In dieser epische Musikzeitreise episode of Past Tens: The Top 10 Zeitmaschine, your trusty hosts — Herr Doktor Dave and Der Wilden Miltmeister — strap on their sonic lederhosen and dive kopfüber into the Billboard Top 10 Albums for the Woche ending April 12, 1975 — ja wohl! With all the precision of a Bavarian clockmaker and the subtlety of a bratwurst cannon, they analyze und rocken diskutieren legendary platten from musikalische titans like Led Zeppelin (or as they say in Munich, Blei Zeppelin), David Bowie (Der Dünne Weirdo), John Lennon (Der Friedensbringer mit der Brille), and Earth, Wind & Fire (Erde, Wind und Feuerkraft!). This episode is vollgepackt with music history, lustige Anekdoten, and enough nostalgia to fill a beer stein the size of Düsseldorf. Dave und Milt pay tribute to the unterschätzte Helden — unsung heroes like Minnie Riperton (Die Göttin der Hohen Töne) and Robin Trower (Der Gitarren-Zauberer von Essex). Of course, it wouldn’t be a Past Tens episode without their patented spielfreudige Segmente like The Play Date (Das Spielzeit-Quiz!), where they test each other’s Rock und Roll Gehirn on song trivia — and The Substitution (Der Platten-Tausch!), where they boot an album off the list like a rude tourist from Oktoberfest and replace it with a beloved verlorene Klassiker. This episode is ein absoluter Ohrenschmaus for music lovers who appreciate both the Mega-Hits and Tiefe Schnittwunden (deep cuts) from the golden, shag-carpeted glory of the Mid-70er Jahre. Mach schnell! Put on your headphones, grab a frothy beverage, and crank up Past Tens: The Top 10 Zeitmaschine! Jawohl, baby!

Kind of odd).<br>Their quest? To rank the best "Na Na Na" sounds,<br>From Beatles to Pickett, those sweet vocal rounds.</p><p>“Hey Jude,” they agreed, had a 'Na' that won hearts,<br>But Wilson Pickett’s groove? It tears dance floors apart.<br>A sprinkle of na-na, a dash of hoo-haa,<br>Add Springsteen or glam rock, now we’ve got a hurrah!</p><p>Dave chimed in, “Remember that gig in ‘85?<br>When the crowd chanted 'Na Na Na,' feeling so alive?”<br>Milt laughed, “Oh sure, but you missed my surprise,<br>A drunk dude sang <i>all</i> the na’s — and we nearly died!”</p><p>Each track got a story, a chuckle, a thought,<br>Like finding gold coins in a musical pot.<br>They dissected each na with scholastic precision,<br>While still poking fun with sarcastic derision.</p><p>“Was there ever a bad na?” Milt queried aloud,<br>Dave smirked, “Remember that band who played too proud?<br>Their ‘Na Na Na’ bombed—it was pure rock disgrace,<br>They made Nickelback sound like a Grammy showcase!”</p><p>As the countdown continued, nostalgia ran wild,<br>“Remember that na? Oh, it’s so juvenile!”<br>But that’s the magic of this syllabic delight,<br>It’s a chorus for rebels, for love, for the night.</p>So cheers to Past Tens, for their list and their lore,For honoring 'Na Na Na' — and the bands we adore.May their Thanksgiving pod forever replay,With “Na Na Na” laughter to brighten the day.
