Sam is a 40 something who likes The Doors. He doesn't like the 80s. For him, there's a period of time - starting on 12th Sept 1975, and ending on 2nd May 1989 - that he dismisses outright, music-wise. Charlie is his mate who can't lie down and let this unhealthy view remain unchallenged. Sam and Charlie are old friends, old bandmates and new nemeses. If you can bear the pain, join our two music lovers on a voyage of discovery, obstinacy and outright idiocy. Warning: this podcast contains almost no correct factual information. It does contain ridiculous opinions and a healthy dose of swearing.

After Sam's dad suggested Dare! - The Human League's 1981 Magnum Opus - was the album he considered most accurately represented The Wilderness Years, it was only a matter of time before our hosts took it on.
With a pretty much entirely synthesised backing, mixed gender vocals, and a sense of drama usually more at home onstage at the National Theatre all signs point to this being the one that finishes Sam off.
Not even sure he'll make it past the first song.
