Musical Shenanigans
Musical Shenanigans is a podcast about Rolling Stone’s ranking of the Top 500 Albums of All Time. But it is absolutely not what you think. Yes, we talk about the albums. But we do things a little differently around here. We choose two albums at random, put them in a cage together, and let them fight it out to determine which one is better. Each match is part of a March Madness-style Playoff Bracket, with the goal of determining, for ourselves, the best album of all time, based on our limited knowledge, lack of credibility, and non-existent credentials. We also discuss current music-related news and other topics, come up with really stupid quizzes. And sometimes, if we are feeling saucy, we may give you a song, fake commercial, or some other such nonsense. Please invite Cory, Dave, and Scott (alphabetically by height) into your ears for a whole new way of ranking albums.
