    May 10 2024

    The Light the Sky Podcast returns and proudly presents the 80's Summer Tour!

We start with Bon Jovi's diamond album "Slippery When Wet". Is this album more than just the big hits? Is there anything salvageable on the B-side of the record?

  • Kevin Talks Production, Lyrics, Musical Thresholds and a Bunch of Nonsense

    Episode 91 has Kevin return from a long Light the Sky break to assure our listener(s) that yes, we still do listen to and talk about music. In this first "solo album" Kevin dives into the general topic of production, lyrics, what does make good or bad music, and just how much weirdness can someone take before they can't anymore.

  • Boston ”Life, Love & Hope” (2013) Track by Track Debate
    Nov 17 2022

    Does anyone care at this point? Probably not, but we have to struggle through it anyway. Light the Sky grudgingly sits down to discuss Boston's 2013 "effort". Does this band even belong on the greatest discographies of all time list, or should we have covered the first two albums as special episodes and sent the rest to oblivion with a Shift-Delete? Call the plumbers prematurely because this Love It or Flush It might very well be a flush-fest. This episode was livestreamed! Check us out in future episodes on twitch.tv/lightthesky

  • Boston ”Corporate America” (2002) Track by Track Debate
    Oct 21 2022

    Brad Delp's last album. Anton Cosmo's first album. Should we be thankful this album is difficult to find and listen to? Maybe Tom put us out of our misery by pulling it after yet another record company dispute. Mark, Chris, Alex and Kevin debate this strange album that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Are there any life playlist songs on this album? Does Brad's last studio album make an impact? Light the Sky discusses all this and more about Boston's "Corporate America". Stay tuned as we turn the final page on Boston next show.

  • Boston ”Walk On” (1994) Track by Track Debate
    Sep 16 2022

    The gloves are dropped right from the opening faceoff as a line brawl erupts at the start of this week's episode, which covers Boston's 1994 album "Walk On". Who ends up getting sent to the penalty box to sit out five minutes for fighting? With another long break in-between albums and a new singer, where did Boston take their sound and direction after "Third Stage"? Words fly, opinions and hot takes are slapped around and we culminate in another Love It or Flush it as Mark, Chris, Alex and Kevin debate the single 90s studio album from Boston.

  • Boston ”Third Stage” (1986) Track by Track Debate
    Aug 26 2022

    Get ready to eject the warp core and find ejection systems offline as Light the Sky dives right into Boston's 1986 effort, "Third Stage". Is this a solid underdog, underappreciated album that deserves its place in the Boston lore? Does this album contain "life playlist" songs that fit with Boston's classic two first albums? Or are we getting a "Main Bus B Undervolt", "Another Master Alarm", "Third stage separation failed" kind of album? Mark, Chris, Alex and Kevin dive headfirst into this contentious episode to discuss all of this and more, including the debut of Jim Masdea's songwriting chops and former Chicago Bears quarterback Tyler Bray.

  • Boston ”Don’t Look Back” (1978) Track by Track Debate
    Aug 12 2022

    Put out an APB because Light the Sky Podcast has disappeared down the rabbit hole that is Boston's Don't Look Back. Is this an underappreciated deep cut record for those who want more Boston, or is it a re-tread that isn't done as well with less depth? Who's favorite song is on this album and what song is it? Which members of Light the Sky strap on the gloves and go toe to toe on this one? Mark, Chris, Alex and Kevin discuss and debate all this and more, shaking things out at the end with a classic Love It or Flush It.
