Get your groove on!
Throughout our time on this show we have listened and ranked A LOT of music spanning from the 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s, and the 2010’s. So where do we go from here? Backwards of course! It’s time to end our pentalogy of ranking decades of music by boogying on down to the 70’s. The 70’s was a big turning point for contemporary music, elevating genres such as rock, reggae, funk, folk, and of course disco! The innovations from this decade set new standards for artistic freedom and creativity while being a powerful force for entertainment and social change. Suffice to say the 70’s was, in fact, cool beans. So hang loose with Tuong La and foxy friends Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they stick it to the man one more time and bang out a dynamite Top 5 70’s Songs list!

Hey Bae, hope you are ready to get turnt up to some lit tunes!
We did the 80’s, we did the 90’s, and then the 2000’s, so the time has come to finally listen to the tunes of the 2010 decade ! The 2010’s were a huge leap in the music industry with the rise of streaming services and having every song at your finger tips. The songs of the 2010s did wonders for many genres like pop, hip-hop, R&B, and saw the rise of EDM and all sorts of electronic music. We even saw more genre-blending and the breaking of traditional boundaries between categories of music. So join Tuong La and his music rankin’ fam Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they ‘low-key’ go ‘YOLO’ and bring you a Top 5 2010’s list that is definitely ‘on fleek’.

Holla newbies! We are in the 2000’s now!
We did the 80’s, we did the 90’s, now it’s time to tackle the best music of the 2000’s! The 2000’s was a big turning point in the music industry. With the rise of portable music players (ie mp3 players and the iPod classic) and digital storefronts to download songs, listening to music became easier and more accessible than ever. Because of that, we got a boom in the quantity and quality of songs that came out in this decade from essentially every genre which is what made today’s episode particularly difficult (but not impossible!). So join Tuong La and your “Baller Homeskillets” Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they bring back “fetch” while getting “crunk” and make a Top 5 2000’s songs list!

Pull up those overalls and throw on your neon tracksuits because this week we are going back to the 90’s!
Aiight home skillet, do we have the episode for YOU today! The musical era of the 90’s was, to say the least, an interesting and defining decade of what music would eventually become. Moving away from the whiny guitars and synth we got from the 80’s, we started transitioning into a variety of different sounds from the rising popularity of Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, Grunge, and Ska/Punk. We also got our fair share of boys band and pop groups too! So this week join Tuong La and Phat and Fly guests Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they rank ‘all that and a bag of chips’ while discussing Top 5 90’s songs!

Comb back your mullets and perms because this week we are going back to the 80’s!
In many ways, the 80’s were a much simpler time. A time where fashion was colorfully neon and bold, where people loved to actually go out to the movies and go dancing, and a time where random slang words were ‘gnarly’ and ‘hella’ plentiful. Music was particularly ‘bitchin’ during this time because it gave rise to some of the best karaoke songs and, not to mention, music videos that has ever existed. From whiny guitars to synth drums to dancing in a skin-tight outfit while dramatically belting out lyrics that put today’s songs to shame – 80’s music had it it all. This week join Tuong La and Tubular guests Axandre Lemours, Victoria Luloff, and Colleen Wang as they ‘totally’ come up with a ‘rad’ Top 5 80’s Songs List!
