    Guest: Jonathan Horst | Jack J - Blue Desert

    On the special episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam are joined by guest Jonathan Horst. Our former colleague at the office, Jonathan brought with him Jack J's second album, "Blue Desert", released in November 2024. A mix of musical sounds that are reminiscent of a number of genres popular between the mid 80s and the mid 90s, the album is skilful at sounded upbeat while having somewhat downbeat lyrics. This album also features some great saxophone, which is a podcast favourite. Come along as the boys chat with our friend Jonathan and find out whether they are "Wrong Again" or just "Born Without a Smile".

  3. One of the Best Selling Albums of All Time | Green Day - Dookie

    One of the Best Selling Albums of All Time | Green Day - Dookie

    On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Jamie's next pick, Green Day's "Dookie". Released in 1994, it is way up there on the list of the best selling albums of all time. Their major label debut, it came out of the gate strong and was amplified by an absolutely unhinged appearance at Woodstock '94. Critics have said this album marks a turning point in the 90's, moving music away from the grunge sound from the early part, to a more pop-punk sound in the later half. We've already covered four albums that came out in 1994, Live's "Throwing Copper", Weezer's "Blue Album", The Offspring's "Smash" and Nas' "Illmatic", but what will the boys think of this one? Will they be "Having a Blast"? Come along and find out!

The runaway success of the album was propelled by two of the singles, Trouble and Yellow. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album at the 2002 ceremony, and has gone on to sell upwards of 13 million copies. But is the album a brilliant first release from a band, or a boring one? What is a Coldplay? Join the boys as they delve into these questions and more!

    Our Greatest Greatest Hits | blink-182, Engelbert Humperdinck, Patsy Cline

    On this special episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam dive into the topic of greatest hits, best ofs and other compilations! Bell brings blink-182's "Greatest Hits", their first such compilation, released in 2005. A fun, often goofy release from the masters of pop-punk, it came out two years after their fifth album. Adam's pick, Engelbert Humperdinck's "20 Great Hits", released in 1977, raises two questions. Firstly, what constitutes a "great hit"? Second, what is a "middle of the road balladeer"? The boys grapple with both questions. Finally, Jamie's pick, Patsy Cline's "Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits", is a brief exploration of Patsy Cline's unfortunately short music career. Will this episode be our greatest hit? Come along and find out!
