Brief overview

A beach-trip podcast relitigates a drunken music argument: U2 versus Metallica, Prince's ranking, and wet sand.

  1. The whole feud began with Prince's guitar rankingThe original argument was that Prince is not a top 20 guitarist, and it escalated from there.
  2. U2 over Metallica was defended on sales, not musicThe argument came down to more records and more popularity, a metric the others refused to accept.
  3. Both sides quietly agree water packs sandThe real dispute was the size of the bottle and the number of trips to the ocean, not the physics.
