  • 78 - 67. Covers vs Originals - Part 3

    In this show, we aim to determine which type of song rules supreme: The Cover or The Original! Does writing the music and lyrics grant you immortality in having come up with the initial work? Or is it how you take those lyrics/music and develop it into something special that matters more? In our next battle of the 'Covers vs Originals' war, we take a look at 4 more covers chosen by ourselves and our listeners and discuss & debate whether it is better than the original. And so continues the game for many 'Cover vs Original' episodes to come to determine… which is better - the cover or the original? Going in to Part 3 -  Covers: 10 Originals: 6 This episode: 1.

  • 77 - 66. 'Who's Next' - The Who (1971)

    'Rock Ain't For Keeping' The Who cemented themselves as one of the most iconic and important Hard Rock bands with their 5th album, 'Who's Next'.

Bringing a host of progressive and innovative features to the forefront - such as the use of synthesisers and electronic effects, continuity of conceptual themes/lyrics, dynamic songwriting - all mixed with raw Hard Rock energy proved that The Who were the best in class at the beginning of the 70s, leading from the front in the development and progression of Hard Rock!

  • 76 - 65. 'Permanent Waves' - Rush (1980)

    'The Freedom Of Music' Rush's 7th studio album, 'Permanent Waves', marked a departure from their earlier sound and embraced a more diverse musical palette. Incorporating synthesisers more heavily and refining songs into simpler structures with a more radio friendly accessibility, Rush changed their own trajectory and gained many new fans/plaudits from this release. Whether you're a die-hard Rush fan or discovering 'Permanent Waves' for the first time, join us as we dive into Rush's most successful album (up to that point) and explore the fine balance achieved between Progressiveness and Accessibility coupled with Peart's traditional lyrics commenting on society and freewill.

  • 75 - 64. 'Absolution' - Muse (2003)

    Episode 64 - 'Praise For Absolution' Muse's third album, 'Absolution', presents us with everything that worked for 'Origin Of Symmetry', but elevated to the next level! The genius of Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme is on display as electronic soundscapes, symphonic elements and classically inspired passages are combined with Hard Rock to give us this innovative record that didn't necessarily introduce new musical concepts, but helped redefine the possibilities within Alternative Rock. Join us as we reflect on the legacy of 'Absolution' and its impact on Muse's career and how they established and implemented a signature sound whilst combining so many musical elements!

  • 74 - 63. Must The Show Go On?

    Are Holograms and Avatars the future of live music?  Last year, KISS announced that they would "live on eternally" through their brand new avatars who would take over the roles of KISS from their human counterparts and opened up a world of touring and viewing options for them. ABBA successfully executed the Voyage tour - using 160 cameras to capture facial expressions and body movements to simulate a real show. Meanwhile Dio, Tupac and Zappa's deaths did not stop them from touring- as their holograms were tested with real live bands backing them to, again, try to simulate a real show. In this episode, we debate and discuss in great depth the pros and cons of all of the experiments listed above, try to ascertain whether or not this tarnishes or furthers a legacy and ask ourselves: Would we go to a virtual gig?
