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.
