Losing My Opinion

#31 - Michael McDonald is awesome, say it with me.

Matt remembers his college dorm days with a collection of mid-00's indie pop favorites, downloaded from Limewire and burned onto busted CDs - "Matt's Mixes", if you will. Thomas then attempts - seemingly in vain - to get this known Mikey McD hater over to the right side of the tracks, and truly appreciate those husky soulful pipes.https://www.thinlear.com/https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/losingmyopinionIG:https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@losingmyopinionAsk us a question via our DMs!

#30 - Oh Rod Stewart, what you once had...

Matt confesses his deep admiration of Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells A Story", doing his best to forget all about the Great American Songbook schlock in the process. Thomas then tells a story of three different acclaimed record producers - who all tried their hand at the singer-songwriter thing themselves...

#29 - Nickelback vs. Creed... Who’s better?

The boys are particularly unprepared this week, so what better to fill the time than a deep-dive into two of the biggest-selling (and reviled) rock bands of the 2000's? It's time for a good ol' Battle of the Bands!

#28 - Do you stand with Steely Dan?

Matt starts off strong with a presentation on Al Green - *master* of doing cover songs. As if being an all-time great soul singer-songwriter wasn't enough... Thomas then gets confrontational as he attempts to get Matt - known Aja-hater - onboard with Steely Dan's dark weird funky triumph "Gaucho".https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/https://www.thinlear.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/losingmyopinionIG:https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@losingmyopinionAsk us a question via our DMs!

#27 - The best 80s band.

Matt comes in hot with a strong argument for why The Lovin' Spoonful deserve more love from the latest generation of music snobs/hipsters. Thomas then showcases his favorite band of the 1980s (so sorry, Talking Heads and XTC...) - mostly confounding everyone in the process.https://www.thinlear.com/https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/losingmyopinionIG:https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@losingmyopinionAsk us a question via our DMs!

#26 - Are we too hard on Coldplay?

LMO "badboy" Nate Safren is back this week! Thomas kicks things off with an in-depth segment on the most successful band of the 21st century (for realsies), and all the contempt, confusion, and reluctant admiration they inspire. Nate then discusses the singular legacy of Matt Farley - writer of over 23,000 songs and Master of the Algorithm. Wild surprises ensue.https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/https://www.thinlear.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/losingmyopinionIG:https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@losingmyopinionAsk us a question via our DMs!

#25 - Here’s that 1999 power-pop time capsule you ordered.

Matt presents his curated selection of the best top 40 power-pop that 1999 had to offer - the perfect compliment to nu-metal, its kindred spirit. Thomas then finally gets to dedicate a segment to Haruomi Hosono, one of the all-time great influential Japanese pop artists - and a man who sold his soul to the synthesizer...https://www.thinlear.com/https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/losingmyopinionIG:https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@losingmyopinionAsk us a question via our DMs!

#24 - The Perfect Halloween Soundtrack

The boys both have Halloween on the brain this week, as Matt (aka 'Spooky' Thin Lear) kicks things off with some good ol' horror folk courtesy of The Wicker Man soundtrack - no, not the Nic Cage version... Thomas (aka 'Spooky' Niagara Moon) then tries to one-up him with a look into the musical work of legendary director John Carpenter, including those three awesome "Lost Themes" albums... https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/https://www.thinlear.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/losingmyopinionIG:https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@losingmyopinionAsk us a question via our DMs!

#23 - Daddy’s Busy: The World’s Best Hold Music

The first 'minisode' of the podcast. Only one topic for today because, well... ya know.
Thin Lear (Matt) had a lot goin' on this week, so Thomas gently invites him into a discussion on hold music - and shares a couple of songs he believes would make for the Best Hold Music in the country. Nay, the world!

#22 - How moldy is this 60’s cheese?

Matt shows off some of the many schmaltzy, dated 60's pop love tunes he shamefully enjoys - guilty pleasures galore. Thomas then discusses one of his all-time fave artists Bjork, and attempts to find the Perfect Bjork Song for Matt.
