This week, Rob and Dave are stepping into the musical time machine for the ultimate clash of titans. We are pitting the absolute best of the Billboard Hot 100 from 1984 against the heavy hitters of 1994. The guys break down the Year-End Top 5 for each era, look at the cultural shifts that defined music as a whole, and make the impossible final call: Which year actually reigned supreme?

To keep things fair, the guys are looking directly at the official Billboard Year-End charts. The matchups are absolutely wild. Prince vs Ace of Base, Kenny Loggins vs Boyz II Men and the big voices of Phil Collins vs Mariah Carey. Who will come out on top?
