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.

Ocean Rain by Echo & The Bunnymen - I Heard Cabbage, Parsnips I Think
After the abject failure to change Sam's opinion of The Wilderness Years on last week's show with the 80s pop behemoth that is ABC's Lexicon Of Love, perhaps a subtler approach might see more success. So it is we go in this time with an indie-pop landmark album. Stars of a burgeoning Liverpool scene at the beginning of the 80s, Ian McCulloch and his band Echo & The Bunnymen, channelled The Doors and The Velvet Underground, and would influence a whole generation in both style and substance, including fans Radiohead, The Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire.
This has got to work right?
Well, let's see...
