    We're into the 100s, and we just finished another block of 10! That nice round number means that the time has come once again for us to review and re-rank the last 10 albums.

Excellent!

Just Two Friends (and their guests) discussing and reviewing the Rolling Stone Top 500 albums of all time. I really like the thought provoking discussions that come from digging up the details and context of the albums and comparing that message to today!

i listen for the accents

awesome!! go Ben and Mike!

mkcheshire ,

great duo

As a person in my sixties I could never see what was so great about Bob Dylan. Geez it took me a few minutes just to remember his name. I think Rubber Soul and Revolver where my favorite albums of the time because they stepped out of the teeniebopper sound. Electric keyboards were a new thing and they widened the aural plane. Edit. I went back and listened to highway 61 while reading the lyrics. It made more sense when I knew what he was singing. A weakness of mine has always been putting the musicality first and adding the words later. Bob writes great lyrics. My only problem is this is one podcast that won't download to my device. Always get an error message.
