   #116: 'Disintegration' by The Cure

   We're kicking off Gothtoberfest with the seminal goth rock album by the seminal goth rock band. We discuss Robert Smith's apparently healthy relationship with his wife despite his numerous songs about heartbreak as well as the apparent influence "Lullaby" had on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But in the end, we must decide whether this belongs on the list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

   #46: 'Graceland' by Paul Simon

   Hey there, Mr. Jambo! We're celebrating the 40th anniversay or Paul Simon's landmark album, Graceland. With Graceland, Simon heads to South Africa and comes back with one of the most ambitious, and most controversial, albums of the 1980s. We dig into the irresistible hooks, the complicated cultural politics, and whether the whole album was even his to make.

   Un Poquito Moss - #291: "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins

   With "In the Air Tonight, Phil Collins turned heartbreak, bitterness over his recent divorce into an unforgettable piece of music. We’ll explore the song’s mysterious mythology, its unlikely rise to iconic status, and why that drum fill still hits with such force decades later. While we all remember "In the Air Tonight" for it's iconic drum break, is it enough for it to be considered on the greatest songs of all time? Follow Please No Moss on Instagram!
