5 DAYS AGO

What d'ya mean 1994 was 30 Years Ago?

In which our hero talks nonsense about his favourite records from 1994 I have absolutely no idea how 1994 is suddenly 30 years ago. I see 1994 as my default setting, the time when I woke up and became conscious....like Neo in The Matrix but less Jesus-y Anyway, I have a theory that 1994 is the core year for where my record collection or musical tastes really become concrete....things I like I'll listen to forever and perhaps more importantly, the things I don't become more certain. In today's show I go through 30 albums that turn 30 years old this year and try and explain why some of them have stuck for so long. -------------------------- Find the Records & Band blog at Substack https://itsonlyrobjones.substack.com/ And see what I'm showing off from my record collection on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/recordsandbandsradio/ Get full access to Records & Bands at itsonlyrobjones.substack.com/subscribe

"I Got A Problem....This Infernal Love"

In which our hero talks nonsense about Infernal Love by Therapy? I remember going to sixth form college in September 1995, I left less than a year later with no extra qualifications but a lasting love for this band that the were on the shirts of the tough boys in the year above...Therapy? On the podcast today I speak about the 5th album from Northern Ireland band Therapy? and their follow up to the massive Troublegum....1995's Infernal Love I'll be getting into my thoughts on the record as it approaches it's 30th anniversary, see how it stands against the other Therapy? albums and hear some thoughts from the band that I found kicking around the world wide web Finally I'll go through a few categories to try and give it a "proper review", see where I left it in my "Greatest Albums of All Time Ever" list and choose the best track on the album ------------------------------------------- Find the show including some track selections over on Mixcloud Find the Records & Band blog at Substack And see what I'm showing off from my record collection on Instagram ------------------------------------------- Get full access to Records & Bands at itsonlyrobjones.substack.com/subscribe

Review: How To Make Friends and Influence People

In which our hero talks nonsense about Terrorvision's sophomore album, How to Make Friends and Influence People. Full Show including my favourite songs from this album on Mixcloud Today we're looking at an album, and a band that are quite difficult to stick in a box...they're a very British band but definitely not Britpop, their records came out at the same time as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and all those Seattle bands but they're certainly not grunge... they've toured with Def Leppard, played Festivals alongside Metallica and Marilyn Manson and headlined some of the country's finest venues over the last 30 odd years proving that sometimes, all you need... is some massive riffs, some big hooky choruses and a bunch of lads from Bradford bouncing around like Zebedee. Lots going on over on the Records & Band blog at Substack And see what I'm showing off from my record collection on Instagram Get full access to Records & Bands at itsonlyrobjones.substack.com/subscribe

The Greatest Albums in the History of the World*

In which our hero talks nonsense about his favourite albums of all time and plays some tracks from a few of them Listen to the complete show with all the tunes over on MIXCLOUD Best of lists. Top 100s. Top 5 guitarists you never heard of, Greatest bands in the history of the universe and time and space and whatever....the internet is full of lists and a lot of the time it's always the same records, by the same bands and artists and I rarely listen to any of them So I sat down to make my own list of 25 which quickly became 50, then 60 and finally after about 15 minutes I stopped on 108. You won't find many of them in the Rolling Stone Top 500 or a Kerrang Top 50 but they're a good representation of the music that gets me going. See the full list on the Records & Band blog at Substack And see what I'm showing off from my record collection on Instagram Please consider listening on Mixcloud for the full show AND all the bonus playlists and mixtapes I can share on that platform...loads going on over there.
