Flatbasset Radio: Episode #81 (American Album Hall Of Fame Vol. 2)

If being afraid is a crime we'll hang side by side...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to the second annual installment of the Flatbasset Radio American Album Hall Of Fame!

That's right, folks, continuing the tradition we started during 4th Of July week last year, I'm back to induct six new albums to the Hall Of Fame. If you're new to the FRAAHOF (of "Fraaaahhoooffff..."), feel free to go back and check out the inaugural class from 2015 that made up the two parts of Flatbasset Radio: Episode #61.

This year I'm covering yet another wide-swath of American music. Before we get to the albums, though, here's a quick reminder of the FRAAHOF's crieria:

01. An album must be at least 10 years old to be inducted into the FRAAHOF

02. Only 6 albums per year may be inducted

03. Only 2 of those 6 albums may have been released over 30 years ago

04. No artist can appear in consecutive years 

So, with those criteria in mind, here's a look at this year's inductees:

Hell of a class, no? As per usual, I'll be playing three songs off each of the albums being inducted and talk for far too long about each of them. Sound good? Well, too bad, you get what you pay for.

So, now that you know, here's what the Flatbasset Radio American Album Hall Of Fame looks like as of today:

Pretty fuckin' sharp, eh? Alright, let's get to the show.
