🎙️ This Week on America’s Podcast! 🎙️
We travel back to 1986 — perms were big, synths were bigger, and Peter Gabriel dropped his iconic album "So."
We brought in guest Travis Perrotta to help us break it down:
Is this album "So-So"… or does it hit like a lyrical Sledgehammer to the soul? You’ll have to listen to find out! (No spoilers — we're classy like that.)
💥 Plus, we’ve got Tracks of the Week hotter than a lava lamp on a shag carpet:
🎩 Marc goes vintage cool with The Doors – “The Soft Parade”
🌸 Travis brings the dream pop feels with Lush – “Sweetness and Light”
🥁 Mooger gets Stingy with it on Sting – “Fragile”
🤘 Jerry… well, he just says "Yo Mama." (Which we decode as Genesis – “Mama”... we think.)
So before the Red Rain falls, be a legend:
✅ Listen
✅ Laugh
✅ Leave us that ✨5-star review✨ on Apple Podcasts
(Seriously, don't make us send Peter Gabriel in a morphing CGI bubble to your house.)

Episode 518-Filter-The Amalgamut
🎙️ This Week on The BS! Sessions 🎙️
Episode Title: "The Amalgamut, a Mooger Flyby, and a Whole Lotta Rock!"
This week on America’s favorite barely-controlled audio trainwreck, we dove headfirst into Filter's ‘The Amalgamut’—a criminally underrated album that dares to ask, "What if industrial rock had feelings... and a gym membership?"
Our resident man of mystery, Mooger, was “on assignment” (which we assume means chasing down the last copy of Fear Factory's CD at a truck stop in Bakersfield), but he swung by for a quick “Yo!” before vanishing into the podcasting ether.
Joining the mayhem were two certified BS! troublemakers:
🎸 Jimmy James Schwartz – master of dad jokes and deep cuts
🥁 Travis Perrotta – possibly powered by guitar riffs and espresso
We almost stayed on topic. Almost. There were tangents. There was passion. There was confusion. In short, it was beautiful chaos.
And just when you thought we were done, we hit you with our Tracks of the Week, because opinions are like podcasts—everybody’s got one:
🎶 Jerry – “Brown Eyed Girl” (Everclear version, because why not confuse people?)
🎶 Mooger – “Demanufacture” by Fear Factory (robot mosh-pit certified)
🎶 Jimmy – “Icarus (Born on Wings of Steel)” by Kansas (prog nerds, unite!)
🎶 Travis – “Type” by Living Colour (funk metal perfection)
🎶 Marc – “Anytime” by Cheap Trick (because Cheap Trick is ALWAYS the right answer)
So... where do we go from here? Maybe off a cliff. Maybe to another episode. Maybe to Taco Bell.
Until next week—
🚫 Don’t let your life be an American cliché! 🚫

Episode 517- Cheap Trick The Top 25 Songs
This Week on America’s Podcast!
We summoned the mathematical wizardry of Ryan T. Russell—armed only with a calculator, a dream, and a list of 50 of our favorite Cheap Trick songs. What did he do? He crunched the numbers, sprinkled some rock 'n' roll sorcery, and conjured up the ultimate Top 25 Cheap Trick songs of all time!
Joining this sonic séance are none other than Ross Warner, author of American Standard: Cheap Trick from the Bars to the Budokan and Beyond, and the one and only Eddy Cannistraci, the man, the myth, the alcohol-powered legend.
By the end of this marathon, we bid a possibly-tearful, definitely-tipsy Auf Wiedersehen to Mooger and Eddy Alcohol Man, but don’t worry—we rally and bring it home with Marc, Ross, and Ryan still standing (barely).
So buckle up, Tricksters—we’re raising hell and counting riffs on this epic episode! Will your favorite make the list? Will someone start singing “Dream Police” off-key? Only one way to find out...
Until next week, say it with us: “Elo Kiddies!” And remember—don’t wake up with a monster.

Episode 516- Metal Church-The Dark
This Week on America’s Podcast:
We slam you harder than a metal riff with the one and only Metal Mike Tyler! Together, we dive headfirst into Metal Church’s The Dark — is it a thrash classic that’ll make your head bang or a total meltdown waiting to happen? Spoiler: no spoilers here… we like to keep you guessing (and slightly confused).
Tracks of the Week:
Marc rocks out to “Good Day in Hell” by The Eagles — because who doesn’t want a sunny trip to the underworld?
Mooger shreds with “Practice What You Preach” by Testament — sermon style, but with guitars.
Metal Mike brings the doom with “Never Known Peace” by Doomsday — perfect for when your existential crisis hits hard.
And we close out with Jerry jamming “The Nile Song” by Pink Floyd — because nothing says metal like psychedelic chaos.
Tune in, turn it up, and remember: get in the pit and try to love someone! Like, subscribe, share, and shower us with love — because this podcast loves you more than your grandma loves bingo night. 🤘🔥

Welcome to the wild world of the Free Form Rock Podcast, where we embrace every riff, solo, and scandalous hairdo from the glorious era of rock! If you’re a purist, a metal elitist who believes that any sound that isn’t an 8-minute guitar solo is akin to sacrilege, then this is your warning: you might want to turn down the volume and stick to your ‘perfect’ playlist filled with only the heaviest and most obscure bands that your no-caffeine diet can handle.
Here, we celebrate everything from shaking your head to classic rock anthems to moshing like a maniac at a metal concert! We love all the forms of rock—classic, metal, and everything in between. So, if your idea of a good time is debating over which band had the best leather pants, you’re in for quite the ride!
Sit back, relax, and remember: we don’t take ourselves too seriously—because if we did, we’d be stuck in the ‘70s, arguing over whether Led Zeppelin was better than Black Sabbath while wearing questionable platform shoes. Join us as we rock out the way rock was meant to be—loud, unapologetic, and just a little ridiculous! Tune in, turn it up, and let’s jam through the delightful chaos of our favorite tunes together!
