The greatest songs ever. The podcast.
Hall of Songs arrives at the latest Veterans Committee episode, in which Tim and Chris discuss songs from the previous four years of investigation, in this case 1995-98. They nominate four songs from that period for Hall of Songs consideration.
And they also talk about Phish.
Look, it’s one of Chris’ favorite bands. And it’s Tim’s least favorite anything. But they talk about ’em. And then Tim flips the script and talks about an artist he loved for years. It’s fun, trust us.
It’s a big year in music. 1991 starts with Whitney Houston’s memorable interpretation of “The Star Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl XXV. It continues with massive changes in the Billboard charts thanks to SoundScan, then ends with a sound heavy in guitar distortion.
Listen to our newest episode to find out our top-12 songs of the year. We talk about the mainstream emergence of grunge, the progression of house-inflected dance music, and the next batch of great songs in rap.
