Episode 46: 'The Joshua Tree' with Erick Bieger

The album that cemented U2 as one of the biggest bands on the
planet and established a legacy they would never get away from...
even when they tried! Mike is joined by West of House's Erick
Bieger to share their love for 'The Joshua Tree'.


From the first time Erick listened to 'The Joshua Tree', the
album resonated with him strongly. Not only did it inspire
Erick's own journey as a musician but it also raised his own
awareness of American foreign policy as explored by Bono and the
band throughout the album.


 


Which track on 'The Joshua Tree' holds a personal significance to
Mike's own family history?


What connects serial killer Robert John Bardo to the song 'Exit'?


Who was Greg Carroll, the man the song 'One Tree Hill' was
written in memory of?


 


PLUS: Enjoy 'Holy Ghosted', a track from West of House's debut
album 'Crescendo of Silence'.


 


An all time classic finally takes its place on 'My Classic Album'
