Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
Writer's Block
Peter Bjorn and John ·2006
"It's an amazing pop record, and I listened to this the other day and I feel like the first... the side A of this record is so... I mean, 'Writer's Block,' 'Object of My Affection,' and 'Young Folks.' 'Take me down to...' And then 'Up Against the Wall' is like a sleeper jam. That record sounds amazing."

Smile Sessions
The Beach Boys ·1967
"There's a 'Smile' version that has a lot of the talkback sessions with Brian Wilson talking to his musicians and being like, 'Carol do it again' and they're laughing. But you hear him and he's so cogent."

Solo Piano III
Chilly Gonzales ·2018
"I love this record. This is like upgraded, and I still like George Winston but I think that Chilly Gonzales has replaced all of that. And is amazing and I can get behind all of it a hundred percent."
