  • They don’t play the song

    How stupid they spend a half hour or so talking about the song, not bad. Then THEY DON’T even play the song. Awful.

  • No point, just all over random talking

    Been looking for good music and song podcast…this is not one. Just random talking, no format, just non interesting dribble.

  • Wanted to love this

    Couldn’t make it through the 3rd episode. I was expecting to come away having learned about the history of the songs instead I got opinions and feelings. Not much to recommend here, it’s a real lost opportunity.

  • Waste of time if you actually want to hear about the SONG

    I never write reviews but this podcast needs help. I expected to hear facts/history/lore about the songwriting and the artist but it was nearly all the podcasters opinions and impressions about the song and artist. In the “Into the Groove” episode they kept referring to how Madonna wrote the song about a hot Latino neighbor. But they never told the story. Hello, can the listeners get the story? That’s what I expected to hear, not them more

  • I listened to the first two episodes and had the same criticism of both. I love the idea for the podcast, especially a deep-dive into how music critics view different songs and their justification for being placed on the list. The hosts are great and I love the inclusion of a third guest to provide greater insight, but the overall structure just does not hit right for me. There are a few glaring issues that make it difficult to listen to in the long run for me though. more
