Reports of the death of Music Television were greatly exaggerated—or 25 years late, depending on your point of view. Wherever you stand on that question, we Gen Xers thought we'd set aside an hour to talk about four of our favorites from the good old days.

Today we put 2025 fully in the rear-view, with Part Two of our Apple Music Replay series. Join us as Mark and Brad serve some choice cuts from their Best of/ Most of playlists.

Lots to look for in this one, including a surprise drop from Mark and a trip to São Paulo with Brad, amid simmering tensions in the ongoing '90s v. '20s battle.

With nearly every app giving us some history of our activity this year, we decided to share with you three songs each that made their way onto our Apple Music Replay playlists.

This is a super-sized, two-part episode. In today's episode, Bob and Carla share their picks, a few of which come with some controversy and some attitude. Have Bob and Carla formed their own alliance? Will Brad and Mark ever listen to a band from the current year and actually like them? You'll have to tune in to find out.
