Musical Shenanigans - The Podcast
Welcome to the show.
We are the little podcast that has taken on the Rolling Stone Top 500 Alums of all time, picked 192 of the albums at random (roughly 39% of the total albums) and then randonly pit those albums against each other. We do not mention the rankings ahead of time (but you are more than welcome to go to the Rolling Stone site and look them up yourself), as we have matchups that are sometimes hundreds of albums apart in the list.
In each show, we take on two rounds, discuss the albums and their content to a greater or lesser degree - depending on how it may have agreed with us or not - and then vote on who we think has the better album. Do we align with Rolling Stone? Well, tune in and find out!!
Below is the listing of all shows, a link to each show, and a link to each blog entry related to the show (where applicable). The newest shows are at the top. Click here to email us and get updates when new shows or posts come out!
