What are some striking parallels between the careers of Hayley Williams and Christina Aguilera? Can the quality of a band sometimes be determined by the solo careers of the frontmen and frontwomen?

Here are some of the topics that we go over in this episode:

• Is Olivia Rodrigo's "Good for U" really all that similar to Paramore's "Misery Business"?
• How has The Weeknd managed to stay current while also "throwing back"?
• How did most Paramore fans take Hayley's solo branching out into "poppier" projects?
• Was Coldplay's "Music of the Spheres" a flop?
