Episode 19 THE JOSHUA TREE by U2 with Greg Polard (of Where it Went Podcast)

Spinning Out (another music podcast) We talk to artists about their favorite albums and go on wild tangents. This week's guest is podcaster and musician, Greg Polard. Today we are talking about "The Joshua Tree" by U2 (1987). We talk about both being lifelong fans of the band and having to battle off the haters on a daily basis. We talk about what makes this album special and how it changed mid-80s hardcore and how that impact can be felt to this day. Greg Polard also is one of the hosts of Where it Went Podcast, as well as Something to Du. His old band, One Up is working on a discography LP with Hellminded Records, that will be dropping at some point in 2021. Very excited for this upcoming document of hardcore history!
