Well, well, well. Kev never thought he'd be podcasting about Kiss! We're going paintless and probably, at some point, pantless, as we dig into one of the most over-the-top bands of all time. But will Kev find a single second of Kiss that he can enjoy? Will Corey enjoy the aggressive vocal stylings of Gene Simmons, and will Kiss be able to pull it off (or lick it up) without all that iconic facepaint?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and gimme more!

Songs covered in this episode: "Exciter", "Not for the Innocent", "Lick It Up", "Young and Wasted", "Gimme More"

Well, that's the Sports all sorted out and not a hint of a diss track anywhere to be seen! We're getting a cover of a Hank Williams song, a single that saw a radio edit applied, and the band's third consective number 6 single from the album! But can Side B of Sports live up to a strong Side A for Kev and Corey? Will Corey appreciate the juxtaposition of dark lyrics and light bouncy pop melodies and will Kev claw back some of the points he's lost so far this season in the episode-end game?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and just say so.

Songs covered in this episode: "Walking on a Thin Line", "Finally Found a Home", "If This Is It", "You Crack Me Up", "Honky Tonk Blues"

Well, well, well. We're heading into the land of horns and swing and a vocalist who just wasn't cutting it for record execs because his voice wasn't that strong.... Shows exactly how much record execs know! We're talking groove, we're talking hearing loss, and we're talking Sports! Will Corey enjoy the switch away from metal and hard rock? Will Kev manage to bamboozle Corey with this week's game?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and do a half a million things, all at a quarter to three!

Songs covered in this episode: "The Heart of Rock & Roll", "Heart and Soul", "Bad Is Bad", "I Want a New Drug"

Oh boy. I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything. It's getting more and more Tap-ish every week around here! We talk about the most comically earnest and spectacularly misguided tribute song of all time and Kev is turning Japanese (we really think so!). But, will Corey be able to salvage anything from the ashes of Side A? Will Kev be impressed by a cheap Eruption knockoff? And will the boys be able to get through Thunderbird with a straight face?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and fly, thunderbird fly!

Songs covered in this episode: "Breathless", "Run for Cover", "Battle Axe", "Let's Get Crazy", "Thunderbird"

Metal health will drive you mad!!! Or, it might cure your crazy... we're getting mixed messages this week from the humble, very shy frontman of Quiet Riot, Kevin DuBrow. It's an all out frontal assault of guitars, drums, bass, and Kevin DuBrow. But what will Kev think of a cover of a beloved Slade tune? Will Quiet Riot be able to withstand the loss of Randy Rhoads in Corey's eyes? And what nonsense will Kev have for us in this week's game?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and band your head.

Songs covered in this episode: "Metal Health", "Cum On Feel the Noize", "Don't Wanna Let You Go", "Slick Black Cadillac", "Love's a Bitch"

It's the very first of our Ko-Fi Member Selections and first up, from our good pal Ruddy Rutherford, is Therapy?'s 1994 release, Troublegum. The album was shortlisted for the 1994 Mercury Music Prize and is brand new to both Corey and Kev, so it was a brand new, fresh listen for both chaps! But what will Kev like a cover of a Joy Division song? Will Corey's North American rock sensibilities be challenged by a band from Norn Ireland? And where will the album finish in our overall rankings?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and forget about that!

Songs covered in this episode: "Knives", "Screamager", "Hellbelly", "Stop It You're Killing Me", "Nowhere", "Die Laughing", "Unbeliever", "Trigger Inside", "Lunacy Booth", "Isolation", "Turn", "Femtex", "Unrequited", "Brainsaw"

Corey is still reeling from Kev's score for Side A but at least the boys have the betting system for the game sorted out now. Right??? Corey loves a song about erectile dysfunction but will he be anamoured of a song Joe Elliott dismissed out of hand? Will Kev find anything positive to say about any of the songs on Side B and will we still have a podcast after this episode???

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and make it electric!

Songs covered in this episode: "Foolin'", "Rock of Ages", "Comin' Under Fire", "Action! Not Words", "Billy's Got a Gun"

Well, the day has finally arrived. Kev can't duck it any longer. Corey is making him listen to Def Leppard critically and putting aside all his previous biases to the best of his ability. There's plenty chat about harmonies and whether you should let a drummer with functional arms actually use them, or whether you should bypass him entirely and outsource his job to a computer. Will Corey's nostalgia carry the day and what will Kev think of the lyrical content of this side of the record?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and rock til you drop!

Songs covered in this episode: "Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)", "Photograph", "Stagefright", "Too Late for Love", "Die Hard the Hunter"

Side A was a bit of a mixed bag, so can Dave and Annie turn the boys around and bump their overall standing up a little? We start this side of this record with one of the most instantly recognizeable songs of all time. The rest, I bet most of you have never heard! Will Kev be consistent on his cricitism of repetition, especially in season 3? Will Corey last 'til the end of the side with barely a guitar being plucked? And will Kev finally crack the code to winning at his own game?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and almost hear them breathing.

Songs covered in this episode: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", "Jennifer", "This Is the House", "Somebody Told Me", "This City Never Sleeps"

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!!! Are you ready to jingle your bells? Are you ready to roast your chestnuts? Are you ready to twist your sister??? We're ranking the tracks on an album that no-one asked for, but Twisted Sister delivered anyway! That's right, it's A Twisted Christmas and we're all over it, under it, and around it. But how will our two intrepid podcasters feel about an album full of Christmas songs by a hard rock/glam metal outfit? Will it get the thumbs up, or will Kev and Corey think that "This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?"

The only way to find out is to come ye to Bethlehem!

Songs covered in this episode: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Oh Come All Ye Faithful", "White Christmas", "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Silver Bells", "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow", "Deck the Halls", "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)", "Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas)"
