It's only week 3 and already our random number selector has decided to throw us straight to the top of the charts, with the classic 1971 album "What's Going On?" from Marvin Gaye. A Motown legend, taking on the new decade with a change of direction that challenged his record label and ended up becoming widely regarded as the best album ever made.

We also got the chance to force Miles in to listening properly to David Bowie for almost the first time, and enjoying the irony that his voice barely appears on the record.

Join us every week to discover how we got on listening to what Rolling Stone Magazine consider to be the best albums ever made.

Next week... Destiny's Child and Nine Inch Nails.

This week the random album generator threw up (or perhaps spewed out!) two artists that don't have much in common, apart from both being debuts. Probably fair to say that one of them has had a deeper social and cultural impact, but the Sex Pistols are also referenced occasionally!

What is the correct pronunciation of Bon Iver? Is it a good idea to be afraid of death by bear when songwriting? What is the full title of the Sex Pistols album?

Find out the answers to this and more in The Apollo Audio Podcast. It's not deep, but it is quite interesting.

Our random album generator clearly has a sense of humour, pitching us straight in by putting together two artists that historically have a bit of beef but also easing us in gently with artists we are certainly familiar but perhaps not through these albums.

Also by sheer coincidence, these are both artists 4th studio offerings and both declared them as their pop crossovers. Did we agree? Can Billy ever forgive Tay for We are Never Getting Back Together?
