Last week, we rolled the dice, and now we're stepping back into August 1965, where we build our playlist from the Billboard Top 100 of that month!

Join us as we groove through a playlist that shaped a generation, with hits like "Eve of Destruction" and "Like a Rolling Stone." We chat about how these tunes responded to the 60s and why they still hit hard today—whether it's still a bop, or helped shape decades to come.

Ever wonder how The Kinks' distortion led to punk rock, or how Tom Jones kept his female partners happy? We’ve got you with insights, hot takes and some questionable opinions. From Motown magic to folk legends, we explore how music was the ultimate protest tool and why it’s still relevant today.
