NOTHING ELSE MATTRESS. 100 GREATEST ALBUMS. EPISODE 8

When we have a special guest join us , its always nice if the guests taste in music aligns with some of the albums we review. Our guest on this episode was the singer/songwriter Chris Thomson. Friends Again & The Bathers are both wonderful bands, but difficult to pick up any elements of hip hop, hair metal or yacht rock in their songs! Unfortunately for Chris, on this episode we reviewed albums from Eric B/Rakim, Outkast, Steely Dan & Guns n Roses ( see above!). Thankfully, we also reviewed a classic live album from James Brown in 1963. The upshot of all this was that we voted three albums onto the 100 list, and two were dusty binned - which means we have now voted 23/40 onto our updated 100 album list. We also continued to educate our learned audience with trivia around band members sharing girlfriends, ( Guns N Roses, no surprise!) and how close Chevy Chase came to being the drummer of Steely Dan. No, really. Chris did at least get the opportunity to nominate his own favourite album for the list - and its an absolute belter.... The episode is long enough for at least 2 glasses of red wine..... Enjoy & stay safe. PS. The dog barks are courtesy of Hudson Davidson....
