Music Ranked! Episodes
For as long as the Hersey brothers have been adults, they have scared away their various in-laws by nerding out over music and metadata. Many a long conversation has been had as to what (or more specifically, how) we’d rank our favorite artists.
Then, in 2018, Eric began quantifying his rankings and built a web site to track his progress, and Music Ranked! was born. Shortly thereafter, we decided that it would be fun to have some of those discussions on the TodCast, as a supplement to the website and to share Eric’s research and information with the masses.
