    Welcome to the Hair Metal special! This is also known as Jim's Day Off and Matt's Dream Episode. Originally intended to be a derogatory reference, "Hair Metal" has been a label embraced by loyal fans for over 3 decades. On this episode, Matt and Jim dive into the history and influences of hair metal. They discuss when they think it peaked and what else besides the rise of grunge led to its demise. Matt has a name-dropping marathon as he reconnects to the music that helped define the core of his musical journey. Oh, but sorry Sandy, he forgot to mention Europe.

    Album Anniversaries: August 2024
    Aug 17 2024
    It's time to move on to August, but this time Matt and Jim celebrate album anniversaries with a twist. Instead of imposing their own picks of best albums celebrating this month, they polled the audience to let them decide. That's not to say it stops them from sharing their opinions about the audience choices. They take the top 5 and count them down like the old days. They jump from funk to hair metal and from trip-hop to Brit-pop with a little disco between it all. Matt and Jim each then share their own favorite album celebrating in August. Of course it wouldn't be right if they didn't throw in a few honorable mentions. So come join in a discover the albums the audience picked, or better than that, join our JAM Yearbook Facebook group page and cast your own vote for next month!
