Manage episode 434261648 series 2601091
Hey Strutters! This week is monumental as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of "Everybody Wants." Originally released in the UK on July 28, 2014, this debut album has shaped the band's trajectory despite initial challenges. Remember the iconic single "Could Have Been Me"? It’s still rocking hard! We take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revisiting the tracks that didn't make the 2016 US reissue and discussing the bittersweet differences. As always, we're diving deep into the music that influences our favorite band, and this week’s pick is a legendary classic that you won't want to miss.
In today's episode, Luke and I wrap up our series on influential albums by spotlighting Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell." Luke shares how discovering this album on vinyl during a tough time in his life offered both solace and inspiration. From the epic theatrics of Jim Steinman’s songwriting to the relentless passion Meat Loaf brought to each track, this album has left an indelible mark on Luke’s musical journey. Whether it's the dramatic spoken word intro of "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" or the rebellious energy that courses through the entire album, Luke’s insights will make you appreciate this rock masterpiece even more.
So, grab your headphones and let’s get lost in the music together. Don’t forget to leave us a review and join our official Strutters group on Facebook to keep the conversation going.
Until next time, keep strutting!
