Being the only episode without music, Chris and Tim analyze each non hit from the Royal Scam and rank their top three. While they discuss the hits, they've excluded Kid Charlemagne, The Fez and Haitian Divorce from the rankings.
For some background into their musical tastes, Chris has been a huge Rush fan for most of his life, and Tim could say the same about Phish. For them, the indulgence of this podcast stems from learning more about the deeper cuts from albums they’ve either overlooked or are familiar with but dismissed for whatever reason.
They start with Steely Dan because the musicianship is up their with their favorite bands and there’s little drop off in quality from their radio songs to the lesser known songs.
“One could argue Aja is their best album, but The Royal Scam our favorite for reasons we explain in the show. This is the first episode either of us have ever done, and we’re grateful to all of our listeners. Over time, we hope to build upon the creation of our show by connecting with our listers through our social media groups, our website and live podcasts when the opportunity presents itself. We hope you enjoy!”
