We start winding down this year, with an update to the list that served as the inspiration to this podcast, WAXQ-FM NYs, Top 1,043 Greatest Classic Rock Songs of All Time.  Did we effect any change?  Did the programmers at The Q, just shuffle some songs around to make us believe that a real vote had taken place?

Q104.3’s Top 1,043 - 2020 Edition

Our friends at Rolling Stone Magazine have come out with a new version of their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.  Since they mentioned the name of our show in their article, we thought it was only fitting that we had a discussion about it.

Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time

To honor the passing of guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen, we take on UDiscover Music’s list of the best guitarists of all time.  We assume they mean rock… and they also make a ton of other “assumptions.”

NJ.com’s 20 Best Taylor Ham Sandwiches

Radio stations like to run “Of All Time” and “Best Of” countdowns on long holiday weekends and it appears that the kids at Sirus/XMs Classic Vinyl channel decided to the same.  On Labor Day weekend in 2020, they ran a list of “The Top 50 Albums Turning 50” - so basically we got a list of supposedly 50 great rock albums released in 1970.   Or did we?  Mike and Robert debate that and Jimmy Page may have done it again...

Billboard Magazine’s Top 100 Music Video Artists of All Time

We end the month of August with a dig at a NJ radio station, that as you will hear - clearly did not do their homework.  Mike and Robert love it when any attention is paid to the Garden State, but one would think that a local radio station would have tried harder.

NJ 101.5’s Top 10 Singers from Jersey

Once again, we turn our ire at Paste Magazine for phoning in another list that is all over the place.  Paste Magazine called it the 50 Best Southern Rock Albums of All Time and when you listen, you’ll see why that was just a lie.

Historien Upprepar Sig

People have been making lists and ranking things since the beginning of time. Some of those lists are solid and some are utter BS. 

Hosts Michael Mariniello and Robert Mathers investigate and debate whether these lists are actually voted on by everyday people, or were picked by a lonely writer on deadline, a radio programmer faking his way to higher ratings, or an evil cabal that makes millions every time the song Stairway to Heaven tops a chart.
