Have you ever heard The Simpsons Sing The Blues? There's a song where Marge wants to build the Springfield Blues and makes a recipe for it.

Well, you get this.

Check it out if we should spin it or bin it!

It's 1975, and Burton Cummings has had enough of The Guess Who, until he hasn't later in the 21st Century.

Except Iggy.

In the 80's, nearly everything was coming up Motley Crue , but then the 90's happened.

And it all started going downhill, a poorly received singer swap, a flubbed reunion, and a double flubbed record.

See what happens next as Nik and Duncan tuck in.

What happens when Sepultura heads down a Fudge Tunnel?
