Fifty by Two

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

Two giants of music history clash in this episode, and one host fails to complete their homework on time. We give mentions to some of our favourite YouTubers, discuss some niche anatomy, and wonder what day it is. 

Content Warnings: some explicit language in music clips.

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

This episode, we suffer from a short recording turnaround, and would both have liked longer than the four days we had with these albums. We begin what will become an ongoing discussion on the worst band names in history, drop a pen into the abyss, and postpone niceties.

Content Warnings: none.

We get into the top forty, bringing very different albums to the discussion. Episōdo o o tanoshimi kudasai! 

Content Warnings: some (difficult to hear) explicit language in song lyrics in the first half; very probably some explicit language in Japanese, but honestly we're not sure.

Hotdog. Jumping frog. Albuquerque. A break from the countdown as we share and examine the first albums that we owned. We didn't choose these albums; they chose us.

With the Rumours Coefficient at 10, James and Glen go to war, pulling out the Most Opposite (TM) albums so far. Will either of us survive?

It's Transfer Deadline Day, and we get distracted for a while lamenting the absence of Harry Redknapp leaning out of a Range Rover. Glen visits an old friend, and James steps outside of his demographic. 

Content Warnings: one pretty early mild expletive. It's "piss". James says "piss".

This episode, the hosts come in undercooked and end up discussing Waterloo Station, Eurovision, misplaced faeces (not a typo), and Christmas music. As well as two albums, of course.

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

In this episode, James and Glen find that talking about albums is less fun when they both like them, so instead explore some tangents and take a shallow dive into Contemporary Christian Music.

Note: the audio quality is not as good as usual this episode – for which we apologise.

Content Warnings: a host swears once, at about 42:30. Discussions about dealing with lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
