Its episode 40 of Broken Records so how appropriate that Steve and Remfry return to one of their least favourite eras for guitar-based music, an era where the prefix ‘The’ was king (or Queen but let’s face it … mainly king). Melodia is the fourth studio album by Australian alternative rock band The Vines, a band who were signed to Capitol Records on account of frontman Craig Reynolds’ personality (what a great thing to put money behind!)

Album sessions for Melodia lasted one week and yielded 25 songs! Based on the 14 that made the record, almost all of them were crap. Maybe they should have simply re-named the album ‘That’ll do’ because that seems to be the attitude that has prevailed for this entire record. But, where will it rank in our Top 40 Broken Records list?
