In this episode of The ABC’s of Rock, I dive headfirst into the electrifying, genre-bending world of Muse, one of my personal favorite bands of the last two decades. But rather than spotlight their arena-filling anthems, I’ve curated ten of their most underrated and under-appreciated tracks. These are the deep cuts, the sonic experiments, the emotional gut-punches that showcase the full creative force of Matt Bellamy and company. From the raw energy of Showbiz to the cinematic polish of Will of the People, this episode is a journey through Muse’s evolution, part commentary, part fan confession, and all love letter. Along the way, I share personal stories, musical breakdowns, and just a little friendly fire at the parts of their discography that left me cold. Whether you’re a diehard fan or just Muse-curious, I hope this episode offers a fresh lens on one of the most ambitious and polarizing bands in modern rock.

In this episode of The ABC’s of Rock, I step into the thunderous, mystical world of Led Zeppelin—but not the hits you’ve heard a thousand times. This time, I’m spotlighting ten of their most underrated and underappreciated tracks. These deep cuts reveal a side of Zeppelin that often flies under the radar, but are just as powerful and essential to their legacy. With a mix of personal stories, musical insight, and a whole lot of love for this band, I explore what makes each song special—from the composition and performances to the emotional weight they carry. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just Zeppelin-curious, I hope this episode gives you a new way to experience one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
