Adam’s Music Pick: Queen
Could examining the subject of the #1 movie in America make this the #1 podcast in America? Who knows! But it’s worth a shot. Scot and Jeff welcome Adam White to dig deep into the catalog of Queen. Each host has a different favorite era, which means no segment of the band’s career is overlooked. Yes, we discuss the amazing Freddie Mercury and his death. Yes, we talk about LIVE AID. Yes, we even spend multiple minutes examining if Adam Lambert is a good fit as lead singer for the current incarnation of Queen. It’s all here, for the die-hards and the new fans.
