Pod of Thunder

The guys analyze a Nick pick from the Listener Submission List: “Burn Up the Night” from the 1982 Chubby Checker album The Change Has Come! The fellas were somewhat shocked to see a song by this artist on the list, as they were by the discovery that he released anything aside from “The Twist” and “Let’s Twist Again” in the ’60s and the Fat Boys collab in the ’80s. Did it end up being a colossal disappointment or an extremely pleasant surprise? Did it have a snowball’s chance in hell of becoming a Rock & Roll Boner classic? Listen and find out!

The guys analyze an Andy pick from the Listener Submission List: the title track from the 2005 Glenn Hughes solo album Soul Mover! Featuring Dave Navarro and Chad Smith, who were briefly bandmates in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this one had all the ingredients (on paper, anyway) for a potent power-trio workout. But was the song itself good enough to earn some Sweet Surrenders and the coveted Rock & Roll Boner distinction, or did it receive a swift kick or two to the crotch? Listen and find out!
