Irreverent and occasionally profound music chat from 2 middle-aged English chaps who happen to be almost lifelong friends.
Each episode, they dissect and reflect on an album from Apple Music's Top 100 Albums list and contrast this with the album occupying the same berth in Rolling Stone Magazine's equivalent list. For those who don't know, Apple's list is famous for it's unsentimental and future-forward stance while RS is more representative of the old guard. Sometimes the juxtaposition is hilarious, sometimes jarring, but always interesting.
While paying scant attention to facts and evidence, our heroes draw on a lifetime's love of music, both as fans and sometime musicians themselves, to draw some fresh conclusions and observations. All served with a hefty dollop of whimsy, a side serving of offbeat humour and a pinch of surreality.

We begin our countdown in earnest at no 100 on Apple Music's Top 100 albums - Robyn's "Bodytalk" where tear-soaked dancefloors and her idiosyncratic quirkiness abounds.
What will our middle-aged heroes make of this? And what tenuous threads will they pull when it comes to contrasting it with Rolling Stone's number 100 album "Music From Big Pink" by the Band?
Only one way to find out dear listener...
