We start winding down this year, with an update to the list that served as the inspiration to this podcast, WAXQ-FM NYs, Top 1,043 Greatest Classic Rock Songs of All Time.  Did we effect any change?  Did the programmers at The Q, just shuffle some songs around to make us believe that a real vote had taken place?

Our friends at Rolling Stone Magazine have come out with a new version of their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.  Since they mentioned the name of our show in their article, we thought it was only fitting that we had a discussion about it.

To honor the passing of guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen, we take on UDiscover Music’s list of the best guitarists of all time.  We assume they mean rock… and they also make a ton of other “assumptions.”

We go wicked Jersey centric for this episode.  In a world gone mad, we debate the best thing we ever had… Taylor Ham.  More specifically, NJ.com’s 20 Best Taylor Ham Sandwiches.

Radio stations like to run “Of All Time” and “Best Of” countdowns on long holiday weekends and it appears that the kids at Sirus/XMs Classic Vinyl channel decided to the same.  On Labor Day weekend in 2020, they ran a list of “The Top 50 Albums Turning 50” - so basically we got a list of supposedly 50 great rock albums released in 1970.   Or did we?  Mike and Robert debate that and Jimmy Page may have done it again...

Thanks to “Weird Al” Yankovick for hipping us to our list this week, as we give Paste Magazine a break and talk about Billboard Magazine’s Top 100 Music Video Artists of All Time.  Who do you think was #1 and more importantly, who was left off the list?

We end the month of August with a dig at a NJ radio station, that as you will hear - clearly did not do their homework.  Mike and Robert love it when any attention is paid to the Garden State, but one would think that a local radio station would have tried harder.

Once again, we turn our ire at Paste Magazine for phoning in another list that is all over the place.  Paste Magazine called it the 50 Best Southern Rock Albums of All Time and when you listen, you’ll see why that was just a lie.

On this episode, a review of Paste Magazine’s 70 Best Albums of the 70s.  Once again, Paste is all over the place and published another haphazard list.  Yes, we’re wicked opinionated, but it’s all in good fun.

On this episode, a review of Paste Magazine’s 15 Best ABBA songs.  Listen as Mike and Robert convince you that ABBA is not just a sugary quartet from Sweden, but a musical force to be reckoned with.
