    TSC - 10yr Look Back - 2024 - Final
    2024/11/10
    We think it was in late 2014 that a thirst for exposure to a greater range of music led us to come together as a group – The Sonic Collective (TSC). Our goal is to each month select, listen to, and consider an album of ‘significance’ that is at least six-years of age. We tend to avoid greatest hits compilations and live albums, but exceptions have been made. Over the years we’ve listened to nearly 150 albums, had a few special rounds, and also interviewed a handful of artists and experts (Danko Jones, Sam Roberts, Alan Cross). So here we are, at 10-years of musical discovery, which seems like the ideal time to reflect on where we’ve been, the music we’ve enjoyed, perhaps albums we didn’t like so much, and think about how the experience has shaped us as fans of music. Enjoy listening to our look back on decade of exploring music!

    Growing up in Newfoundland in 1975, I was a kid who loved Elvis Presley. His music had a unique spark that captured my imagination, and, looking back, I realize that spark ignited worldwide. For my pick on The Sonic Collective Podcast this month, I chose Elvis’s groundbreaking debut album from 1956, an album that changed the music industry forever. This album didn't just bring Elvis to the masses; it introduced rock ’n’ roll to a wider audience, shaping the future of popular music. I still remember hearing those soulful, energetic vocals and feeling the sheer power of something truly different. In this episode, we dive into how Elvis’s first album turned him into a cultural icon and why it left a lasting impact on fans like me and the world at large. Join us to explore the magic of Elvis’s debut and hear why this record remains one of the most pivotal releases in music history.
