“The good: These guys are unabashed fans of music, and it shows. Their deep dives into artists’ catalogs and histories will give you insight into the appeal of artists with whom you’re unfamiliar, and often teach you a thing or two even about those you know well.
The bad: The occasional problem with this podcast is the problem with music criticism in general - people who aren’t accomplished rock stars telling accomplished rock stars how they should’ve gone about the business of being a rock star. Jeff and Scot come off much better as fans than as self-appointed arbiters of taste.
The ugly: If this podcast were your only window into the history of rock music, you would come away with the impression that it’s an almost-entirely white and male endeavor. Considering the source of the podcast, I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising, but there it is.”
