Ep. 36) Def Leppard - Hysteria

Over 20 million sold. One of the ultimate 80s hair metal albums. A monolith in the world of power metal. So much to enjoy by two muppets who have never given Def Leppard the appropriate listens. So what will two men of no consequence make of this terribly famous album? Well, come join the shout fest as they discuss who likes it less. We promise this isn't meant to be 'Two dudes don't care for many things'. Onwards and upwards!

Ep 35) Shania Twain - Come On Over

Oh yes, we're back in less than a month. And we're back with a previously advertised episode! We're talking about the late 90s Country Pop juggernaut called mercilessly 'Come On Over' by the musical tyrant Shania Twain. Come on over and here one presenter desperately tries to keep this ramshackle pod a bit less ramshackle than it needs to be. Come and listen to the other presenter give up on all semblance of trying to discuss the album and curl up into a ball of hate. It's certainly an episode, we promise you that.

Pop Tarts) Stuart Maconie - Ciders With Roadies

Welcome to Pop Tarts, Men of No Consequence's lovely bonus show, which comes at no extra cost to you dear listener. Here's the scoop, Adam loves a good music biography, auto or otherwise. Pop Tarts offers us an insight into his opinions on these tomes. On the second edition of this thriving spin-off series, Adam has brought radio favourite Stuart Maconie's 'Cider With Roadies'. 'Cider with Roadies is the true story of a boy's obsessive relationship with pop. A life lived through music from Stuart's audience with the Beatles (aged 3); his confessions as a pubescent prog rocker; a youthful gymnastic dalliance with northern soul; the radical effects of punk on his politics, homework and trouser dimensions; playing in crap bands and failing to impress girls; writing for the NME by accident; living the sex, drugs (chiefly lager in a plastic glass) and rock and roll lifestyle; discovering the tawdry truth behind the glamour and knowing when to ditch it all for what really matters.' https://www.waterstones.com/book/cider-with-roadies/stuart-maconie/9780091897451 [https://www.waterstones.com/book/cider-with-roadies/stuart-maconie/9780091897451] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ep 34) Donald Fagen - The Nightfly

The debut solo album by Steely Dan co-creator Donald Fagan. Lauded for its crisp digital precision, sentimental and satirical lyrics, it remains a darling of the audiophiles. So what are we going to make of some razor-sharply produced bossa nova, calypso, disco, R&B, lounge music? Join Us. Come on y'all we're going to have a wing ding!
