Green Day, Weezer, and Fall Out Boy are gearing up to hit the stage in a massive tour that is somewhat reminiscent of massive stadium tours of generations passed. While the guys are probably not going to be in attendance, both draft the 10 songs they’d like to hear the most. Bonus history lesson on Weezer’s Pinkerton, as it’s Pat’s first opportunity in 150+ episodes to talk about his favorite band.

If you’re gonna talk about sad boy, hall of fame albums, you won’t get very far without coming across ‘Give Up’ by The Postal Service. Somehow 150 episodes have gone by without the attention it deserves. The band released 1 single platinum album in the early 2000s, and while one of the guys didn’t take to it immediately, it ended up rattling both of their worlds for years to come.
As some sad dudes from the (kinda) mid-west, there was just nothing better than this album, and while each song is loved for different reasons, the guys make an attempt to rank the songs from least to most favorite, and both are a little shocked by their own lists.

When you’re thinking of classic sad boy acoustic jams from the early to mid 2000s, Ever So Sweet by The Early November and Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s surely come to mind. The guys sift through why Hey There Delilah was such a greater commercial success, what attributed to that success, and what Ever So Sweet was missing that kept it from taking over the world in the same way.

Every band in the world takes a crack at writing a several overdone cover of a classic Christmas song. Very few write decent originals, but the mixtape draft this week includes songs of both kinds released in the years 2000-2009 to get you in the spirit this holiday season!
