ROCK AND/OR ROLL

Originally released October 2013:

What exactly does "heavy" mean? Who were the earliest, heaviest bands and how did their particular brand of rock and roll evolve over the course of the seventies, culminating in a new genre called "heavy metal" that exploded in the late seventies and into the eighties? On the next two episodes of the podcast BJ and his guests Martin Popoff (Part 1 only) and Fistful of Dave will attempt to answer these questions while sharing with you some of the very heaviest music of the seventies.
