February 07, 2025 129. Final Episode – The Replacements
[sniff]

For the honest-to-God final epipod ever of Finest Worksongs, Matt & Matt had the pleasure of discussing The Replacements' "Let It Be" album -- which won final our "Listener's Choice" contest. Yes, the boys delve into the music and the history of the artists -- just like they've done on the 128 previous epipods. But this final one was also a chance to reflect on five years of fun -- and to say thank you to the Finest Workfans. Stevens calls this the "Kitchen Sink Epipod." Listen and you'll hear why. Thank you to everyone who has been with us since the beginning, and for those many new friends we've met along the way. It's been a joy and an honor.

October 31, 2024 127. The Beach Boys – Pet Sounds
For the final “regular” epipod of Finest Worksongs, we finally tackle a subject that we’ve held off for so so long: the Beach Boys’ masterpiece “Pet Sounds.” It’s an album that was revolutionary for its time, and still sounds as such to this day. “Pet Sounds” was the creation of an inspired Brian Wilson, who dreamed, envisioned and ultimately crafted the album to his desires with the help of The Wrecking Crew (and NOT his band mates). When the rest of the band finally arrived, Brian “just” needed their vocals - and they weren’t too thrilled about it at the time. But some 60 years later, the world finally caught up to what Brian Wilson had in mind. And it’s arguably one of the greatest albums of all time.

October 03, 2024 126. Hall & Oates – Rock 'n' Soul Part 1
Very few duos - sorry, they told us they don't like to be called that!-- have achieved as much commercial success as Daryl Hall and John Oates. (Don't even THINK of referring to them as "Hall & Oates, by the way.) With a run really beginning in the mid-1970s through the '80s, these two Philly natives ruled the airwaves with their "Blue-Eyed Soul"-infused brand of pop and rock. Their "best of" compilation, the optimistically titled "Rock 'n Soul Part 1," is an essential addition to anyone's music collection. All the hits are here - and man, did they have hits: "Sara Smile," "She's Gone," "Maneater," "Private Eyes," "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)," and on and on and on.
