From Zeppelin to ZZ Top: The ABC's of Rock Part 2

  • “Would you take Led Zeppelin over Loverboy? What about The Police over Pantera? And who the hell is holding whose dong on Cloud 8?”Welcome to one of the most unhinged, hilarious, and musically passionate episodes of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle! With Ben Rogers out on vacation, the mic is in the capable (and chaotic) hands of Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Little Baby Cornbread” Ray—and they’re diving headfirst into a rock ‘n’ roll alphabet showdown you won’t forget.Inspired by Loudwire’s “ABCs of Rock,” the crew debates the best rock bands for every letter of the alphabet—from Heart to Judas Priest, Metallica to Nirvana, and Van Halen to ZZ Top. But this isn’t just a list—it’s a full-blown, laugh-out-loud, off-the-rails debate filled with hot takes, deep cuts, and some of the funniest moments in show history.🔥 Key Moments You Can’t Miss:The Cloud 8 Incident:
  • “Krystina was on Cloud 9, and we were over there on Cloud 8… holding our own dongs.”
  • (Yes, they clarify. No, it doesn’t help.)
  • KT’s Rock Rants:
  • “Motley Crue is terrible. I said it. I meant it.”
  • The Great Queen Debate:
  • “I actually prefer Queens of the Stone Age to Queen.”
  • “Come on. Freddie Mercury? Let’s not act like they’re better than Queen.”
  • The Who vs. Weezer Showdown:
  • “Who’s better? The Who or Weezer? Text us now!”

🎶 From Talking Heads to Tool, Rush to Radiohead, and even a shoutout to XTC and Uriah Heep, this episode is a love letter to rock fans of all generations—with a heavy dose of absurdity and Eagle-style humor.If you’ve ever argued over which band truly rules the letter “P” (Pearl Jam? Pink Floyd? Pantera?), or if you just want to laugh until your face hurts, this episode is for you. It’s a perfect blend of music nerdery, comedy chaos, and the kind of chemistry only Ben and Skin (and crew) can deliver.
