Song Vs. Song

We're keeping it real in the 2000s and we're not letting our fame and success change us.

Here we go! We're cold kickin' it live with some '80s hip-hop, and I think it's very vital that we decide who's the best at rockin' the mic! Does Run-DMC show us that "It's Tricky"? Or are rockin' this party eight days a week with the Beastie Boys' "No Sleep Till Brooklyn"?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oh, it's one of those episodes! In the early '00s two mega-popular bands were derided as the worst bands alive, but are Todd and Lina going to keep beating that dead horse? We argue what's the best buttrock song, Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" or Nickelback's "How You Remind Me"!

She's a brick.... freak. She's super freaky!

OUR ONE HUNDREDTH NUMBERED EPISODE!! How have we gotten this far? We don't know, but we're going to celebrate it with a jumbo-sized podcast about two songs that are near and dear to our hearts, the alternative teen angst songs that changed the lives of so many '90s kids, especially us. What is the great alt-rock game-changer of the decade, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana or "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Literally the only reason for this Grammy ceremony to exist was to finally give Beyonce one of the big awards, and they screwed it up again! It's the Grammys, everyone! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The great new wave pioneers of 1980! The unexpected crossover smash hits that proved that the record buyers of the '80s might like this "synth-pop" thing!

I've been working so hard, and when there's nothing but a slow aching pain, sometimes you just gotta DANCE!

It's time to swing from something suspended on a chain!
