Matt makes Thomas physically nauseous with a selection of nu-metal tracks from his youth, supposedly the cream of the genre's crop. Thomas then saves the day by digging into the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack, Richard O'Brien, and Tim Curry - imagining an alternate musical timeline that never was...

Matt unleashes his over-the-top enthusiasm for the very over-the-top "prog-adjacent" Electric Light Orchestra - particularly their album Eldorado. Thomas then sets off on a journey to discover the reason why many superb early 90's UK bands couldn't quite make their dent into the US market. It's a bizarre phenomenon known as the "Jangle-pop Bermuda Triangle"...

Matt shares one of his favorite 90's alternative albums that he believes should get to sit on the shelf with all the big boys like Nirvana or Soundgarden. Thomas then reveals some bizarre songs that are actually very near and dear to his heart. Are they guilty pleasures? That's for Judge Matt to decide, in the very first installment of "Guilty or Not Guilty?"
