In their second episode, hosts E and Tank have very different takes on the value of song lyrics. How much of a song's emotional workload do lyrics carry? Do listeners need to evolve with their favorite artists in order to appreciate their lyrics? Who is the current Bob Dylan of lyricists? (Spoiler alert: it's not Kid Rock.)

Plus, it's the debut of the Playlist Challenge! Listen as E and Tank create thematic playlists for one another, rank the songs (completely arbitrarily), and then defend their rankings.

In their debut episode, E and Tank try to figure out why it's so hard to talk about music. Why does deep interest in music fall off after a certain point? How do you share your passion with people who just aren't into it anymore? And what it is, anyway, that E and Tank find so vital about the music they love?
