The Bee Gees had one of the most unpredictable and astounding career arcs in music history. Who knew that 3 teenage brothers picking up guitars in Australia would own Swinging London within a few years., or that they would go on to have success that dwarfs their initial run when the world caught disco fever, and they were right at the pinnacle of it. Their story needs to be told in 2 parts, and that's what ATTT is all about this week. Here in Point/Counterpoint: Early Bee Gees vs Disco Era Bee Gees, we've enlisted the current world's biggest Bee Gees fan, the Gibb-obsessed Shannon Hurley. Here in part 1, Ben makes the case for the early period, with 5 representative bangers in picks 10-6. Shannon Hurley is in FULL ON painting mode these days.

The dirtiest four letter word is A.I. The moment the robots take over the world, we die. We die. For this reason and many others we're ready to Melt The Bots with the second half of our list in Top Ten Songs Against A.I. Part 2. Joe Lavelle came through for us in style, as he helped us put together a playlist befitting our current situation, with songs that question and resist an uncertain future, and songs that value humanity over machinery. We deserve a voice in whether or not this "world-changing" technology is all they say it is, and by "they", we mean the people with the money. For a hundred reasons, we're against it, and we have the songs to back us up.If you missed Part 1, start here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-717-top-ten-songs-against-a-i-part-1-w-joe-lavelle/id573735994?i=1000762382186Do yourself a favor and take in the official Top Ten Songs Against A.I. playlist, featuring every song heard in Parts 1 & 2:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3FQjX5zA7X9QCPCQsaexFm?si=bab9644a12b3440cWe've lowered our prices, but not our standards over at the ATTT Patreon!

We're not all cyborgs yet! ATTT is in total lockstep with our good friend Joe Lavelle on the subject of a.i. - we hate it. We hate that it's being foisted on us, doing lasting damage in multiple ways, and we hate that for many, it's a shortcut to thinking - a way to delegate all thought to a bot. We'd rather be writing our own blurbs about this brand new episode, thank you very much. Top Ten Songs AGAINST A.I. is a bit high-concepty, but the basic jist is that these are songs about being wary of and resisting an upredictable and scary future, while also featuring songs that emphasize humanity over machinery.

If you're lucky enough to get old, think of all you've gained. First off, you're alive, which is better than the alternative 100% of the time. Secondly, you can use all of the wisdom and knowledge you've collected over a lifetime of experiences, and you can use it to find ways for you and others around you to be happy. In this already ridiculous year of 2026, we're working hard to stay positive, and music is almost always the key.

Now that we've seen it, we can confirm there are cool things to do and cool people to hang out with in the upside down part of the world. For example, if one were to jump on an airplane and fly 15 hours from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia and spend a week hanging out with Love That Album and See Hear podcast host/producer Maurice Bursztynski and his lovely family, one would come away with a memorable experience they won't soon forget. We're here to share a small part of that experience in the form of our latest pod - Top Ten Essential Power Pop Bands Volume 2, in which Maurice helped us count down another batch of amazing bands that are steeped in that hook-laden, heart-on-sleeve power pop tradition, with more all-time legends and a couple of hidden gems we think everyone should know about.

Back in the before times, aka 2014, one of our favorite recurring guests got it in his head that ATTT needed to be paying attention to all the great new music being made by making an annual 'songs of the year' episode happen. Daskal also said that we needed to include the delightful Shannon Hurley and in the process the three of us will get to at least attempt to keep up with what's going on in music. 11 years later we're mighty glad we took that advice and now it has become the episode event of the year for us. We hope you all enjoy this playlist of current musical excellence.

Look, it's really simple. The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame hates and disrespects heavy metal. We don't. We believe that metal is one of the cornerstones in the history of rock n roll and we also need to point out the fact that it's one of the most globally-beloved genres of music. We think it's a crime that the bands highlighted in this week's playlist have been snubbed by the bluenoses and weenies that run the rock hall. Get them in! Listen to us state our cases for some obviously unjustly snubbed metal bands in Top Ten Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame Snubs: All Metal Edition Part 2, featuring our metal-loving pal Nick Baker.

A full-throated and totally sincere congratulations to the 2025 inductees into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. Great job not being in the heavy metal genre! Let's face it, the rock hall hates metal, and always has. It took some serious teeth-pulling to even get a few metal bands in the hall, and even though heavy metal is truly a cornerstone in rock n roll history, the powers that be treat it like the black sheep of the family. Get it together, rock hall! Dr. Nick Baker returns for the 3rd volume in our totally justifiable recurring series Top Ten Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame Snubs, this time with a twist. We're calling out the hall for their lack of diversity, in particular their exclusion of heavy metal. Here in Top Ten Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame Snubs - All Metal Edition Part 1, we get into the top half of our list of truly deserving honorees. Here's some metal up your ass, rock hall!Get "Labyrinthine Rose", the latest album from pop sensation Marina V, aka Nick's better half and musical partner. Great new stuff from these guys!

The lying liars that tell lies for fun and profit are really puffed out and feeling good about their life choices in 2025. Hopefully their lies won't stop the pendulum from swinging back in their faces. Thanks to social media and the ever-expansive list of people willing to be lied to, liars are having such a moment that it got us thinking it was a good time to give them their own episode. The great Gabe Scalone is back for Top Ten Songs About Liars Part 2 where we guilelessly reveal picks 5-1. If you missed Part 1, you don't have to lie and say you didn't.

If there was any justice in the world it would be physically painful to lie. Lying lies and the lying liars that tell them are destroying our society in an accelerated fashion thanks to social media and an ever willing-to-be-lied-to populace. It's bad, people. We've got liars stuck in our craw over here at ATTT HQ and we figured since this is their moment, we should give the liars their due with episode dedicated directly to them. Top Ten Songs About Liars Part 1 starts us off on our journey through the bullshit, and thankfully we have our favorite bullshit detector and good friend Gabe Scalone on hand to help us out.

Is this an appropriate time to talk about censorship? How about freedom of speech? How about the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Of America? We didn't plan it this way but history is rhyming in a big way right now, so we're actually glad to be taking a narrow-eyed look back at the past. 40 years ago this month Washington was abuzz with pending legislation to make laws determining some music obscene and ripe for censorship. Tipper Gore and her Parents Music Resource Center had the government all up in your business in 1985, and thankfully three REAL free speech warriors - Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, Frank Zappa and the unlikeliest of heroes, our man John Denver told Congress TO THEIR FACES to back off. Tipper's crusade against arbitrarily-deemed "filth" yielded ATTT a project. The so-called "Filthy Fifteen" is a list that's ripe for review, and the ATTT All-Stars are more than up for the task of ranking these songs using our patent-pending Worst To First format. Picks 7-1 are featured here in Part 2. If you missed Part 1 and the, uh, "worst" part of the list in picks 15-8, listen up here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-686-tipper-gores-filthy-fifteen-worst-to-first/id573735994?i=1000726746433LIsten up and listen well to the official Tipper Gore's "Filthy Fifteen" Worst To First playlist, featuring all (available) songs heard in Parts 1 & 2:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3dcC3hNJMhA4U5DQheUPws?si=dcca6c2e382843bdIf you haven't watched them, do yourself a favor and check out Frank, Dee and John's testimony from 1985:Frank - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgAF8Vu8G0w&t=126sDee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vyr1TylTEJohn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH0hYabzudkOur All-Stars are always up to stuff.

40 years ago this week our nation was under assault by forces of evil. These forces were conspiring to control artists and take away Americans' constitutionally-guaranteed rights to freedom of expression. In the halls of the United States Senate, three righteous warriors - Frank Zappa, Dee Snider and John Denver - stood up for artists and free speech by directly confronting the evil in power. The evil in power were the so-called "Washington Wives" - spouses to powerful Senators that were weighing a bipartisan violation of the first amendment to the constitution. The head of this clan otherwise known as the PMRC, or the Parents Music Resource Center, was the dreaded Tipper Gore. In the name of "protecting children" Tipper and her friends aimed for censorship. In the process, they gave us a weird but fascinating playlist they dubbed "The Filthy Fifteen" - fifteen songs they deemed to be obscene. This playlist is worth another look, and ATTT has decided to enlist our friends the ATTT All-Stars to give it our patented Worst To First treatment. Shannon Hurley, Gabe Scalone, Joe Lavelle, Matt Dinan and David Daskal were on hand to rank these songs and wax poetic about what a fucked up time the Reagan years were. Picks 15-8 are featured here in Part 1.If you haven't watched them, do yourself a favor and check out Frank, Dee and John's testimony from 1985:Frank - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgAF8Vu8G0w&t=126sDee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vyr1TylTE John - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH0hYabzudkOur All-Stars are always up to stuff.

It can be done! With the help of our good friends Chris Van Gompel, DJ Hostettler and Dixie Jacobs, we actually succeeded in "Separating The Art" from some of our favorite artists who for whatever reason are total jerks, creepers or worse, but we can still enjoy their music, if we work at it. Picks 5-1 are featured here, with some truly bad behavior being overcome by great art. If you missed all the tomfoolery we got up to in Part 1,, including picks 10-6, go back:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-684-top-ten-separate-the-art-artists-part-1-w/id573735994?i=1000724375462Please be enjoying the official Top Ten "Separate The Art" Artists playlist, featuring 15 out of the 17 songs heard in Parts 1 & 2:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6DFMZPwUP36SAtNPQr7nog?si=8a13fc2d89764cf3These guys are always busy with the rocking out and such.

Can we actually separate the art from the artist? Well, if you're willing to contort yourself around some pretty terrible behavior, the art you are separating from the artists involved better be worth it. Only the best of the best can get away with being the worst of the worst and have us still wanting to enjoy their art. From bleak to dark, this list and the stories involved might make the squeamish squeam - fair warning! Who else to help us navigate these treacherous waters than our old dear friends from Milwaukee, Chris Van Gompel, DJ Hostettler and Dixie Jacobs. Here in Top Ten "Separate The Art" Artists Part 1, we discuss Picks 10-6 of this problematic cast of characters, but we also get to rock out with some of their amazing creations.These guys are always busy with the rocking out and such.
