Über diesen Titel

 Stacey Federoff and Nick Keppler are two journalists on a mission to second-guess the respected music critics who created the book 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Each episode, they pick two albums at random and do deep dives. They revisit old favorites, expand their tastes and hope to one day understand the appeal of Hüsker Dü. Expect laughs, trivia, historic contexts and their judgement on whether or not each album is essential to living a fulfilling life.2025 Nick Keppler and Stacey Federoff Musik Sozialwissenschaften

  • Episode 5: Nanci Griffith and Elliott Smith

    Episode 5: Nanci Griffith and Elliott Smith
    Jan 27 2026

    Nanci Griffith tries to make folk-a-billy happen and Elliott Smith backs up Madonna, literally.

    This time, we ponder three albums from 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, Griffith's The Last of the True Believers and two by Smith, Either/Or and Figure 8.

    We also dive into Texans' profound love of all things Texan, learn about the Great Credibility Scare and why it meant payday for some oddball country artists, ponder the limits of empathy and cognitive load and try to pick a sad boy Mount Rushmore.

    Our logo is by Kelsey Byers. Our theme song is "Stuff that Sounds like This" by Women's Basketball, used courtesy of Brian LaRue, and you can now listen to Women's Basketball on all the major streaming platforms.

    Episode 4: The Wall by Pink Floyd and I Should Coco by Supergrass
    Dec 27 2025

    Pink Floyd's awful fans punish them with more rock stardom and Supergrass discover that meeting the strange ones isn't actually so great.

    We also learn about Pittsburgh's Aerosmith riot of 1976, revisit the homogeny of mid-'90s alt-rock radio, stumble upon a celebrity cameo in the Supergrass story and discover that under and overachieving as an adolescent can both tragically lead to a career in journalism.
