I have since adjusted my schedule to 2-3 days a week (with the occasional bonus episode). I also used to always have five songs in each episode (hence the "five" portion of the title), but nowadays it is sometimes... more

  • You didn’t know you loved music until now

    Finally, a top 500 ranking of songs by an eye doctor! I don’t know why it took so long for the universe to give us this list but it’s here and it is glorious.

    Dr. May blends history, opinion and sound samples smoother than a Jamba Juice smoothie.

    If you have ever heard a song on the radio and wondered where it would rank in the top 500 songs of all time then your wait is finally over.

    This is truly a delight to listen to and to learn from.

  • Fun and quick look into some truly great songs

    Have been listening since not long after this podcast came out. I am always interested to hear what songs and music people love, and this is a cool quick way to get walked through this host’s musical taste. I’m sure my personal song choices will differ, but he is covering a lot of genres and even showing me songs I don’t know or have forgotten about.

  • Good variety of music

    I love how carefully chosen these songs are and especially as it’s unbiased towards one genre. May not be my favorite 500 songs but it illuminates me to bands and songs I need to listen to. If you love music - you’ll love the podcast!
