Hello, I'm Hal Lublin.

And I'm Mark Gagliardi.

Since the dawn of humanity, one issue has gone unsettled.

With the fate of the world and the balance, we're here to settle once and for all.

Best decade for music.

That's right. Don't worry, everyone.

We got this.

Podcasts should have a theme song. Podcast should not have a theme song. Yes, they should. No, they shouldn't. They sound good. Yeah, but people are just going to skip past it. Hmm. You know what? You're right. We got this. All right. We're coming in hot on this one.

This is the best decade for music.

We're each bringing two or three finalists.

Here's what I'm going to say right now in the interest of expediency.

If one of us has the same as another one, we don't have to introduce, we don't have to go scrounging and coming up with another one.

If we had the same three, let's say.

Then that would mean that those are the only three we have to talk about. Yeah, we're here to talk about the greatest decades for music. Yeah. And I feel like rather than going through criteria now, I think it's going to become evident why we choose the decades we choose. Do you agree with that? I don't know what our, I don't, I think our criteria would be different for each decade because each decade brings something different to music. Yes.

Do you want to kick it off with your first one and tell me why? Here's the thing, Hal.

Ain't nothing about this earlier. And you were like, look, in American popular music,

there have been what now, now, 12 decades.

Yeah. So we don't need to talk about 12 decades that show be four hours long. Let's each bring in two or three. Yep. And then I got to thinking about it. And then I got to reading about it. And then I got to studying it. I don't have three, Hal. I don't have two. You have one? I have one. I have one. So I'm going to defer to you.

How would you like to do this?

Because I only have one. Do you want to talk about mine now and see if the two or three that you've got how they would try to play King of the Mountain on this? Or do you want me to wait till the end? I want you to wait till the end like a magic trick and open. We write it down on a piece of paper right now. Yes. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to close my eyes and you can show it to Ken. By the way, this is, what's happening? What's happening here? Are you trying to guess? I'm trying to like somehow establish whatever, well, whatever you write down will be the thing i'm going to trust that you

will write down the actual yeah yeah i only wrote one thing down on a okay this thing says flights

on the other side because i was writing on some flights on it so okay cool yeah so i mean when is the
