On this episode we discuss bands everyone loves to hate, how pop songs aren’t as complex as they used to be, and O’Brien has found the most complete rock song ever. We also play MixTape and climb the Wall of Tunes for a band from the 70s that both O’Brien and Doug were NOT into, but now they are in their top 15. #steelydan

About O'Brien & Doug
From the publisher's feed
Doug and Brian have known each other since junior high school. They didn’t become “O’Brien & Doug” until their widely popular radio show polluted the airwaves of their local rock station. Brian…
was "Chris O'Brien" on the air and had been in broadcasting for 25 years and Doug....hadn’t. They spoke to listeners on the air about what was important (Who was the best rock drummer? Should 80s movies be required for all high school students?). The magic continues in the O'Brien & Doug Podcast!
