Extended Play ·

2023/04/28

It's the Season 1 finale! In this episode, hosts E and Tank get angry about a three-year-old list of the best albums of all time. ANGRY. They take a somewhat scientific approach to their discussion, each suggesting three albums that should have been on the list and where they might be placed, and in doing so, fix the list. Well, maybe not, but at least they certainly feel a whole hell of a lot better now. Remember to like/follow/subscribe to The Extended Play Podcast. Hear songs from this and

Lyrics - How Important Are Song Lyrics Anyway?
