We’re back from our summer hiatus and are ready to rock! Sailor and Ed welcome guest co-host Twig, our metalhead friend, while Matt is away on dad duty. On this episode we try to explain the phenomenon of why music from our early formative years seems so much better than the new music we hear as adults. Ed even has some new music recommendations for rock and metal fans. So grab a glass of your favorite whiskey and join us as we discuss and debate!

We're excited and privileged to have a new guest joining us tonight! Maggie Campbell, aside from being a prog-rock aficionado, is the estate rum manager for Mount Gay, the world’s oldest operating rum distillery, located in Barbados. We’re also stoked to have a returning guest, and friend of the show, Paul Hletko, founder and master distiller of FEW Spirits in Evanston, IL. Listen in as we talk whiskey, rum and continue our discussion about progressive rock, with a focus on the band, Elecric Light Orchestra (ELO).

It's the first part of our progressive rock series where we will dive into the history of the most influential bands in the prog-rock genre. On this episode we start with one of the earliest prog-rock bands, Yes! Who is "Yes"? Why should you care? Their catalog of music is so extensive you may know this band's music and not even realize it! We attempt to scratch the surface of the long and convoluted career of this band where the term "band" seems woefully inadequate!
