In this episode, Rob and Dave fire up the musical time machine and pit 1982 against 1992, two years that changed the sound of pop in very different ways. They start by breaking down each year’s Billboard Top 5 hits, where synths, power ballads, and early MTV shine in ’82, while ’92 flexes with grunge tremors, hip hop dominance, and slick pop polish. From chart-toppers that ruled car radios to songs you could not escape at the mall, they examine what these hits say about the mood, style, and cultural heartbeat of their respective years.

But the charts never tell the whole story, so Rob and Dave dig deeper into the tracks that lived just outside the Top 5 and still hit hard today. Cult favorites, album cuts, and radio staples that helped define each year get their moment in the spotlight, sparking debate, nostalgia, and a few friendly jabs. In the end, the gloves come off as Rob and Dave each make the case for which year truly delivered the better music. Was it the neon glow and new wave confidence of 1982, or the raw edge and genre-blending brilliance of 1992? One year will win, one will lose, and the listeners get to ride shotgun for the showdown
