Shawn Farmer & Craig Vennes Season 2 Episode 21

This week on Revinyl, Shawn and Craig return with more music-fueled fun, critical rankings, and a countdown decades in the making.

🎯 Rate It 1–10 (Round 2):
Shawn once again puts Craig on the spot with 10 fresh, random topics spanning music and pop culture. Craig rates each one on a scale from 1 to 10—no prep, no context, just pure instinct.

🤔 Either/Or Challenge:
Next up, Shawn introduces a new twist—“Either/Or.” Craig is presented with two options and has to pick one. It’s quick-fire choices, some tougher than they look, and it leads to some fun debates along the way.

📼 Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Albums of the ’80s – The Final 20:
Then it's time for the grand finale as they reveal and discuss the Top 20 albums from Rolling Stone’s original 1989 list of the best albums of the 1980s. With the decade still fresh in critics’ minds back then, Shawn and Craig explore which picks have stood the test of time—and which may have been overrated (or overlooked).
