This week, we dive deep into the best selling album from the godfather's of Nu-Metal, Korn. 'Follow The Leader' was a cross-over success thanks to its more polished sound and infamous music videos being played non-stop on MTV's TRL. The band streamlined their songs making them more pallatable, all whilst keeping the raw emotion from the previous albums. 2023 also marks the 25 year anniversary of this monsterous album. Seems fitting that we add it to the list of our classic albums!

ah Rolling Stone... You sure know how to screw up a list.
Josh and Simon dive into Rolling Stones '100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of All Time' list. Josh was sick for the recording, hence why he messed up claiming some of the bands weren't on the list when they actually were. As a fun little game, Simon decided to have a guess at what Rolling Stone had put as their top ten, as he had not seen the list beforehand. Will they agree with Rolling Stones list? No. No they wont...
Also, excuse the glitch near the begnning of the episode. Seems the comptuer hated the list as much as we did...
Check out the full list on spotify as Rolling Stones website is horrid.
