Joe and Steve make their way through the tumultuous discography of Bruce Springsteen in the 2010s.

Is Wrecking Ball that destructive?

Does High Hopes live up to its expectations?

And on Western Stars, Bruce asks the question no one asked: What would it sound like if a man from New Jersey wrote a western?

You should go watch The Lorax.

Vampires, the blues, and social commentary, oh my!

Liner Notes:

• Why Are the Sinners Vampires Irish?
• Spike Lee on Ryan Coogler & Why 'Sinners' is "The Greatest Experience"
• Yes, Sinners is THAT Good

Turns out, based on his 1980s discography, Joe can enjoy Bruce Springsteen.

Can Steve keep the momentum going through the tumult of the '90s as they explore Human Touch, Lucky Town, and The Ghost of Tom Joad?

Steve and Sherry—sister of Joe, new friend of the pod, and most importantly one of the few who refers to him as "Joey"—love Billy Joel.

Joe, unable to help himself, really doesn't get these rich old white men. Will he ever learn?

Did you know that Sherry is one of the foremost experts on Billy Joel's Long Island legacy?

Joe wasn't sold on Bruce Springsteen after Steve led him through the Boss's 1970s work.

Will the '80s be any different?

When Filler started, Joe and Steve made a pact: Steve would give blink-182 a shot and Joe would truly try to get into Bruce Springsteen.

Steve loves Bruce.

Joe loves The Gaslight Anthem. What's he missing?
