In tribute to Dad Rock house band Night Streets — and specifically our friend Bobby Padavick, the group's drummer — we discuss some great, but possibly overlooked, drummers in music.

Everyone knows about John Bonham, Keith Moon, Neal Peart, Ringo Starr, Ginger Baker and Stewart Copeland. But do you know about Danny Carey, Todd Trainer, George Hurley and Clyde Stubblefield? These are a few of our favorites ...

Here are some excerpts from that conversation (including an entertaining anecdote about the Replacements).

Jack White's Third Man Records in Nashville is a place of many musical wonders. We got a behind-the-scenes tour (no cameras allowed) from Ben Blackwell, who helps run the label/store for his uncle Jack. Besides sharing what makes this place so special, Ben talks about his love of the Stooges, his massive personal record collection and how Third Man is introducing kids to the music business.

And ... we spin some real vinyl records on the show.

You can also watch a video of the Dad Rock hosts checking out the Third Man front of store at dadrock.usatoday.com
