That's fine. Just pretend it's a drinking game. An algorithm randomly assigns the band Mark & Tyler destroy in every episode. Start on one everybody knows is trash, like The Beatles. But soon you'll realize culture is a pyramid scheme and your favorite band is just the soundtrack to a fake vintage t-shirt. (Get Ad-Free Episodes Here: https://anchor.fm/yfbspod/subscribe)

Genuinely love the show, missing the content a lot this year, long time fan and I do a lot of driving for work and family so these episodes are really loved and appreciated. The fact the show has gone this long and people STILL don’t get the joke makes it that much funnier, would love to see more current bands!
This podcast does a fantastic job of both rightfully (and at times hyperbolically) barbecuing some of music’s most sacred cows, while also offering a pretty incisive satire of music criticism in general. I think the satire in this show is missed by a lot of the people who are giving negative reviews, that really only becomes apparent after hearing several episodes when they start purposefully contradicting themselves about what the good bands of a specific era are. (Ex. In the Slayer episode, they tell everyone to listen to Metallica, but in the Metallica episode, they tell everyone to listen to Slayer.) Even though Tyler and Mark present themselves as arrogant know-it-alls, ironically, I would say that the main lesson to take away from this show is that nobody should be on their high horse about their music tastes. No artist is beyond criticism. If your favorite band is Aerosmith, you have no business talking down to someone whose favorite band is Limp Bizkit. If you are secure in your music tastes and can take what they say with a grain of salt, there’s a lot of humor and insight to be found in this show. Some of my favorite episodes have been about bands that I absolutely love.
Pretty entertaining to listen to these guys lay into a bunch of popular artists! It becomes pretty obvious pretty quick that this isn't like industry professionals discussing bands and the music; it's clear they don't do a big "deep dive" on research and true intellect and thought for each episode. It's certainly not a podcast for those looking for real discourse and discussion regarding the actually music and everything behind it. And sometimes they seem to be like really offended by the people they are discussing, which is entertaining in itself! I've been forwarding to friends that I think it will elicit a reaction for. Recommended strictly for fun!
These dudes are acting like George Washington, telling no lies. The people dragging this show are probably missing the point. Yes, they’re being serious and yes, they’re joking. I don’t always agree but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Tyler’s music knowledge is absolutely insane and his recommendations are always spot-on 10/10. Mfer has exceptional taste and people should be taking notes when he starts riffing on better bands/artists. The Billy Joel and Fleetwood Mac episodes are absolutely savage takedowns and, again, are telling no lies. Should be mandatory listening in music composition classes.
I love so many of the artists these two trash, but I realize this is satire. Of course, there’s valid criticism they make against these bands, but a lot of the criticism is supposed to be exaggerated and ridiculous. It’s all in good fun.
I think they make some good points when they critique artists and their actions, even toxic fan behavior. But they call people who like an artists music idiots. People like what they like and who are they to judge?
