Truly unenjoyable. A couple of kids sitting around wondering why the great artists of the rock age are honored by one of the most revereed rock mags, sharing their personal opinions without any knowledge. I dislike podcasts that didn't play the 4 min songs they spend 45 min blabbing about. Rolling Stone could do much better.

Description

This exclusive podcast from Rolling Stone tells the stories behind the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time." Hosts Brittany Spanos and Rob Sheffield dissect Rolling Stone's iconic list and explore the magic and mythology behind the songs on this in-depth new series. From classics like Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” to The Ronettes' “Be My Baby,” and modern-era hits like The Killers' “Mr. Brightside,” and Britney Spears' “...Baby One More Time," we talk to artists and insiders about what makes these the greatest songs of all time.
