This show further perpetuates the fact that any moron with a microphone, and the intellect of a toddler can host a podcast. There is so much potential that is unfortunately and completely wasted with the nonsensical diarrhea spewing from his mouth. I want to like it but I can’t.

If you’re an actual fan of music and these albums this is NOT your podcast. If you want to hear some clueless clown talk more about himself than the music all while brown nosing/pandering to his guests then you’re at the right place. Great concept, but very poorly executed.

This a great excuse to listen to the best music of all time, many of which I would have never otherwise listened to. But besides that, Josh is an amazingly funny host with some of the best interview questions I’ve heard! Ps- I found this when Josh was a guest of the Bertcast. SO HAPPY I found this!

Jeez this guy's voice is just painful to listen to, as gravelly as a sandbar in the Snake River. I had to pop a lozenge to soothe my own throat because this guys voice/throat is SO BAD! A 100 cigarettes and a full bottle of whiskey a day for the last 10 years must have done this damage...Read full review »

I tried so hard to get into this. It’s a great idea and I was really hoping to expand my appreciation of some of these albums that I’ve never really connected with before. But that would require some well researched background on the music in question, plus some insightful music analysis, and...Read full review »

I listened to the Aerosmith-Toys in the Attic episode…wow, it was bad. They barely talk about the album and the co-host knows virtually nothing about the band or the album; he admits multiple times that he’s just reading off of notes from a producer. If you’d like proof that basically anyone can...Read full review »

Almost as good as listening to your hot girlfriend try to convince you she knows football because she was a cheerleader in high school. Great concept should’ve handed it off to someone with roots, knowledge and passion about music.

Always a good listen with a solid lineup of guests. Keep up the good work. But please stop the background music while you’re talking.

Backinthe573 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/24
Shows vary depending on the guest. Some guests are on point & dig deep into the album, which is enjoyable. Most guests, however, get sidetracked by Josh on unrelated topics & you're lucky to get 15 minutes of album info out of a 90 minute podcast.Read full review »

Very, very good stuff. JAM is the man.
Nick Bastian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/23
I always wanted to listen to every album on the RS500 list. Each week I look forward to the album and then JAM breaking it down. It’s informal, fun. Stay fleecy

Listening to the Station To Station episode with Gavin Rossdale, because I love that record. 40 minutes in and they’ve barely talked about Bowie, still less the record. Rossdale seems a nice enough guy, but it should be marketed as a pod about him, not the Bowie record.
The Gowsh via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/22/23
The show USED to be a decent discussion of the album but has turned into Josh having a vaguely album related chat with a guest. Josh is just mailing it in at this point. His “scat” singing gets on your nerves quickly. His fragile ego and insecurity are on display every episode. Not a good music...Read full review »

The best 4 legged podcast host in the game. I’m glad JAM seems to be coming out of his “I’m going to quit” funk. A string of great guests and the albums are only going to get better from here on out. Keep on skadoodlin’
Bunnybear1327 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/23
The kind of self-indulgent name dropping that makes you regret the whole idea of podcasts.
toddwriter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
This is a super entertaining show with absolute pros! I truly enjoy every episode and the diversity of the guests. 👏🏻 👏🏻

Guys - the Arctic Monkeys have nothing to do with London, they are from Sheffield and very proud of it.

Love this podcast informative , entertaining and great guests!!
dawit taye 1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/23
Really informative, learned a lot about The Beach Boys catalogue and Sam Cooke’s live album is one of the best I’ve ever heard, thanks for doing this
philafann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/23
I’ve enjoyed seeing Meyers at the Comedy Store. Listening to him and his guests explore the catalog of great music albums is a weekly addition to my morning runs.
Nole-Bo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/23
Started out as a pretty fun and entertaining podcast. New format is not about the music and has become a Jimmy josh complaint fest. It was a great podcast, bring back the album analysis.
tmlarso via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
amazing to listen to Ron Bennington talk about anything

JAM the man baby

Came over from Himbos. So stoked for this podcast. Starting with Dave Davies!
Camdogsmitty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/22
The best episodes are when the guest LOVES the album and is a total nerd about it. Loni Love on Al Green is incredible.
Dave6480 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/22
Been listening to this show for over 3 years and have loved every minute of it. We all get stuck listening to the same music we loved in High School. This show is a great way to experience different types of music and artists. This is not a music history show. It is more like a book club, the...Read full review »

Hey, not all podcasts are by “experts” which makes this likeable I don’t always need an expert know it all Plus, guests are fans so you get an everyman’s point of view I’m looking forward to hearing more Plus, there’s humor, and nothin’ wrong with that
rubbergarden via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/22
The four-legged comedy legend & music genius is always a fantastic listen
jaashol via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/22
Josh is hella funny and if you like music this is the podcast for you.
J1ape via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/22
I like the concept, the format, and the guests are great, but the only drawback is the host. He’s extremely annoying and knows nothing musically outside of G n’ R and Radiohead. I really want to like it, but I can’t.
Doubledipped via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/22
Hearing the host drop a truckload of cliche about Jeff Buckley tells me everything I need to know about this series. There are so many better discussions out there. The Incubus singer was informed, but he’s talking w a c-level marc maron…

Awful.
SpongeBobbyHil589 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/22
Exactly that. The topics are epic. The guests are rad. The host is the absolute worst. He has quite the musical superiority complex and interrupts with absolute gibberish and the dumbest comments you could imagine. And that voice. I get it, you snorted and smoked everything in sight. Please just...Read full review »

Just slogged through the Jane’s Addiction episode. Josh and Matt mention the album but keep referencing “Been Caught Stealing” a handful of times?! That’s not a song from Nothing Shocking! They didn’t do a breakdown of the tracks but kept going on about their misadventures surrounding the late...Read full review »

By the way Jerry Cantrell wrote the lyrics not Layne for Alice In Chains.

I actually really loved the Arctic Monkeys episode with Dan Soder, I’m surprised that’s the episode that people didn’t like.

My noodle. Great podcast!
Tatpunt13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/22
I’ve been listening to this The 500 podcast for the past 3 years+ now. I caught up on all the podcasts from 500 down to 332. Josh and his crew make this podcast fun with great comedic, music, TV and movie stars. Josh brings the unique perspective with comedy and his knowledge of music, along...Read full review »

Big music fan and I love the way this show is framed. The fact that JAM digs into many albums he’s unfamiliar with makes it so interesting. Learning in real time is quite a challenge and he does it well. I find myself even listening to some of these albums that I truly despise. Many thanks...Read full review »

You’d have a harder time finding a more brain-dead bro-down.
weeded out via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/22
Last few recent podcasts with big guests (!!) are interesting, but have listened to two: David Duchovny and Stop Making Sense (forgot guest) where virtually no music from album was played. Confused, thought that was 50% of the show, guest interview being the other 50%. Also confused by more...Read full review »

Keep up the good work, this is a great show to learn more about music
gordoraviol via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/22
Josh is a great host and passionate about music. Plain n simple. It’s a great meditation to put the focus on what Rolling Stones considers the 500 most important albums of all time and contextualize those works through the intersections of our current daily lives. The show works it’s best...Read full review »
