See You Down The Front

In this episode we get to choose 15 tracks from Madonna's back catalogue as an introduction for new fans - as if she really needs any introduction.
Adam, Elle and Paul bring eight choices each to the table and these are whittled down to create an overarching Madonna playlist.
The greatest female pop and pop culture icon of the last 40 years? We think so!

Well it's been a while! Illness and emigration have put the podcast on hold for a little while, but we've regrouped and we're back with our 50th episode.  Joining us for the first time is Elle who drags us kicking and screaming into the 2010s and beyond, as we each choose our top ten singles of all time. And it wasn't easy! Expect to hear some familiar names for See You Down The Front and a few making the podcast for the first time, but not necessarily the last.

It's another World Cup Year - this time back in 1973. Glam was in its pomp, the charts were full of Soul stirrers and a new generation of pop idols were being formed. Listen as Paul, Ben and Adam kick this one around to find the ultimate single of the year. Apologies to anyone expecting an Osmonds/David Cassidy fest!

We are joined by a special guest for this episode as we discuss the career of Liverpool legends Echo and the Bunnymen and try to compile a worthy 15-song compilation to do justice to their 40-year plus career. Alongside Paul, Ben and Adam is journalist, broadcaster and author Tony Fletcher who wrote the story of the Bunnymen in Never Stop. He founded Jamming! magazine, co-presented legendary TV music show The Tube and has written acclaimed books on REM, Wilson Pickett and The Smiths. It was a privilege to have him contribute to our discussion.

Here's our Best of British Vol.3 - and we're still arguing! It's one artist, one song, so see who makes the cut this time round and who, staggeringly, has still failed to find a place even with 60 artists now represented. Join Paul, Ben and Adam for another round of music chat and expect Vol.4 to come along pretty soon.

It won't come as any surprise that we're fans of The Stone Roses, but how would we rank 20 of their finest tunes? Apologies to Shoot You Down which didn't make the final list, but that only emphasises the strength of the material. Listen as Paul, Ben and Adam debate the respective finishing positions of these classics.

In the words of The Waitresses, It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax. And what better way to do it than with our Christmas special as Paul, Ben, Adam and Neil pick five fantasy Christmas dinner guests to chat around the table and also sing for their supper. It's a fun episode to leave 2021 on, and we'll be back next year. Thanks for listening.
