The ABC's of Rock Podcast
The ABC's of Rock Podcast is hosted by Nathan Suher, just a regular guy with a passion for all things that fall under the umbrella of Rock & Roll. Some episodes feature in deep dives into the back catalogue of the musicians that have shaped the landscape of music of the past 60 years. Other episodes feature top ten lists, featured genres of rock, or just simply a fun topic. Either way, Nathan always delivers an entertaining and insightful show with lots of great music and his own flair for sharing his thoughts on the songs.

I'm back to take care of some unfinished business. I know I made a heartfelt farwell two years ago, but for several months the fact that I didn't finish season two of the alphabet has been nagging at me. On this episode I highlight the great rock band from Seattle, 'Heart' as I play ten of my favorite unerrated and underappreciated songs from the first half of their recording career. It's good to be back!

For a brief period of time Pop Metal (or some some referred to it as Glam Metal or Hair Metal) ruled the charts. On this weeks show I curate great songs from some of my favorite bands that aren't named Poison, Kiss, or Motley Crue. So grab your bottle of Jack Daniels, tease out your hair, and crank of up the volume on today's episode!

Welcome to this weeks episode of The ABC's of Rock. On this show I feature the amazing 90's funk metal/alt-rock band that most certainly should be celebrated for much more than their hit acoustic ballad, 'More Than Words". I'm talking about Extreme. I invite you on this musical journey through their recording career as I curate my favorite deeper albums cuts from all 5 of the studio LP's.

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!
I continue with the theme of New Wave and Synth Pop for at least one more week as we move on to the letter D which is represented by Duran Duran. They are one of the bands that were a major part of my childhood in the early 80s as I grew up watching MTV waiting with heightened anticipation for their videos to show up.

This week is the inaugural episode featuring a specific genre of music. It's been building towards this for a while, especially with my co-host urging me to focus an entire episode on her favorite style of music, New Wave. On this show I've curated 10 songs from bands/musicians from both sides of the pond that fall under the very big umbrella of New Wave. Most of the bands here are very well known for at least one or two huge hi...

Call it Goth Rock, Alt Rock, New Wave, Post Punk, it doesn't matter...The Cure blazed their own path and created their own style of music.

We all have our own personal "Concert Bucket List". On this weeks episode I share ten of my favorite bands/musicians that I haven't had the privilege of seeing LIVE in concert in my life. I did establish some criteria for this list. It has to be physically possible for me to actually see them live at some point. So they have to be a ALIVE, and ACTIVE. I never got to see David Bowie live, and I just never will....I have to live...

This is technically episode #2 of the podcast originally released on April 30th, 2020. It was unfortunately removed because of copyright infringement. I've learned my lesson not to mess with The Beatles. But I didn't want a gap in my library of podcasts so I've removed the music from this episode and have included Spotify links if you want to follow along and listen to the music. Chances are though if you're as big a Beatles fan...

Every year the bands and musicians that don't get inducted into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame is staggering. To be clear, I really don't care one way or the other. The Hall is a private organization and they have their right to invite whomever they want to their party. They are not the arbiters of taste and quality, hence I really don't get up in arms when my favorite bands continue to be left out. However, today's episode is d...

It's time to officially launch back into the alphabet again. We begin things off with one of the biggest rock stars of the 80s and 90s, Bryan Adams, whose yo-yo'ing career brought to his fans some of the most iconic music of their lives. This retrospective includes some terrific deep cuts from his catalogue between his debut self titled album through his 1996 album, 18 Til I Die.

I'M BAAAAACK! I couldn't stay away any longer. It is time to launch back into my alphabet journey, but before I do, I choose to recap my top 20 albums from last year.

Last Friday when I was perusing the new releases to my delight I saw that Richard Cheese released an album of new material. If you are not familiar with RC, he is a music parodist who performs in the style of a night club lounge act covering hip hop, alternative, rap, and pop songs, and he typically picks the more vulgar ones for comedic effect. There's nothing quite like hearing a lounge singer drop f-bombs whiles playing a pian...
