Life affirming rock takes on the ultimate break up album when Stephen and Gary discuss classic albums by AC/DC and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Will there be more ranting or will the podcast studio be a picture of calm agreement?

Another countdown is suggested by podcast devotees 'Rock the Week' looks for song titles about days of the week. Can we make it from Monday to Sunday without Stephen mentioning either The Wedding Present or Belle & Sebastian?

Tune in and find out.

Two very different albums this week. Guitar driven kitchen sink drama from the Wedding Present's 'George Best' pitted against Bjork's dance beat driven pop on 'Debut'. One receives praise, the other a drubbing. But which is which?

We have 'A day in the life of rock', with a timeline stretching from dawn til dusk and beyond. The top five this week features songs about death and neither Stephen or Gary can keep their list within the specified number. This is probably an indication of their morbid musical proclivities.

A "rawk" special this issue as Gary and Stephen consider the old skool merits of Led Zeppelin's 1973 offering Houses of the Holy and the new-skool barking-mad-a-thon of The Pixies' poppy swansong Trompe le Monde. We also get to hear the Top 5 songs with girl's names in the title and as much partisan and jaundiced opinion  in half an hour as anybody should ever need.
