Sorry, no audio. Try the permalink.

The poet and philosopher George Santayana once said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." To ensure that future generations don't forget the triumphs and tragedies of pop music's past, we host another Soundcheck Smackdown over the musical legacies of baby boomers and Generation X. Joining us in studio are Jeff Gordinier, editor at large at Details magazine and author of "X Saves the World," and music critic Anthony DeCurtis, contributing editor at Rolling Stone and author of "In Other Words: Artists Talk About Life and Work."
