Simple question: What do you guys want out of a new Fable?

Hey everybody! I recently had a debate with a man in his 60s who argued that the music industry hasn't generated somebody as "iconic" as Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, or The Beatles since their era. You're smarter than I am, who do you think is in or close to that pantheon from the last 30 years of music?

Are there any songs you did not like until you heard a cover of them?

Jeremy Bohl

Michael Jackson without a question

I am a very big Carly Rae Jepsen fan who celebrates her whole discography and every time I bring her up to friends they say “she has music that’s not Call Me Maybe?”. Who for you is your favorite artist that everyone only knows for one or two songs? Thanks for the great podcast!

I'd argue that Metallica and Beyonce are just as iconic as anyone on that list. That era was different in that there were less choices so fewer acts made larger impacts.

My song this week is "You Don't Own Me Anymore" by The Secret Sisters. Their voices are beautiful and the album cover (of their mother) is striking and lends impact to the song.

Brian Ventura

No one will come close to the beatles level of iconic, but I might say 2Pac, Dr. Dre, and Beyonce are those who come to mind if you're asking for a pantheon from the last 30 years to rival those you've mentioned.

I’ve never been even close to being interested in The Hunger Games franchise, but I’m a big fan of the Lorde-produced soundtrack for Mockingjay (feat. artists like CHVRCHES, Pusha T, and Miguel). Has there ever been a soundtrack you got really into, but had no interest in seeing the movie it was inspired by?

Mike Lynch

Jeremy Bohl, Colin Hay was someone I only knew for his two 80's hits. He has a deep catalogue that has songs that make me laugh and cry.

Hey wrong feed with that last sumbission. Sorry! But to answer this question I think John Mayer hit legendary status with Continuum, and continued making unforgettable music. I think he’ll leave a legacy.

Hello Wilds, with Sony dominating customer reception, and Xbox fumbling marquee showcases and cross-gen messaging, how much do the prices of the consoles truly matter? Could the PS5 cost $200+ more than the Series X, and still conquer the holiday season?

Tim Lorow

When you were young, did you appreciate women singers as much as men? I know for me, I had wrongly assumed that songs with women singers were for girls. Song: Pedestrian At Best by Courtney Barnett

Brotendo

Great band and great lyrics. Emergency & I is their best album imo

Mike Lynch

Man, that Bill Withers song "Use Me" has been playing every day on Sirius Soul Town channel every other day. Love it.
