This week, before Frankie and I begin taking a look at "Best Last Albums," we'll begin the show with a fitting tribute to the late John Lodge of the Moody Blues, who passed away late last week at the age of 82. What great songs he wrote for us, including "Isn't Life Strange," "Ride My See-Saw" and "I'm just a Singer in a Rock 'n Roll Band." Then in our new Feature, "Best Last Albums, this week it's "In Through the Out Door" by Led Zeppelin.

This week, Frankie and I take a final look (at least for now!), at our "Best Debut Albums;" "Dream of the Blue Turtles" by Sting. The 1985 release marked the beginning of a tremendous solo career which still is here today. Next week, we'll begin our "Best Last Albums" feature--with Zeppelin's last, "In Through the out Door." Enjoy!

Styx is this week's Featured Artist!! Frankie and I (especially me) have been clamoring for their induction, or at least, nomination into the Rock Hall. It won't be this year (Nov 8th in LA), but maybe next year! Next week, we'll take a look at yet another one of our Best Debut Albums--"Dream of the Blue Turtles" by Sting. He stepped out into the solo spotlight with this top album from 1985.

This week--it's Def Leppard!! Frankie will be telling us how the band's name was originally spelled + we'll discuss how long it was-and how many albums it took-for them to break out! Next week, we'll take a look at Styx. Enjoy!

This week: at long last...Van Halen!! Find out all about the band, who helped them get started (its' someone you know!), who was their producer early on (also someone you know!), and hear Frankie's thoughts about who he thinks was the better lead singer. Enjoy!!

This week- It's R.E.M!! Frank and I will be discussing what has made this band so popular since the early '80s, as a campus favorite at the Univ. of Georgia. And now, more than 40 years later-their music sustains. Enjoy!!

It's a brand-new season! Frankie and I kick off Season 14 with a look at one of the long-time rockers--U2. The group from Dublin, Ireland has been on the scene since the late-70s, and the 4 members have been together since the start. Next week, another Rock Hall of Famer--REM. Thanks for joining us for Season 14!

This week, we take a break from our usual conversations, with a look back to the year 1975! As Frankie says, this is the year that everybody came back out with great music. So much else happened that year as well, and Frank & I will get into it in this episode. Next week, we'll begin a brand-new season of shows--U2 will be front-and-center as our Featured Artists. Enjoy!

This week, Frank and I wrap up a terrific Season 13, with the Debut Album of Pat Benatar's: "In the Heat of the Night." This one began a better than 4-decade career as a rocker, along with her husband-guitarist Neil Geraldo. Next week, we'll bring back a Classic Conversation from the year 1975; the year Frankie says "They all came out with great rock 'n roll albums!!" In 2 weeks, we'll start Season 14 with U2 as our Featured Artist.

This week, certainly NOT an unlucky episode! Frank and I are featuring a not-to-well-known Debut album, but still a really good one--and one that Frankie wanted to hit, "The Clash." First released in the UK in '77; then two years later here in the US. Next week, we'll conclude Season 13 with a look at Pat Benatar's first album, "In the Heat of the Night," from 1979. Enjoy!

As Frankie and I begin to wrap up Season 13, we continue with our "Best Debut Albums." This week, It's George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass." Hear how many top musicians performed with George on this 6-sided set! Next week, one of Frank's favorites: "The Clash." Enjoy!

This week, Phil Collins is featured with his debut album "Face Value." Next week, it's George Harrison's goodbye to the Beatles with his "All Things Must Pass;" which may-or may not be his actual debut album. Enjoy!

At the dawn of 1980, we were still dealing with the final big days of Disco, but things were finally changing-and for the better! Tom Petty's "Damn the Torpedoes," "Glass Houses" by Billy Joel, and the debut album from Christopher Cross all dominated the album charts at the start of the new decade. Cross' debut effort would become a 5-time Grammy Winner, including one for Best New Artist. "Christopher Cross" is this week's Best Debut Album. Next week, Phil Collins burst on the scene with his debut, "Face Value." Enjoy!

This week's Best Debut Album comes from Tom Petty. Though not widely known when released in 1976, a few of the songs have gone on to become staples of Classic Rock!! Next week, the debut from Christopher Cross will be front-and-center (1980). The album went on to win 5 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. Enjoy!

Hope you had a terrific 4th of July holiday weekend! This week, Frankie and I head back to 1969 with the "Best Debut Album," Crosby, Stills & Nash. You'll learn how the trio got together, after some behind the scenes dealings of 2 powerful record company executives. Next week, we'll have Tom Petty's debut from 1976. Enjoy!

This week's "Best Debut Album" features Toto! From late '78 into '79, and into today--Songs like "Hold the Line" and "I'll Supply the Love" are still staples of Rock and Contemporary stations all over the world. Top session musicians like Jeff and Steve Porcaro, Steve Lukather and David Paich formed Toto in the late 70's, and the group continues to tour today. Enjoy!

This week, it's Bob Welch's first solo effort, "French Kiss." This Platinum Album was released in September, 1977 at the height of the Disco Era, and about the same time as the release of the mega-hit soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever." Bob Welch, the former member of Fleetwood Mac, enlisted the help of former bandmates Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and Christine McVie. Enjoy!

Episode 5 of Season 13 brings us one of the best debut albums of the 80s for sure--"Bella Donna" by Stevie Nicks!

We are BACK!! Frankie and I return this week with all-new episodes of "70s Rock Conversations," as we continue with our rundown of the Best Debut Albums.
