PART 1 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters) from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show with Stephen Merchant. Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time.
Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket.
This 2-part BEST OF ROCKBUSTERS Compilation is based on the comprehensive 6-part ROCKBUSTERS compilation of every Rockbuster segment from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show (released previously).
CHAPTERS:
Weezer, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake (0:00)
Destiny's Child, Puff Daddy aka Diddy, The Bangles (10:43)
The Dandy Warhols, Holly Valance, Whitney Houston (17:59)
Foreigner, Shalamar, Bananarama (25:33)
Adam Ant, Pixies, Anita Baker (33:14)
