In this episode: Ted and John get into the Time Machine and head back to 1981 — one of rock’s biggest years — to spotlight five of their favorite albums in the year they got their license to drive. Ted waxes nostalgic on records by The Go Go’s, Pretenders, Rush, and others, while John makes the case for The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Duran Duran, and more. Then, in the second segment, New Jersey-based musician and journalist, Dw Dunphy, talks to Ted about the challenges of being an independent musician in an age of streaming and why he agrees with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine on the disappearance of bands.
