Over 20 million sold. One of the ultimate 80s hair metal albums. A monolith in the world of power metal. So much to enjoy by two muppets who have never given Def Leppard the appropriate listens. So what will two men of no consequence make of this terribly famous album? Well, come join the shout fest as they discuss who likes it less. We promise this isn't meant to be 'Two dudes don't care for many things'. Onwards and upwards!

Oh yes, we're back in less than a month. And we're back with a previously advertised episode! We're talking about the late 90s Country Pop juggernaut called mercilessly 'Come On Over' by the musical tyrant Shania Twain.

Come on over and here one presenter desperately tries to keep this ramshackle pod a bit less ramshackle than it needs to be. Come and listen to the other presenter give up on all semblance of trying to discuss the album and curl up into a ball of hate. It's certainly an episode, we promise you that.

Welcome to Pop Tarts, Men of No Consequence's lovely bonus show, which comes at no extra cost to you dear listener.

Here's the scoop, Adam loves a good music biography, auto or otherwise. Pop Tarts offers us an insight into his opinions on these tomes.

On the second edition of this thriving spin-off series, Adam has brought radio favourite Stuart Maconie's 'Cider With Roadies'. 'Cider with Roadies is the true story of a boy's obsessive relationship with pop. A life lived through music from Stuart's audience with the Beatles (aged 3); his confessions as a pubescent prog rocker; a youthful gymnastic dalliance with northern soul; the radical effects of punk on his politics, homework and trouser dimensions; playing in crap bands and failing to impress girls; writing for the NME by accident; living the sex, drugs (chiefly lager in a plastic glass) and rock and roll lifestyle; discovering the tawdry truth behind the glamour and knowing when to ditch it all for what really matters.'

The debut solo album by Steely Dan co-creator Donald Fagan. Lauded for its crisp digital precision, sentimental and satirical lyrics, it remains a darling of the audiophiles. So what are we going to make of some razor-sharply produced bossa nova, calypso, disco, R&B, lounge music? Join Us.

Come on y'all we're going to have a wing ding!

Well, that return last year didn't turn out quite like we planned but we're back now baby! As we promised nearly 10 months ago we're aptly back talking the juggernaut that is AC/DC's 'Back in Black'. One of the top-selling albums of all time and the band's first album after the death of front-man Bon Scott, there's much to play for here.

Adam and Mike, sit down to unpick the album's deep penetrating metaphors. What could the band be saying? Something about death? Something Brian Johnson's Johnson? Penis pleasure? Tallywackers? Tallywackers played by guitars? What could they mean? Join us once more as we work it all out.

It's good to be back.

Welcome to Pop Tarts, Men of No Consequence's lovely bonus show, which comes at no extra cost to you dear listener.

Here's the scoop, Adam loves a good music biography, auto or otherwise. Pop Tarts offers us an insight into his opinions on these tomes.

For the first installment he has picked Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club drummer Chris Frantz's autobiography 'Remain in Love: Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Tina'. By the sounds of it, the man loves his wife, good for him.

We may have re-branded but there's the small matter of finishing off work started on The Listening Party. Welcome to part two of our dive into the James Bond themes, taking us from the mid-1980s to the present day. Come hear tales of drunk brummies getting boozed with John Barry, Pierce Brosnan's contractual tomfoolery, Scott Walker's chastisement of the Bond producers, and Mike's miscomprehension of how Christmas works. If you'd like to keep up with what we're talking about, here's the tracklist:

• Duran Duran - 'A View to a Kill'
• a-ha - 'The Living Daylights'
• Gladys Knight - 'Licence to Kill'
• Tina Turner - 'Goldeneye'
• Sheryl Crow - 'Tomorrow Never Dies'
• Garbage - 'The World is Not Enough'
• Madonna - 'Die Another Day'
• Chris Cornell - 'You Know My Name'
• Jack White & Alicia Keys - 'Another Way to Die'
• Adele - 'Skyfall'
• Sam Smith - 'Writings on the Wall'
• Billie Eilish - 'No Time to Die'

Like the caterpillar going through a metamorphosis to become the butterfly. Or Megatron being transformed into Galvatron by Unicron. 'The Listening Party with Adam & Mike' has been away so it can come back as something greater...

After months spent in rooms with marketers, ad agencies, gurus, and the wealth of a small nation being spent on fees behold...

'The Opinions of Men Of No Consequence', we remain Men Of No Consequence and we're still providing context, thoughts, and wheel spinning as part of the deal. In this return ep, Adam chooses something outside his wheelhouse. 2006's theatrical rock behemoth 'The Black Parade' by My Chemical Romance.

Duh, duh, bwommp. Duh, duh, bwommp. Duh duh de duh duh! Bwom, bwom, bwom, bwom.

Silhouettes of ladies (probably naked).

Guns, guns, guns! Gunsight, man in a suit, bang, blood everywhere.

It’s Bond, everyone!

Join Adam and Mike as they manoeuvre their way through ignorance (Adam’s), geopolitical insensitivity (The entire franchise’s), and horns (John Barry’s). It’s volume one of a bumper two part Bondathon and what a mixed bag is here! From Britain’s Sinatra to America’s other Sinatra; from Wales’ Bassey to Wales’ Tom Jones. They’re all here! (Plus Sheena Easton and Lulu).
