Episode 19 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on simplicity...hitting it down the middle of the fairway...giving the people what they want...and of course, shaming Nubs for being so mean to these gosh darn Heartbreakers all the time.  Hard working, serviceable backing band.  That just puts in the work.  Hits the heavy bag.  Brings their lunch pail to the shows.  So lay off 'em.  Nubs.  Tune in and enjoy!

Episode 18 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, takes you to Lenny Kravitz dude!!!   For TJ.  Loved and missed always.

Episode 17 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, reminds us that there were really three major eras in music: the Rick Allen 2-armed era...the Rick Allen 1-armed era...and, still ongoing, bassist Flea and his 3-arm era.  So let's get the Def out.  If no one ever said that before, they should have.  Shoulda been a thing.

Episode 16 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on group of Aussie alpha dogs which had some incredible song names -- and some actual songs that weren't so shabby either.  Angus beef.  Top choice cuts.  TT5 is back and, this time, we've got the biggest balls of them all.

Toph leads the discussion and review of Fall Out Boy's 2008 album ‘Folie à Deux' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   That's French, ya know.  What it means?  Tune in and find out.  Is this their last good album?  Tune in and find out.  What was Yes' last good album?  Tune in and find out.  Did Patrick Stump make the worst solo album ever made?  Tune in and find out. Would Nubs go see Wyonna Judd in concert?  Tune in and find out.  Is Wyonna Judd the dead one?  Actually we still don't know.  Are the Detroit Red Wings for real?  That's another one we don't know but are hopeful.  Did Howard The Duck sing his own theme song?  Shucks we never checked on that.  So c'mon, be there -- we got long song titles, puns, lots of post-emo energy...and did we mention the long song titles? 

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Dream Theater's 1992 album ‘Images and Words’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   Episode 6-7.  What does that even mean...we don't know.  No one seems to know.  But it's actually 95.  And we are here to bring you another prog metal delight.  Is it too long?  Too short?  Too indulgent?  Not indulgent enough?  Chiefs?  Lions?  Wait what does 6-7 mean again?  Still don't know.  And who cares.  Just join the fun...cause we got a buncha jammin' guys here, and we hope you like jammin' too. 

Toph leads the discussion and review of Coldplay's 2005 album ‘X&T’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   Welp, lots to cover today.  Let’s start with dead people…Nubs’ summer concert schedule…and kiss cams.  From there, we will get into everyone’s love of Human Resources, bad track sequencing, What’s Happenin' (the 80’s television program), whether or not The Wrestling Album was good, and whether or not The Coral Reefer Band playing Jimmy Buffet songs by themselves is a money grab or not.  But most importantly – and perhaps in the most important public safety message 2T&A has ever delivered: don’t…please don’t…do the “Concert Stand Behind” maneuver.  Ever.  It could cost you your career.  Just say no.

Nubs leads the discussion and review of U2’s 1997 album ‘Pop’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   Pop or Not Pop?  The boys assess this piece which, regardless of your thoughts, bridged the industry from the 90s to the 2000s.  Then we all got scared of Y2K and such.  We all started thinking it would be our Last Night on Earth.  Okay that one was too easy.  Tune in as we dig into this mega release from this mega band, and whether or not the “reverse bookends” nature of it pleases the fellas.  Let’s go.

Toph leads the discussion and review of Fine Young Cannibals' 1989 album ‘The Raw & The Cooked’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   Stop the presses...we did two episodes in 8 days!  Which makes us proud as pie.  Tune in to hear the boys discuss the sweet sultry (I guess) voice of Roland Gift, provide the story of how this "spin off" band came about, and play the strangest game in the history of 2T&A.  Will this episode be raw? Will it be cooked? Will it be a Gift?  Will it be a good thing?  Will we drive you crazy? Will you be satisfied?  Or will you take what you can get?  Regardless -- don't look back, and give episode 92 a listen.  It's ok.  It's alright.

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Backstreet Boys’ 1999 album ‘Millennium’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   Well it’s been a bit – and what better way to say we’ve missed you, we love you, we can’t be without you, and we yearn for your touch and your kisses and your affection and the sky may fall but as long as its you and us together in the end it will be all worthwhile after all...than with episode 91.  Hey, I think we just wrote a song.  Join as we discuss the genre of the bands made up of boys – and how this album helped calm the fears of a Y2K catastrophe, and instead began the new century with good vibes.  Because we wanted it that way.  Get in!!

Episode 15 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on a quartet from Georgia who liked to put on their harborcoats and play some sort-of rock and roll.  Mandolin sold separately.  

Episode 14 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on a Charlottesville, Virginia's favorite South African son, David J. Matthews and his reggae band.  Don't burn the day away, listen to Toph's Top Five instead.  It'll make you smile.

Episode 13 of Toph’s Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on a trio from Buffalo (go Chiefs) -- who once saved the day for a young, bored Nubs and Toph as an opening act before anyone knew who they were.  True story.  Enjoy.
