This week, we're lacing up our adidas and settling one of hip-hop's most spirited debates — the four greatest Beastie Boys tracks of all time. From the anarchic party-wrecking energy of their early days to the jazz-infused, sample-flipping genius of their later era, Ad-Rock, MCA, and Mike D built a catalog that's impossible to pare down — but we're doing it anyway.
More music and other musings!
From the revolutionary "New Jack Swing" beats of the 80s to the sultry, boundary-pushing grooves of the late 90s, Janet Jackson hasn’t just followed pop trends—she’s invented them.

More cover songs and other ramblings...
This episode is a love letter to the art of the cover song. We gather with deep admiration and slightly overcaffeinated enthusiasm to rank the four BEST covers ever recorded.

This week we rewind to 1989, a year when pop ruled the radio, rock got slicker, and hip hop fully arrived. We debate, revisit, and rank the best songs of the year, from massive hits to overlooked gems. Tastes clash, nostalgia runs high, and by the end we try to land on a list that does justice to one of music’s most loaded years.
We discuss The Beatles, music documentaries, and power of music and much MORE!
In this episode, we Welcome to the Jungle of impossible choices as we argue, negotiate, and possibly start a Civil War over the four best Guns N’ Roses songs. Egos get bruised, opinions go off Out Ta Get Me, and at least one classic gets Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door before the final list is locked in. By the time it’s over, we swear the rankings are Patience-tested, scientifically sound, and in no way influenced by excessive air-guita...
This episode cranks the amps to 11 as we argue, fist-pump, and possibly breathe fire while picking the Four Best KISS songs. Expect thunderous riffs, outrageous choruses, and debates hotter than Gene Simmons’ tongue. Will it be Rock and Roll All Nite till morning, a Detroit Rock City drive-by, or someone shouting “You wanted the best!” and meaning it? Love is gun, lists are loud, and someone definitely gets Strutter-stepped on.
In this episode, we rewind the tape and debate the Four Best Soundtracks of the 1980s. We Footloose through chart-topping classics, Flashdance around iconic movie moments, and Top Gun straight for the albums that turned films into full-blown pop events. Expect passionate picks, friendly arguments, and plenty of reasons to hit rewind and press play on the decade when soundtracks ruled the world!
We crank the volume and Ramble On through what we believe are the Four Best Led Zeppelin songs. Expect sparks to fly as opinions collide like a Whole Lotta Love, deep cuts try to Break On Through the conversation, and at least one take lands with the force of a Kashmir drum hit. We’re Dazed and Confused by the greatness, trying to Bring It On Home with a final ranking that somehow still feels Stairway to Heaven level controversial....
More PRINCE! (and Jimmy tells us his 3 HATED Prince songs)
We take a deep dive in Lake Minnetonka and give YOU the BEST Prince songs ever!
The songs of 2025 that lived rent-free in our heads. The bangers, the slow burns, the ‘how is this still playing?’ moments. No skips, questionable dancing, and at least one track that ruined our algorithm forever.
We’re striking a pose and diving into the pop vault to crown the very best Madonna songs. From dancefloor commandments to chart-topping confessions, we separate the Like a Virgins from the Borderlines and debate which tracks still make the whole world groove.
