This week, Mike and I willingly put our musical reputations on the line by listening to albums from The Cult, Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, Anne-Marie, Pink Floyd, Starsailor, The Horrors, Lloyd Cole and Placebo… and, somehow, we’re still talking to each other! 😂🎶

As always, we listened, scrutinised, debated, praised, questioned, disagreed, changed our minds (occasionally!), and probably confused ourselves a few times along the way.

What we didn’t expect was that we’d end up learning even more about each other’s personalities than the music itself. It turns out you can tell a lot about someone by the albums they love… and the ones that make them stare blankly into the middle distance wondering, “What on earth am I listening to?” 🤣

A huge thank you to Ian Lindley for recommending the Leonard Cohen album. We genuinely appreciate every recommendation… although we’re still not entirely sure whether Ian was being kind or just wanted to see us argue! 😉 Thanks, Ian!

So… were these albums musical masterpieces, hidden gems, or ones we’d quietly leave on the record shop shelf? There’s only one way to find out.

🎧 Give the episode a listen, then let us know where you agree, where you think we’ve completely lost the plot, and—most importantly—which album we should force each other to listen to next!
