1987-90 Veterans Committee: The Newest Nominees Kinda Suit Us, Anyway

Welcome back to another Veterans Committee episode of Hall of Songs!

In this episode, where we take a look at the last four years in our podcast timeline and pick out a couple songs to place on our ballot, we investigate whether the Grateful Dead’s biggest hit is worthy of nomination.

Spoiler: One of our co-hosts loves the Grateful Dead.

We also nominate a couple other big songs from the late 80s and very very very early 90s. Then, we go deeper into things we love about this period in time, musically.

Modern Songs Ep. 2: Hurray for the Riff Raff, Revisiting U2’s ‘Songs of Innocence’

In this episode of Modern Songs, we talk about the eco-aware “Rhododendron” by Hurray for the Riff Raff, then we remember when U2 dropped an album on all of us without asking. Specifically, we discuss the song “Sleep Like a Baby Tonight.” After that, we go through a couple tracks we’re really loving right now, by Lucy Dacus, Sabrina Carpenter, Mr. Husband, and Goose.

Modern Songs is a podcast devoted to the discovery of new music and the discussion of the greatest songs of the last 15 years.
