Chicago's own Idiots are on the air! Funnier than compost!Intro/outro music "Superhuman" courtesy of Late Night Bull Fight, used by permission.

    Lilith Fair

  2. 41

    AC/DC

    Belly up with the Idiots as we debate the ultimate Dad rock band. Safe enough for backyard barbecues, edgy enough to mash the gas pedal and get those tires on the family truckster smokin'!

  3. 40

    Nirvana - Soundgarden

    Grunge is grungy. We are grungy. Ergo, we are grunge. Pssh, that's bullshit philosophical claptrap, but this episode isn't. Hear the Idiots litigate two early 90's era powerhouse bands.

  4. 39

    Grateful Dead

    Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home. Need we say more?

  11. 32

    Guns N' Roses

    Do you know what the pathology of a late 80's teenager sounds like? This band's freshman effort pretty well spells it out. Hear the Idiots dissect this iconic album and uncover the rest of their catalog.

    Aerosmith

    Is it possible to enjoy a 48 year career in music while taking laps in a swimming pool full of coke? These guys have. And all thanks to Joe Perry's incredible guitar skills.

  14. 29

    Foo Fighters

    Join the idiots as they trundle through another 90s band with a verified icon at the helm. Is Dave Grohl a more evolved human? Is this band talented? Have they evolved over time? Tune in!

  15. 28

    Sticking it to the Man

    Corporate America does one thing really well, and that's protecting their profits. So while they fight with us on our use of 3rd Party Content, we figured we would keep producing shows under a new feed to avoid losing our old one until it's resolved. Keep following this link as we'll hopefully come back to it, but in the meantime, please follow "21 Idiots and a List" too. New episodes coming there soon!

  16. 27

    Muse

    Tired of getting caught under the treads of capitalism? Ready to join the revolution?? Feel like throwing your fist in the air and tearing down the system??? This band might just be for you...

  17. 26

  18. 25

    Hairy Christmas!

  21. 22

    Fleetwood Mac

  23. 20

    The Police

  24. 19

    R.E.M.

    Join the Idiots as they mull over the "only" important band to call Athens, Georgia home.

  25. 18

    The Smashing Pumpkins

    Sometime in the late 80's an alien landed on earth, picked up a Stratocaster and started creating some unique music for a generation. Why he took it out on squash is a question we don't address.

  26. 17

    The Cars

    What do you get when you pair a groundbreaking sound with a voice that can shatter glass? Magic!

  27. 16

  28. 15

    Boston - Foreigner - REO Speedwagon

    Ring in the holidays with a triple play of yacht rock.  How these bands found their names, what your record company does when you're late putting out albums, and does anyone quote Kurt Loder?  You'll sing along with your upturned fist in front of you.

  29. 14

    Pearl Jam

    The Idiots wax poetic on this seminal grunge band from their salad days of college.  Hear how Pearl Jam avoided Ticketmaster, who the hell is Mookie Blaylock, and did you want to be Ponch or John from CHiPs?

  30. 13

    Led Zeppelin

    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind, and it leads not to heaven but to a couple of Idiots. Hear about copycat lawsuits, Robert Plant's magic appendage, and how much alcohol is reasonable for breakfast.

  31. 12

    Pink Floyd

    No education or thought control needed, and you can nix that dark sarcasm in class as well.  Take a dive with the Idiots as they burrow into the band you listened to while cleaning your pot.

  35. 8

    The Doors

    There are things known and things unknown, and in between are The Doors -- and a couple of Idiots.  In this episode, the lads debate whether the Doors are a jam band, why Morrison is so damned attractive to twenty somethings, and timing a song's apex with your own.

  36. 7

    Hall and Oates

    You're out of touch, I'm out of time.  But we're out of our heads if you don't hear what the Idiots have to say about this pop duo from Philly.
