What really goes behind making an album? Does all of the magic belong to the artist? Absolutely not. In this episode, Matt and Jim explore the few producers who are behind some of the biggest albums recorded in the past 50 years. They discuss style and sound. Names like Quincy Jones, Rick Rubin and Mutt Lange are closely related to Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, Shania Twain, Def Leppard and so many more. Come listen as the guys discuss producers crossing genres from rap to country and metal to pop as they attempt to create the legacy sound that the fans will always recognize.

The days are getting shorter as stick season approaches, but there are still a lot of great albums celebrating anniversaries in October for Matt and Jim to discuss. They revisit well-known classics along with a few surprises chosen for the show by the audience. Billy Joel's sun is setting on the horizon, Tom Petty is hitting his stride, and U2 is a step away from worldwide domination. Matt brings a childhood favorite as his pick for the month. Jim gets philosophical about the bond music can create between friends and how the best memories can give us the music we will always go back to first. There's a little rule bending as they go along, but isn't that what rules are made for?

When an artist achieves the number one position on the charts, it can be the pinnacle of their career. But is every number one deserving of that sacred chart position? Or are some songs on the charts for so long, they overstay their welcome. Matt and Jim polled the audience to see what they thought were the least deserving number one songs of all time and the choices were surprising. From Elton John to Starship to the Black Eyed Peas, the Matt and Jim go through each song and share their own verdict. It's not pretty, but it's pretty funny.
