This week on Revinyl, Shawn and Craig mix things up with a blend of rapid-fire fun and strategic music geekery—ending in one epic fantasy lineup battle.

🎯 Rate It & Either/Or:

Craig vs. Shawn: Craig puts Shawn through the paces with a full slate of Rate It 1–10 topics and a round of Either/Or choices.

Shawn vs. Craig: Shawn fires back with his own Either/Or challenges—testing Craig’s quick thinking and music loyalties.

🎤 The Musical Draft – Build Your Dream Band:
For the main event, Shawn proposes a new challenge: a fantasy music draft where each host selects:

1 Vocalist
1 Lead Guitarist
1 Rhythm Guitarist
1 Bassist
1 Drummer
1 Producer
1 Engineer
Bonus (Shawn only): 1 Keyboardist

The Rule: Once a musician from a band is drafted, neither can pick anyone else from that same band—so no teaming up Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.

The result? Two completely different “supergroups” built from the best in rock history. Who’s band reigns supreme? You decide.

This week on Revinyl, Shawn and Craig turn their attention to Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Albums of All Time—but with a twist. Instead of combing through the entire list, they zoom in on the Top 20, comparing the original 1987 rankings to the most current edition to see what’s changed, what’s stayed, and what’s sparked debate.

📀 Then vs. Now:
From timeless classics to unexpected shake-ups, the duo breaks down how the top tier of the list has evolved over the decades—and which albums they think deserve (or don’t deserve) their lofty spots.

🎯 Rate It 1–10 & Either/Or:
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Revinyl episode without the rapid-fire fun:

• Rate It 1–10: Each host challenges the other with 10 random music and pop culture topics to score.
• Either/Or: Quick decisions, tough calls, and a few curveballs along the way.

🎶 Whether you love lists or love to tear them apart, this episode’s got the rankings, opinions, and banter you’ve come to expect from Revinyl.
