Underdubs: 70's Progressive Rock and More

🎧 Underdubs – Episode 9: What Have We Been Listening To? 🎧

Brian Donohoe and Pat Strawser Season 1 Episode 9

In this episode, we reconnect after a long hiatus to dive deep into our evolving music listening habits, personal discoveries, and reflections on how technology has reshaped the way we consume music. From classic rock revivals and progressive rock favorites to experimental artists, ECM soundscapes, Bandcamp gems, and even 70s elevator music, this episode explores the full spectrum of our musical explorations.

We discuss how family, nostalgia, and curated lists influence our listening, why algorithms can be both helpful and frustrating, and how documenting new finds can reinvigorate the joy of music discovery. Whether you’re into prog rock, fusion, ECM, smooth jazz, psychedelic rock, or independent Bandcamp artists, this episode is packed with recommendations and insightful commentary!
