It's been a while, but we're finally back in the '70s! Ruby and Britney are pretty familiar with this decade of music so they decided to give a chance to a band they had never heard of before. So this week, it's The Raspberries time to shine with their album Fresh. Join us to see if it passes the fresh test or if it's actually a stinker.

When Ruby was asked what her top three choices were this week, the response was "Stone Temple Pilots, Stone Temple Pilots, Stone Temple Pilots!" With a response like that, our fate was decided. Join us this week as we check out their album Purple and see if it satisfies Ruby's craving for early 90s grunge.

It's another contemporary challenge! We're exploring the world of Jazz this week with Michael Mayo's album, Bones. What Metal is to Ruby, Jazz is to Britney. Or in other words, this is not a genre that Britney is typically down for. So join us to find out if this album sparks an interest or if it will remain in a corner to be avoided for the rest of time.

Well we guess it would be nice to take a minute and check out the huge success that was George Michael's debut solo album Faith. We're back in the 80s this week and what better album to listen to for the best 80s experience? This album is a bit of a wild ride and we have quite a few unhinged thoughts to share!

We're headed back to 2001 to check out the world of R&B with Aaliyah's self-titled album Aaliyah. This isn't a favorite genre for Britney, but she's willing to Try Again so she doesn't Rock the Boat with Ruby's love for the genre. Join us this week to see how it turns out!

It's the best year in modern history, so we decided to go down a path we haven't explored before. Massive Attack's album, Blue Lines, is credited as being one of the first of the Trip Hop genre. We thought it was the perfect place to start when listening to an unfamiliar genre of music. So join us as we continue on this musical adventure and explore the world of Trip Hop!

This week, Ruby's album pick took us on a fun little journey through Anais Mitchell's Hadestown. Though it was a popular album in 2010, we are hearing it for the first time and have some...thoughts about it. Join us as we take a detour to this concept album that tells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Anyone that knows anything about Green Day knows that there's a constant debate on who they are as a band pre American Idiot vs. post American Idiot. Ruby and Britney are pretty strongly in the pre American Idiot camp and listen to their early work quite a bit. So join us this week as we challenge ourselves to listen to 21st Century Breakdown and decide if we were right or if we were maybe being just a smidge too judgmental.

Would we have done the 80s justice if we didn't take a minute to listen to some hard rock? Yeah, we didn't think so either. Join us this week to see if we continue to grow our love of the genre or if this German band misses the mark.

If you were here for our Genesis episode back in 1973, then you know that Ruby and Britney are big Tarzan/Phil Collins fans. This week is their first dive into his solo work along with a quick detour into some fascinating history fun facts. So join us to finally find out if we love Phil Collins or if we actually just really like the Tarzan soundtrack.
