Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
Honky Tonk Heroes
Waylon Jennings ·1973
"In 1972, Waylon Jennings made a record called 'Honky-Tonk Heroes' and it was country acts figuring out that rock acts got to do things they didn't get to do. It's groundbreaking, there's not any doubt about it and it kind of saved rock n' roll for a minute. But it's because of the songs; he was a really great songwriter and it's a great record."

The Woods
Sleater-Kinney ·2005
"I love Sleater-Kinney, I just always have and I love this record. Somebody decides to make a grown-up, fully developed record based on everything they've done in their careers up to that point and I wish these guys would make more records."

"This is a really genuinely great record from beginning to end that I kind of wore out. My girlfriend's kids learned how to cuss from this record 'cause I was always playing it when I was taking them to school."
