In this episode, Rich and Clint ask the age old question that every generation asks...what's up with the music today? And was it better "back in the day?" With the help of Brian and Greg from The Sweet Remains, Josh Panda and Jeff Symonds, the guys take an earnest look at whether it's possible to answer that question objectively. If you can make a case for the fact that music WAS better, how and why would that be?
