In this podcast I’ll be introducing various rock albums to my musical theatre-loving friends. We choose our next albums at the end of almost each episode through a wheel system with way too many albums on it. And if we land on a concept album/rock opera that means we look at a musical for the next episode. New episodes every Sunday/Monday!

The South Korean musical that won multiple Tonys in 2025, including Best Musical, was an unexpected treat for all of us listening. Here's our thoughts and my occasional rantings about their sad attempts to make "Gil Bren
We dedicate this episode to the memory of America's premier pop musician/composer, Brian Wilson. He made us all smile. We spend most of the episode fawning over the album, but...at the same time, why wouldn't you? Origin
The great Southern Rock debut album by the great Southern Rock band. On paper it doesn't really sound like the type of album a theater kid would vibe with, but you'd be surprised. Let's dive into Lynyrd Skynyrd for the f
Jangle Pop Month concludes for real this time. And of course we couldn't say goodbye without covering one of the great jangle pop bands' eponymous debut album. This also means though we have to cover Morrissey both as a
This episode is instantly dated because we made jokes about how it's not on Spotify. Literally the day, the very DAY, after we recorded this, May 31, the band's catalog returned to Spotify. Funny how life turns out somet
A new season means new Rock of Ages episodes. And in this episode we talk of things ranging from anime to a harsh critique of the Danny Boyle picture 'Yesterday'. But you might also hear us continue Obscure Jangle Pop Mo
Originally released April 25, 2021. Taken down in January 2024, but now cleared for reuploading.
A throwback to one of our earliest episodes! From June 2021, specifically. Mainly because it was taken down and Spotify didn't give me notice that it has some claims that needed to be appealed. But anyway, one of the wor
Our next stop in Obscure Jangle Pop Month takes us to Australia, where in 1988 the band The Church found their biggest success with the psychedelic, hazy, and very cool record, Starfish! The music is great and the lyrics
After some technical difficulties, we have a 10,000 Maniacs episode to upload! Our second stop in Obscure Jangle Pop Month takes place in 80s Upstate NY, where the Natalie Merchant-led janglers try and re-evoke the spiri
Obscure Jangle Pop Month begins with a Canadian band, a pretty darn good band with a pretty darn good album. And because it's pretty darn good, alt rock stations will never ever play it. Because why play something pretty
Well it took a year, but the 2024 Christmas special is out! Here we discuss two random Christmas albums along with several other tangents. One is by a universally beloved showman who's dramatic musings on camera and on w
No introduction is required for this album. It's just one of the greatest ones ever released by anyone. Fiona Apple, When the Pawn everybody! Originally recorded April 26, 2025.
One of the single-most successful and popular musicals of all time. What isn't to love? Does it still hold up though? Let's talk Asparagus of-- I mean Man of La Mancha! Originally recorded April 19, 2025.

Critically panned at release, this synth heavy effort by Jeff Lynne and his Beatles tribute band has since been looked back as a very progressive, influential, and flat-out amazing record. And the theater kids agree. It'
Rod Stewart was once long avoided on this podcast because of his voice, one that host Andrew believed would be unappealing to the theater kids. And himself. But now, the podcast conquers its fear and checks out his criti
At last. We're finally covering a real album. Originally recorded March 30, 2025.
Diving back into our good friend Bruce Springsteen on this episode, looking at the album he did right before he released the big one. Perhaps not as good, but he's still coming into his own and that's what matters. It's
It was St Patrick's time for the podcast, which meant we get to cover an Irish artist! And we decided this year to look at the debut by one of the island's greatest and most powerful singer-songwriters. One who was unfor
