Worst Song By a Band We Love

Send us a message and get a shoutout!They say even the greatest bands can’t go undefeated and today, we’re reviewing the blooper reel.This episode is a loving roast, a public service announcement, and a reminder that your heroes are human. We’re diving headfirst into the songs that made us say, “Wait… this is on the album?” The tracks that stopped the momentum. The weird experiments. The ill-advised ballads. The “who let them cook?” moments from bands that otherwise changed our lives.We debate whether context matters, whether nostalgia can save a bad song, and if a single misstep should ever be forgiven when the rest of the catalog absolutely rips. Expect passionate defenses, reckless slander, historical revisionism, and at least one moment where someone says, “No, you’re just wrong.”Your favorite band is safe.Your favorite song is not.Headphones on. Feelings hurt. Let’s go, as this week...Formidable Opponents debate and discuss, "Worst Song by a Great Band."Support the showReach out to us and follow us:formidableopponents@gmail.com (Contact us)https://formidableopponents.buzzsprout.com/ (Website)@Fopponents (Twitter)formidable_opponents (Instagram)FormidableOpponents (Facebook)@formidableopponents (Tik Tok)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/foropponents (Show us some love)Merchandisehttps://formidableopponents.creator-spring.com/Cover art by Creative Little Pillhttps://www.instagram.com/creativelittlepill/https://creative-little-pill.creator-spring.com/Magic Mindhttps://www.magicmind.com/opponents

The Comeback Episode

Send us a message and get a shoutout!We're back!  The Formidable Opponents comeback episode is us picking up like we never left… except now we’re a little more self-aware, slightly more reflective, and still very unsure how long we were actually gone. Same chemistry, same rhythms, and the comforting realization that the hardest part wasn’t coming back, it was figuring out how to wrap it up.Call it muscle memory, call it nostalgia, or call it refusing to let a good conversation end. Either way, we’re back, we’re warmed up, and we definitely hit record before overthinkingListen to what we've been up to and our takes on concerts, aging, Quentin Tarantino and honoring the great Catherine O' Hara.Support the showReach out to us and follow us:formidableopponents@gmail.com (Contact us)https://formidableopponents.buzzsprout.com/ (Website)@Fopponents (Twitter)formidable_opponents (Instagram)FormidableOpponents (Facebook)@formidableopponents (Tik Tok)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/foropponents (Show us some love)Merchandisehttps://formidableopponents.creator-spring.com/Cover art by Creative Little Pillhttps://www.instagram.com/creativelittlepill/https://creative-little-pill.creator-spring.com/Magic Mindhttps://www.magicmind.com/opponents
