We've discussed one album from 1991 each month here on the podcast and that still leaves a lot of great records on the table. Jeff and Matt circle back for a free form discussion regarding some of their favorites. They welcome a special guest from Columbus, Ohio's own Watershed, who put out their debut major label release on Epic Records in 1991. Guitarist Colin Gawel sits in with Matt and Jeff to share stories about Spin Doctors, touring with Insane Clown Posse, the Smithereens and lots more! Plus: the guys reveal details about the podcast they'll launch in January.

Rush - Roll the Bones
Why are we here? Because we're here ... to discuss Rush's Roll the Bones. Why does it happen? Because this album happened to be released in 1991, of course! For this episode, Ted Asregadoo, co-host of the Planet LP podcast, joins Matt and Jeff to discuss the Canadian power trio's 14th studio album — and how it fits into the coming AOR upheaval that was only beginning to be felt.
