Discussing MJ’s seminal Thriller album. The best selling studio album of all time, heard by almost everyone; except Mark Howes who has somehow never actually bloody heard it before.

Toto get a few shouts out too, cos Mark would not shut up about them! Drop us an email: ratethegreatpod@gmail.com

This time round Mark and Saul discuss the relative merits of Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited, the middle album in the Highway 61 trilogy, considered the highlight of the three. Afterall the final chapter Highway 61: The Revenge, was broadly considered by critics to be a pitiful shadow of its predecessors which pretty much ruined the franchise.Turns out that once again Mark hadn’t heard one of the most influential records of the 20th century. So no surprise there, probably because it’s not by bloody Tool. Mark goes on about Mountain Goats, whereas Saul unveils his adoration of the band Joseph, who are bloody lovely people with some of the most gorgeous voices you’ll hear in your short lives. Saul has seen them perform live six times now and maybe an intervention might be required.Ask us questions, beg us to shut up, be nice, offer to do the artwork (to save us all from Saul’s terrible doodles).
