The 100 Albums Podcast
Inspired by a 100 Albums scratch-off poster, four college friends are on a quest to explore and review 100 iconic-ish albums. Each episode the 100 Albums Podcast Crew dive into the quirks, eccentricities, and legendary moments. They deliver a fresh, funny take on the albums that have shaped the musical landscape. The guys make music commentary as entertaining as it is ridiculous. New episodes drop on Tuesdays!
Episodes
This week The Guys get a little Dizzee... which results in a very interesting conversation, particularly given that on the first listen all four of The Guys panned "Boy In Da Corner", Dizzee Rascal's seminal debut album.
