How many arguments have you had with your friends on whether a band is great or terrible? If you’re a music nerd, probably too many to count.

Some bands just don’t inspire a casual fan base. They’re so polarizing, so absolute, that they either cultivate a die-hard fan base or legions of haters. And that’s what this podcast episode is dedicated.

In part one of our two-part series, Chris Logan and I discuss bands that either elicit groans or cheers, and give pros and cons for each to understand why they’re so divisive.

For this week’s podcast episode we’re tackling The Smashing Pumpkins, The Eagles, Rush, Dave Matthews Band and The Grateful Dead.

Get ready to become elated or upset, and be sure to send us a voice message on Anchor or a comment on our blog post to defend your favorite band!

And click here for part 2, where we throw down on U2, Metallica, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson and Radiohead.
