Musical Shenanigans
by Cory, Dave, & Scott (feat. yer mom)
Musical Shenanigans is a podcast about Rolling Stone’s ranking of the Top 500 Albums of All Time. But it is absolutely not what you think. Yes, we talk about the albums. But we do things a little differently around here. We choose two albums at random, put them in a cage together, and let them fight it out to determine which one is better. Each match is part of a March Madness-style Playoff Bracket, with the goal of determining, for ourselves, the best album of all time, based on our limited knowledge, lack of credibility, and non-existent credentials. We also discuss current music-related news and other topics, come up with really stupid quizzes. And sometimes, if we are feeling saucy, we may give you a song, fake commercial, or some other such nonsense. Please invite Cory, Dave, and Scott (alphabetically by height) into your ears for a whole new way of ranking albums.

Listening Party: Rubber Soul
We're officially in the back nine of our Elite Eight round ... OK, that doesn't sound quite right. Let's try that again: we did four already but now we're steady and then they went one-two-three-Rubber Soul. Nope, still doesn't work. OK fine, let's just cut to the point. We're listening to Rubber...

Listening Party: Rumours
We originally recorded this on Mother's Day, but we were bound and determined to get it out by Father's Day. Our Elite Eight Listening Parties continue - this time featuring Fleetwood Mac's 1977 classic Rumours: a therapy session masking as an album. Rumours takes on the album from our last...

Centerpiece #2 - Our Dinner With Ye
Greetings all, This harkens back to the year 2022 - a full lifetime ago. The centerpiece comes from our most downloaded show called "Dinner Theater" and the presumption is that it is due to this bit.

Listening Party: Houses of the Holy
The Elite Eight continues!

Listening Party: Led Zeppelin I
Look, we know that 2025 wasn't our finest moment. Among all the other dumpster fires last year, we had our least productive year ever - releasing just two regular episodes the entire year, plus whatever the hell that Christmas thing was. But this year, we're turning over a new leaf - giving you…
