Free Form Rock Podcast

This week on America’s Podcast, we’re heading back to 1997 and talking about the final INXS studio album recorded with the legendary Michael Hutchence — Elegantly Wasted.

Joining us is Free Form family member Eric Lussier, and we’ve got one big question:

Is Elegantly Wasted a lost classic of the ’90s?

Was this an album that deserved WAY more attention than it got? How does it stand up against the classic INXS records? And knowing this would become Michael Hutchence’s final album with the band, does hearing it today hit completely fucking differently?

Oh, we’ve got opinions. 😂🤘

We discuss.

We disagree.

We argue.

We agree.

Then somebody probably disagrees with the thing we just agreed about.

You know… basically a normal episode of Free Form Rock Podcast. 🤣

But that’s ALL you’re getting.

NO FUCKING SPOILERS.

You’ll have to listen and find out where everybody lands on Elegantly Wasted.

This week on America’s Podcast, we dive into the new YES album, Aurora with Free Form family member Joseph Staub!

No Jon Anderson. No Chris Squire.

So the big fucking question is: Can this version of YES deliver an album that stands up alongside their classic albums, or does Aurora fail to live up to that legendary YES name?

Let’s just say there’s a HUGE debate on this episode. 😂🔥 Everybody has an opinion, everybody has something to say, and nobody is backing down.

But we’re giving you NO SPOILERS!

You’ll have to listen and decide for yourself. 🤘

🔥 Joseph: Protest the Hero — “From the Sky”
🔥 Shane: Twin Temple — “Doomed Lovers”

No more spoilers—you’ll have to tune in!

Tracks of the Week:
