This week on The Record Report, we went down the rabbit hole with one of the most confounding and iconic albums of the ’70s: There's a Riot Goin' On by Sly and the Family Stone.
It’s messy, it’s brilliant, it’s frustrating, but it might just be a masterpiece.
We each picked our top 3 tracks that stood out to us and discussed what makes this album so polarizing, influential, and still relevant today.
From its murky production to its raw emotion, this record sparked some of our most passionate conversations yet.
Whether you love it, hate it, or still don’t know what to make of it, this episode is for anyone curious about the genius (and chaos) of Sly Stone.
