Underrated / Overhated

This episode I am joined by NancArtMusic - who you can find through the links below - about weird songs. Nancy is a self-appointed 'basic' person in terms of her music taste, so I figured I'd send her some strange stuff.

We all know and love Jim Steinman's music, even if we don't *know* we know and love his music. He was the man behind many great 70s and 80s hits, and he unfortunately died a few weeks ago. This is my tribute to the great songwriter and producer.

This episode, I talk with my friends James (sunderlorn on twitter), and we discuss:

- Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell

- Jim Steinman, Bad for Good

- Bonnie Tyler, Total Eclipse of the Heart

- Sisters of Mercy, Dominion

NOT FOR THE LACTOSE INTOLERANT

Now that you've been warned, it's time to dive into my defence of some of the cheesiest songs in pop - from the 60s to the 00s. All of the songs we cover are excellent, but they're certainly cheesy.

This episode I am joined by Will and Ash from the Listen2This podcast - find them wherever you listen to podcasts, and on Twitter @Listen2This_

The songs we talk about are:

- The Monkees, Goin' Down

- The Monkees, Randy Scouse Git

- Abba, SOS

- Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Want to Have Fun

- The Scissor Sisters. Take Your Mama

This is something of a special bonus episode in between longer episodes: I recently met someone... a bit of a freak of nature, if I may say... who doesn't like music.

Weird, I know! But, liking a challenge, I set upon trying to find some songs he would like - so in this episode I am joined by Jamie from the Mocking Jays Podcast (@iseejamie on instagram).

Check them out on Twitter and Youtube!

In this episode, we talk about:

- Warren Zevon, My Shit's Fucked Up

- Gladys Knight and the Pips, Midnight Train to Georgia

- Wilson Philips, Hold On

- Steve Hillage, Meditation of the Snake

Any long time listener to this podcast will know that I absolutely love the Beach Boys and the music of Brian Wilson. This is essentially my opportunity to talk at my guest about how they are the most misunderstood band in popular music.

My guest is Hamish from the STFU Dad music podcast (@silencefather on twitter) and I introduce him to some of my favourite Beach Boys tracks, and tell him some of the (weird and crazy) history of the band. If you're not already a fan, I'm sure much of it will surprise you!

This episode we talk about:

- All I Wanna Do (Brian Wilson and Mike Love - Sunflower)

- Feel Flows (Carl Wilson - Surf's Up)

- Slip On Through (Dennis WIlson - Sunflower)

- You Need a Mess of Help To Stand Alone (Brian WIlson and Jack Rieley - Carl and the Passions)

- Never Learn Not to Love - (Dennis Wilson... and a certain someone else - 20/20)

- And the entire Smiley Smile album!

The first in a series of episodes about songs that are right on that line between cute and cringe. This episode I am joined by my friend, Lotte and we talk about On Horseback, by Mike Oldfield.

Most famous for his debut album, Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield released this song as part of his Ommadawn album. It's a weird one, for sure - though the album is one of the best progressive rock albums ever!

This is the first of possibly many episodes about album covers - this time I am talking to Kevin and Mark from the Yes Music Podcast, who can be found here https://yesmusicpodcast.com/

We talk about:

Van Morrison - Hard Nose the Highway

Ryley Walker - Golden Sings that Have Been Sung

John Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow

Ben Craven - Great and Terrible Potions

Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Genesis - Nursery Cryme
