Playlist Challenge, Day 330

London After Midnight — “Spider and the Fly”

Weekly Focus: Jesus Christ Superstar, Day One

With this being a concept album/rock opera, it is hard to get a true feel from the various bits and pieces. However, I offer up a taste of what you will experience from the record. I still suggest you sit and listen to it from beginning to end, though.

Ian Gillan, Murray Head, and Yvonne Elliman — “What’s the Buzz?/Strange Thing Mystifying,” from the album Jesus Christ Superstar (1970).

Album of the Week: Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar is one of my mom’s favorite albums, and I have been listening to it for literally my whole life. From start to finish, this is one of the most complete and well-done records out there. Told mostly from the point of view of Judas Iscariot, this rock opera recounts the last week of Jesus’s life.

If you have never heard it, I suggest you remedy that immediately.

Marilyn Manson — “This is the New Shit”
