Vinyl Ventures #65 - Gone Too Soon

4/2/2024
Many of the best and biggest names in music left us too soon. This trip around the turntable, the Vinyl Ventures crew looks back on some of our favorite music from those artists who left us too soon. There are more than just the members of the 27 Club here. The list of Rock Stars and amazing musicians who died too soon is so much longer than we have time for in one show. While these musicians left us early, they left an indelible mark on our music-loving hearts and live on forever in those records we love to play. Rest In Power!

Vinyl Ventures #64 - The Rolling Stones Albums Ranked!

3/12/2024
No way are the Vinyl Ventures crew ranking every Rolling Stones album. They don't want to do a 3-hour show, so how about the top ten. The greatest band in the world are still putting out records in 2024, so there is a lot to choose from in their ranking albums. Narrowing the list to the top ten makes it an easier task, but ranking those 10 makes the task a bit more challenging. Faithful listeners you may not agree with the Vinyl Ventures crew, but lists are super fun.

We all have favorite bands and favorite records, and those favorites can change from time to time, depending on a lot of things. This time around the horn the guys step out on a ledge and rank the studio releases from the mighty Led Zeppelin. With only 9 albums, one might think that this would be an easy task. Alas, no...it is not! Favorites or not, the crew manages to put Zeppelin's oeuvre in order of preference. Song-to-song, artwork, and many other details come into play as the guys try to agree on an order that does justice to one of the most respected catalogs in rock n' roll history.

Vinyl Ventures #53 - O Canada - Some of Our Favorite Canadian Artists and Bands

7/18/2023
"O Canada" did not become the official Canadian national anthem until 1980 with the passage of the National Anthem Act. As National anthems go, it is a beautiful song. On O Canada the Vinyl Ventures crew share some of their favorite Canadian Artists. For this show Blame Canada like the parents of a juvenile character in the 1999 animated film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut did. The film featured a satirical song "Blame Canada", the parents, decide to blame Canada for the trouble their children are getting into since watching a Canadian-made film. The song was nominated for an Oscar, it did not win. Or even better yet Blame Vinyl Ventures!

The Vinyl Ventures crew wraps up their Essential Album shows with the 10th installment. What started as a discussion list in the summer of 2021 has become some of the most popular shows on Vinyl Ventures. 100 albums each seems easy when you have a a few thousand in the collection. But in practice with each show it gets a little more challenging as some artists and bands get left off the list.

Vinyl Ventures #49 - Greatest Greatest Hits

5/2/2023
Greatest hits albums are sometimes snubbed by the vinyl community. Often these collections are a cash grab by record companies, and artists can be left out of the decision making process. Occasionally an artist sees their sales, presence and notoriety grow from Greatest Hits releases. It’s a mixed bag across the industry for sure. For the Vinyl Ventures crew, when to buy a Greatest Hits album versus albums in an artist’s catalog comes down to how they feel about the group. Some albums are essential, even if it is an artist that doesn't fully resonate with a listener. Picking which ones to buy Best-Ofs from and and which ones to do a deep catalog dive into is in the ears of the beholder. On this episode the guys recommend some of their favorite Greatest Hits Collections.
