You gotta start it off with a killer. In episode 17, Jay and Deon return to the air hockey table to discuss some of their favorite all-time album openers. 10 mind-blowing tracks that kept needles locked into grooves and listeners' minds open to the sonic statement of intent they were about to experience. Jay goes into full rock and roll mode while Deon buzzingly mutters the word “obviously” like sixteen hundred flippin' times. It’s all just good, clean fun.
"Get into the groove. You've got to prove (your love to me)." - Bay City's own Queen Madge.
