Craig and Kevin head into 1983 this week, spotlighting two albums that hit very different corners of the rock spectrum.

Kevin kicks things off with Fastway’s self-titled debut, a hard-hitting blend of bluesy riffs and arena-ready energy that helped define early ‘80s hard rock. Craig follows with Killing Joke’s Fire Dances, a darker, atmospheric release that leans into post-punk textures while still packing serious punch.

From there, Kevin takes control with a special Either/Or: Power Ballad Edition, throwing out a lineup of emotional heavyweights and forcing Craig to make the call — one matchup at a time until a final winner emerges.

To close things out, the guys shift into a laid-back but thought-provoking discussion sparked by a recent hang at some Atlanta breweries:

• Are the ‘90s making a comeback?
• Why are some major artists from the past getting overlooked today?

From hard rock to post-punk to power ballads and music culture — this episode covers a wide range of sounds and perspectives.

This week, Craig and Kevin turn their attention to 1975, digging into two albums that deserve far more love in the larger music conversation.

Craig shines a light on Burning Spear’s Marcus Garvey, a towering reggae statement packed with spiritual weight, political urgency, and some of the most powerful roots grooves of the decade. Kevin counters with Ted Lucas’ self-titled album, a beautifully understated blend of folk, psych, blues, and soul that feels like a hidden treasure waiting to be rediscovered.

From there, Craig puts Kevin in the hot seat with a fresh round of Dig It or Dump It, tossing out a mix of artists, music styles, and wild-card picks to see what lands — and what gets tossed aside.

To close things out, the guys wrap with Either/Or, bringing 10 selections each and forcing the other to make the call. As always, the choices come quick, the reactions come honest, and a few tough decisions make for some great debate.

From roots reggae to lost folk gems to rapid-fire music picks, this episode covers a lot of ground.

Craig and Kevin switch things up this week, diving straight into their albums of the week, spotlighting the year 1967 — one of the most transformative years in music history.

Craig kicks things off with Magic Sam’s West Side Soul, a blues classic that helped define the Chicago West Side sound with its smooth guitar work and emotional depth. Kevin follows with Country Joe & The Fish’s Electric Music for the Mind and Body, a psychedelic landmark that perfectly captures the counterculture spirit of the late ‘60s.

From there, the guys shift gears into a back-and-forth round of Either/Or, each throwing 10 matchups at the other — forcing quick decisions and sparking some unexpected debates.

To close things out, Craig puts Kevin on the spot with another round of Dig It, Dump It, or Don’t Know It, mixing in artists, genres, and curveballs that keep things unpredictable.

From blues to psychedelia to rapid-fire reactions — this one covers it all.
