Summary

It’s a July 4th celebration of American rock & roll with the Pod of Thunder crew - Andy, Nick, and Chris L.! They’re diving into their personal picks for the greatest American bands of all time, but this isn’t a countdown. It’s a passionate, no-rules discussion covering everyone from Van Halen, KISS, Aerosmith, and ZZ Top to the B-52s, the Beach Boys, Journey, Metallica, and the Ramones. They’re sharing personal stories, swapping favorite songs, trading trivia, and even giving props to under-the-radar icons like Black Flag, Faith No More, and the Commodores.
