2 Twins & An Album

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Dream Theater’s 1992 album ‘Images and Words’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! Episode 6-7. What does that even mean...we don’t know. No one seems to know. But it’s actually 95. And we are here to bring you another prog metal delight. Is it too long? Too short? Too indulgent? Not indulgent enough? Chiefs? Lions? Wait what does 6-7 mean again? Still don’t know. And who cares. Just join the fun...cause we got a buncha jammin’ guys here, and we hope you like jammin’ too.

Nubs leads the discussion and review of U2’s 1997 album ‘Pop’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! Pop or Not Pop? The boys assess this piece which, regardless of your thoughts, bridged the industry from the 90s to the 2000s. Then we all got scared of Y2K and such. We all started thinking it would be our Last Night on Earth. Okay that one was too easy. Tune in as we dig into this mega release from this mega band, and whether or not the “reverse bookends” nature of it pleases the fellas. Let’s go.

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Backstreet Boys’ 1999 album ‘Millennium’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! Well it’s been a bit – and what better way to say we’ve missed you, we love you, we can’t be without you, and we yearn for your touch and your kisses and your affection and the sky may fall but as long as its you and us together in the end it will be all worthwhile after all...than with episode 91. Hey, I think we just wrote a song. Join as we discuss the genre of the bands made up of boys – and how this album helped calm the fears of a Y2K catastrophe, and instead began the new century with good vibes. Because we wanted it that way. Get in!!

Episode 14 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on a Charlottesville, Virginia’s favorite South African son, David J. Matthews and his reggae band. Don’t burn the day away, listen to Toph’s Top Five instead. It’ll make you smile.

Episode 12 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on a French-Canadian lady that could kinda sing. She had some tres bien songs. Tune in...maintenant!!

Toph leads the discussion and review of Boston’s 1994 album ‘Walk On’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! The boys return with -- much like last episode -- a release outside of a band’s commercial peak, but with the distinctive sound and songwriting that made it sneaky commercially successful. Join us as we plow through Boston’s fourth album -- as well as other topics including band feuds, a movie recco from Toph, making America great again, Emily Latella, and other worthwhile/worthless nuggets from your two favorite twin bozos. We Need Your Love…So Surrender to Us…and let’s Walk On together through Episode 90. I know that We Can Make It. This one’s for Steve-O. Stephen Thompson Young May 29, 1982 - November 3, 2024 We’ll miss you, big man.

Toph leads the discussion and review of The Four Seasons’ 1975 album ‘Who Loves You’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! HEOOOOOOOO!!! The boys from the Mitten State talk about the boys from Jersey -- as we jog through this short, yet efficient, jaunt of an album. And when not doing so, the boys are joined by a New Jersey native herself (that one of the hosts happens to share a house with) to test skills, knowledge, and expertise of The Garden State. That’s right – it’s Nubs vs. Mrs. Toph, a Jersey Trivia showdown. (brought to you by Miller Lite). And in between the shenanigans, we actually talk about a rather fascinating front man, album and group that found themselves at the “later” part of their careers. In 1975. So put on your Devils face paint and let’s do this.

Episode 10 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on the ’Terry Kath era’ (1969-1977) of Chicago. After listening to their entire catalogue (yes, their entire catalogue), part one reveals Toph’s top 5 songs from this time period.
