Finally, our Unsung 80’s special, as promised many weeks ago. In this show we review John Martyn’s early jazz-rock 1980 shot-across-the-bows Grace & Danger (suggested by listener Bingham ) and the angry politics of The The’s 1989 late-flowering, Mind Bomb (suggested by listener Hugh). All this and the Top 5 songs associated with Art, a Miles Davis mistake to please the pedants, romantic notions about far-away places and yet again, matching trousers!

The 90's was the ample mother of a range of styles and genres and this issue Gary and Stephen bring you their take on the punky britpop of Supergrass' dayglo debut I Should Coco and Kim Deal of the Pixies' stylish bubblegrunge side-project, Last Splash with her mainly female offshoot, The Breeders.

Which one, in the opinion of the Classic Albums Podcast's corduroy boys is 'too varied' and which 'not varied enough'? All this plus a top 5 to match the recent summer deluge, the aridity of the current music scene and the results of our 80's challenge. Better value than cheese at fourpence.
