Welcome to the internet! We have hot takes here. SportsAlcohol.com has plenty of contrary and bizarre opinions to go around, and for this podcast we focused on albums from the pop music canon. Rob, Sara, Marisa, and Jesse got together to chat about which albums they think are secretly inferior to other, less acclaimed albums by the same artist. It’s a simple formula that generates hot take after hot take! Here are just some of the artists we cover in this trim 40-minute session:
The Beatles!
Bruce Springsteen!
U2!
The Stone Roses!
Radiohead!
Sleater-Kinney!
Simon & Garfunkel!
Coldplay for some reason!
Liz Phair!
AND MORE!
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll become infuriated with our hotness.

To confirm: Derrick would not stan for On Avery Island
I regret not bringing up Bowie.
My only hot take on Bowie is likely shared by Rob: that Earthling is really good. But I wouldn’t put it above my top two, which I feel like are almost everyone’s top two: Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory. I guess my hot take is liking those popular favorites more than Low?
Don’t forget Heathen! Also quite good!
I don’t have any issue with people who think Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory are better than Low. I don’t share this opinion, but you’ll be spared in the purges.
