AfterPlaylist: A Music Playlist Podcast

In this episode of After Playlist, we (Brandon Lee, Terry-Yo, and our honorary hype queen, Charita) rank our favorite sing-along songs, argue like it's a sport, and relive some hilarious, off-key memories. It’s a wild mix of bad singing, worse opinions, and a lot of love for the songs we just can’t help but belt out.

▸ MUSIC DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE:
♪ — "Let's Get It On" - Marvin Gaye
♪ — "Tighten Up" - The Black Keys
♪ — "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" - Cage The Elephant
♪ — "Sweater Weather" - The Neighbourhood
♪ — "Arabella" - Arctic Monkeys
♪ — "S...

Between heated debates, questionable song choices, and way too many nostalgia trips, we somehow manage to create a tier list without completely ruining our friendship. It’s all about bad singing, great memories, and the undeniable truth that some songs just demand you scream the lyrics like nobody’s judging — even though, trust us, we definitely are.
