in our 50 For 50 episode, I was pretty much a day-one Mayer fan, meaning that everything he put out from that day on, I listened to it on the first day.</p><p>Our Top 5 John Mayer songs lists are different &#8212; Mike and I don&#8217;t rank the same ones &#8212; but between the two of us, you&#8217;ll hear classics like &#8220;Clarity,&#8221; &#8220;Belief,&#8221; &#8220;Assassin,&#8221; &#8220;Gravity,&#8221; and &#8220;New Light.&#8221;</p><p>We also play a few rounds of Rock With It/Stop With It with songs like &#8220;Daughters,&#8221; &#8220;Your Body Is a Wonderland,&#8221; &#8220;Waiting on the World to Change,&#8221; and &#8220;Who Do You Love&#8221; to see if we still rock with them, or ever have.</p><p>Listen above or check us out everywhere
