#10 sees one of the greatest singer-songwriters reflect on broken relationships and her inability to hide her sorrow from the world.

John Coltrane elevates us all, The Velvet Underground & Nico debut, Carole King reclaims her own songs, Van Morrison takes control in the studio, and the quiet Beatle speaks out.

Miles Davis refuses to settle for “some prearranged shit”, Jaco Pastorius lends his talents to Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd builds The Wall, Fleetwood Mac self-destructs spectacularly, and Funkadelic takes us to the dark side of the soul.

Bowie becomes an alien savior, Seattle musicians overcome grief and seize greatness, The Allman Brothers dominate a stage, Simon and Garfunkel say goodbye, and Phoebe Bridgers cements her critical reputation.

The debut by Nas, a very Americana-esque album by the Grateful Dead, a foray into psychedelia by the Beatles, a song cycle by XTC, and Brian Wilson’s all-killer/no-filler LP are our favorite albums for today. At 5:00 PM tonight, Rob of Chocolate Cake will be featuring many of our Favorite Albums on air – tune in!
