Part 2 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about the music of 2002.

Show notes:

• Phil's #5: Coldplay's second album turned them into superstars
• Jay's #5: Spoon returns to an indie and begins a long stretch of excellence
• Phil's and Jay's #4: Strong release from the Tragically Hip highlights their varied strengths
• Phil's #2: The last great Foo Fighters album caused a lot of turmoil for the band
• Jay's #3 and Phil's #1: Beck with another sad bastard folk-rock masterpiece
• Jay's #2: Killer debut from Interpol was part of the hot NYC scene of the early '00s
• It's hard for some bands to live up to a great first album
• Phil's #3 and Jay's #1: Queens of the Stone Age reaches new heights with help from Dave Grohl on drums
• Favorite songs: "No One Knows" (Jay), "End of the Day" (Phil)
