For The New Dad Rock, that year just might be 1997.In this special “Desert Island Classics” edition, Keith makes the case for a trio of albums that still echo through indie rock history:  🎸 Modest Mouse – The Lonesome Crowded West  🎸 Pavement – Brighten the Corners  🎸 Radiohead – OK ComputerThese three towering releases helped define an era, a mindset, and a mood—sprawling, angular, atmospheric, and occasionally absurd. Steve and Keith unpack their enduring influence, share personal memories tied to these records, and debate what makes an album truly castaway-worthy.🌴 Also in this episode:What counts as a “desert island disc”?Are we really alone out there—with only our CD wallets and Discmen to keep us company?And which albums from 1997 still feel like survival essentials? No filler.
