Each episode focuses on a single year picked at random. At the end of each episode they pick their personal favourites and the album they think had the most long-term impact on music. Can you guess which albums they will pick?

Customer Reviews
Wonderful
As nerdy as can be, hilarious & joyfully nostalgic - unmissable
The prog morcambe and wise
Just joking very quirky and good chemistry
Incredible Breadth of Knowledge
As a fan of Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness in their various musical identities, I was drawn to this podcast as an old Prog Rock fan. Didn’t expect the vast scope of their musical tastes and discussions but the podcast definitely better for it. Love the banter between them and has got me listening to albums I would never have bothered with or heard about. Don’t always agree (Steve Hillage’s Rainbow Dome Musick isn’t music) but mostly do (completely concur with their view on Stone Roses).
I’ve got lots of editions still to listen to so my musical education will continue…..
