It's a real clash of the titans this week in the Classic Albums studio - two totally gaga doyens of the homemade masterpiece and two dubious northern reviewers stroking their chins over them. So, will the honking, skronking pot-and-pans of Tom Waits get a thumbs up from Gary and will Stephen warm to the romantic fantasies of Kate Bush? Just fix yourself a sandwich, get into some loose-fitting trousers, and find out.

Two sides of the same coin this show: sunshine-spangled, country-flecked, guitar pop from the venerable indie kids Teenage Fanclub and odd clankings and backroad melodies from the strange and beautiful Jim White. We bring you the top 5 songs about Autumn (well, we try - well, one of us tries!) and discuss the oddest records in our already odd collection. All you have to do is get comfy and enjoy.

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.

So, in a fight between the street-ready, razor carrying Clash and the soft-centered, dewy-eyed Welsh wizards Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, who would come out on top? Is that like asking who'd win a war between the babies and the panthers? Tune in to the show and find out which band gets the most grooves and which the least boos. Also in this programme, as summer is here and the kids are alright we chinwag about the best summer songs and issue a fresh challenge familiar to regular listeners. The Classic Albums Podcast - never knowingly under-opinionated.

Sweep is a guest on the show and his squeaks of joy are a testament to the quality of the Classic Albums experience. We look at swearing in songs, listeners' failed excursions into the world of rock and pop and rules for gigs.

What more could you possibly want?

More views from the blog. More talking points. More top fives.

We really are the show that gives you more.

This week we look at Pearl Jam's 'Versus' and Ride's 'Carnival of Light'. Dan and Gary muse over a whole range of artforms in order to make a musical point and discuss food's relationship with the musical form.

See whatya think.

Also within this weeks cultural smorgasbord we have top five dance tracks and pop's top to toe; charting the body from the head to the soles of the feet.

Two albums from the 90's suggested by listeners of the podcast: This Mortal Coil's 'Blood' and Leftfield's 'Leftism'. Also on offer, 'a year in the life of rock' and opinions about rock, pop, indie and life in general.

Top five this week is âbest last trackâ. There is lots of action on the blog, recent listening favourites and the outcome of our competition to select an album from the 1990âs that Gary and Stephen havenât heard, but would like to review.

 Lots going on then.

FYI the email address given in the programme is slightly wrong. It should be classicalbumspodcast@hotmail.co.uk not .com. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Also discusssed: top songs and finest musical events.

Have a listen, see if you agree and let us know.

Will the chuntering continue, or will a third person ensure Stephen and Gary are on their best behaviour.

Listen in and find out.

Also under discussion 'Winter Warmers', songs to help you while away those long winter evenings. Contributions from the blog and details of Stephen's first gang.

Listen, laugh, learn?

Bloggers suggest super groups and the top five looks at tunes best listened to in the car. All in all, a top notch slice of geeky opinionated whinging.

All the usual features are here: Top Five this week is album artwork featuring the artist and this rubs shoulders with current listening favourites and the singles and albums that kicked off our music buying obsession.

Download. Listen. Enjoy.

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.

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.

The quiz continues to flummox, top five this week puts the boot into bands who hung around beyond their sell by date and the talking point looks for suggestions for bands with more fashion sense than musical ability.
