Episode 123: Time to close out our look at the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Polls, this time with 1988 and 1989. Sonic Youth and Tracy Chapman were some of the big winners in 1988. Do you remember hearing "Fast Car" for the first time? But like, really heard it? 1989 winners include Neil Young, with a song that Joe is absolutely FEELING. 

Next, in Just a Bit Outside, two iconic rock acts barely hit the Hot 100 in 1980 with a couple of songs that don't get much play in this day and age. Were they underrated?? You be the judge.
