For the 200th episode of the Lunch Hour Podcast, host Andrew Langer puts public policy aside for a special conversation with Tim Lee, Senior Vice President of Legal and Public Affairs at the Center for Individual Freedom, and Jerry Rogers, editor of RealClearPolicy and RealClearHealth and host of The Jerry Rogers Show on WBAL NewsRadio.

The three take on some of the great rock-and-roll debates: Were the Beatles better before or after they grew facial hair? Which era of the Rolling Stones was best? Are Led Zeppelin or The Who actually the greatest rock band of all time? And where do Elvis Presley and the Beach Boys fit into the history of popular music?

Along the way, Andrew, Tim, and Jerry talk about the albums and artists that shaped their musical tastes, their first records, Casey Kasem and American Top 40, and what it was like discovering the music of the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s.

It's a different kind of Lunch Hour as the show celebrates 200 episodes with music, memories, disagreements, and plenty of rock-and-roll arguments.
