This week on Vinyl Verdicts: Music Reviews, Chris and Rachel take on one of the biggest debates in music:

Cover Songs vs. Originals.

Some covers completely reinvent a song and become bigger than the original. Others? Let’s just say… they should’ve stayed in the studio.

We each picked songs that blur the line between tribute and takeover—then put them head-to-head to answer the question:

👉 Did the cover do it better… or is the original still king?

Expect strong opinions, a few surprises, and plenty of moments where we completely disagree.

Everyone has them — songs that make you reach for the skip button immediately.

On this episode of Vinyl Verdicts, hosts Chris and Rachel share six songs they instantly skip whenever they come on. Some are overplayed classics, others are songs they never liked in the first place.

But here’s the twist: each song still gets the Vinyl Verdict treatment, where it’s rated from 1 to 5 records. Are these songs truly terrible… or are Chris and Rachel being unfair?

Join us for laughs, debates, and some seriously controversial music opinions.

This week on Vinyl Verdicts: Song Reviews, husband-and-wife duo Chris and Rachel switch things up.

Instead of swapping songs, we’re diving into Spotify’s All New Rock playlist and turning the couch into a listening party.

We react in real time, break down the production, vocals, hooks, and vibe — and give each track our official Vinyl Verdict.

Is modern rock thriving?

Is it evolving?

Or are we all just nostalgic for 1994?

Watch live every Monday at 7PM and join the conversation.
