This is the second solo album from Phil Collins.  Not as dark as his first one, Face Value, this one offers a couple of hits on side 1.  Kingcow likes his sound both solo, and with his band Genesis. 

Heather plays side 2 of this band's fourth album.  Kingcow liked this side better than the first....but, he doesn't have good taste.  Enjoy this, Rhetoricians.

Kingcow played this, the third album, by The Police.  Zenyatta Mondatta is a really catchy album.  The tracks are all upbeat and there is a funky baseline playing through every song.  Kingcow enjoyed this one when it came out in 1980.  Heather seemed to enjoy her listening experience.

The Crafty DM pulled a first and didn't know it...Kingcow had played this for The Blob a couple of years earlier.  You can listen and hear another person's take on this nice piece of vinyl.  Maybe, someday we'll play the second side.

Kingcow decided to play this 1979 masterpiece for The Crafty DM.  Michael's fifth album is easily his best up to this time.  What he learned on this he would use later on "Thriller".  If you haven't heard this you're in for a treat.  Happy Easter!  Praise Jesus!

Heather brought this, the fourth album, from electro swing group Caravan Palace.  Kingcow had a bit of a hard time wrapping his head around this one.  Maybe you'll hear more than he did.

This debut album featured the first rap song to crack the top 40.  In 1979, "Rapper's Delight" was that song and in the beginning of '80 peaked at 36.  Enjoy this one, Rhetoricians!

Heather plays the second side of this album.  Overall, Rio is surprisingly good.  Kingcow learned to like this sound and was unsure why it didn't appeal to him early on.

Kingcow brought this classic album.  Surprisingly, Heather wasn't really familiar with it.  This piece of vinyl is awesome!  While early on, Kingcow was not a fan of Pink Floyd, he grew to appreciate and enjoy them.  Rhetoricians rejoice as Pink Floyd is played on Vinyl Rhetoric for the first time since Episode 9.

Heather brought the sophomore release from Duran Duran.  Kingcow remembers when this came out.  Heather said it was almost an island album for her.  Let us know the five albums you would like to be stuck on a deserted island with.  Cheers!

This is the 1986 debut album from Pet Shop Boys.  Kingcow remembers when it came out and did enjoy it.  Heather hadn't heard any of the songs, but surprisingly, did guess their name.  Enjoy this one, Rhetoricians!

Way back in September, 2019, Heather requested that this album be played.  Now she is a host on the show and her OCD prevented her from playing something new.  This band has a sound that appeals to Kingcow.  Hopefully, you enjoy as well.

Kingcow brought this awesome album for Heather to listen to.  This album was released in 1976 and still sounds crisp today.  This is representative of ELO's distinctive sound and is a big reason why Kingcow enjoys them so much.

This is the third album from The Go-Go's.  While not well received, Kingcow really enjoyed this one.  Their sound is distinct and iconic.  One of the '80's most successful acts.  This is a good disc!

This 1984 EP is a gem.  Robert Plant put together a group to play '50's standards.  The musicians on this project include Led Zeppelin mate Jimmy Page, ex-Yardbird, Jeff Beck and Late Night with David Letterman bandleader, Paul Shaffer.  Enjoy, Rhetoricians!

Heather plays the second side of The Goon Show, Goon Again.  This classic BBC radio show this time takes on the Scots.  Be warned and enjoy!

Once again The Crafty DM surprises Kingcow with his musical choice.  Today's episode is the debut album of Danish pop group, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour.  You're in for an interesting ride on this one.  With elements of pop, techno and acid jazz (whatever that is) it is an eclectic sound.  Enjoy, Rhetoricians!

WE'RE BACK!  Finally!!  Heather brought this album.  Her dad would listen to it with her and recite lines and laugh all the time.  It's a recording of a BBC radio show.  It stars Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers.  Be warned it has some racial humor from almost 70 years ago. 

Sadly, another legend passed away.  Michael Aday, better known as "Meat Loaf" died on January 20, 2022.  Kingcow and Heather discuss his life.  Kingcow remembered that he had seen Meat Loaf in 1994.  This is a great album and well worth picking up.  It came out in 1993.  R.I.P. Meat Loaf R.I.P.

Kingcow played side 1 of this 1979 release for Heather.  Instead of trying to separate all the songs he just played the whole side at once.  This is Queen's first live album and their first to be mixed at their own studios.  Enjoy this one!
