Ultimate Catalogue Clash

Our second KoFi member selection covers the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne and his killer 1991 record, "No More Tears". Get ready for songs about creepy dudes, hellraisers, zombies, and yo momma! There's pinched harmonics for everyone and lots of love for one of the grandaddies of heavy metal! All thanks to our pal Ruddy Rutherford for sending this one to us! The question is, how much will we love it? Will Kev be into a song about Aston Villa? WilL Corey like ballads closing both sides of a heavy metal album? And will the heads be bitten off any bats?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and come and sit upon my knee!Songs covered in this episode: "Mr. Tinkertrain", "I Don't Want to Change the World", "Mama, I'm Coming Home", "Desire", "No More Tears", "S.I.N.

My oh my. What a wild ride we have in store for you. We all know that it's not Christmas until Noddy Holder screams the fact into your ear, but what else do Slade have in store for us? Kev's pretty sure that Corey only picked 1983 for this season so he could talk about Run Runaway, but will he give it a 10, 10, and 5? Will Kev believe in woman? And what shenanigans does he have planned for this album's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and slam the hammer down!Songs covered in this episode: "Slam the Hammer Down", "In the Doghouse", "Run Runaway", "High and Dry", "My Oh My", "Cocky Rock Boys (Rule O.K.)"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Nine down, one to go! That's right. We've idolized Billy (kinda, sorta) and tucked Rebel Yell neatly into the "finished' box. Side Bs this season have typically not fared as well as Side As, but Billy's only top ten single in the US from this record is on this side! So can album number nine crack the top three records we've covered this season? How is Kev's Star Wars knowledge? And will Corey be on board with a song about prank calling?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and catch my fall.Songs covered in this episode: "Flesh for Fantasy", "Catch My Fall", "Crank Call", "(Do Not) Stand in the Shadows", "The Dead Next Door"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Get that top lip curled, bleach your locks and prepare yourself for some sneering, swaggering rock n roll. Kev's seen Billy live. Corey hasn't. Thankfully, Mony Mony isn't on this album, so Kev doesn't have to listen to the ridiculous Canadian response to the chorus lyrics! But will Steve Stevens' guitar stylings tickle Kev's fancy? Will the lower-key stuff work for Corey? And what on earth will the game be this week?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and cry more, more, more!Songs covered in this episode: "Rebel Yell", "Daytime Drama", "Eyes Without a Face", "Blue Highway"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Another album down and only two to go! We wrap up She's So Unusual by covering Side B and talking about an eclectic bunch of songs that don't all land for Corey and Kevin, but they're a little ways apart on a couple of these tracks! What will Kev think of Cyndi going vaudeville? What will Corey make of a two-tone/ska/reggae song? And will Side B be able to match the quality of Side A overall?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and hope He↑ will understand!Songs covered in this episode: "She Bop", "All Through the Night", "Witness", "He's So Unusual", "Yeah Yeah"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

In 1983, two young women emerged from the New York music scene and blazed their way into the popular music. Madonna's self-titled debut went 5 times platinum and this week's album, "She's So Unusual", went 5 times platinum. Madonna went from strength to strength and became a cultural icon, while Cyndi carved out a niche in the alternative music scene with brief daliances with the top ten over the subsequent decades. But, will Corey be as much a fan of this one as Kev was going in? Will the album stack up for Kev under the unforgiving format of the show? And what will this week's game throw up?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and come over and eat!Songs covered in this episode: "Money Changes Everything", "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "When You Were Mine", "Time After Time"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Well then, Kev is down in Four-Way-Stop-Burn helping Corey with a quiz, even though he knows Corey could have done it on his own with no problem and just needed an excuse to get Kev out of the keep, across the moat, and across his substantial lands, to hang out with him. After a great few hours raising money for the Weyburn Theatre, we convened to the centre of the CMPU to listen to music, marvel at the sheer scale and depth of Corey's collection of movies, music, and memorabilia and hey, look, we're fifty year old white dudes; of course we're gonna record our conversation and force it onto you lovely people! If you have a few spare dollars that you can part with, the Weyburn Theatre is a fantastic community initiative that's worth backing!

We're back, with our lip gloss, our braids, and our fingerless gloves! We had a bit of a mixed bag on side one, so how is side two gonna pan out? Will there be a huge banger? Will there be a huge clunker? Will Corey lose his shit if the fat lady sings too much again? And Corey throws Kevin a curveball in the Colour By Numbers game, so how will the 4'5" Englishman respond?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and be more than just kind!Songs covered in this episode: "Church of the Poison Mind", "Miss Me Blind", "Mister Man", "Stormkeeper", "Victims"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

We cover the second side of Motley Crue's 1983 "classic" (?), Shout at the Devil. Side A was a mixed bag with an instrumental, a Beatles cover, and a lead track that Corey is a fan of. Kev, a little bit less so... but will he find some gems hidden on Side B of this record? Will Corey feel the Danger? And how will the train wreck of this season's game go this week?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and don't pull my trigger!Songs covered in this episode: "Red Hot", "Too Young to Fall in Love", "Knock 'Em Dead, Kid", "Ten Seconds to Love", "Danger"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Two nuns are driving down a dark road when the devil jumps on the hood of their car. “Quick, show him your cross!” the nun who's driving says. The other nun rolls down her window, sticks her head out and shouts, “Get the fuck off my car you dickhead!” Today we're also shouting at the devil with a band of misfits and ne'er do wells; Mötley Crüe! Will Kev get through another glam/hard/hair metal album unscathed and what will he make of the Crue's version of Helter Skelter? Will Corey be a fan of this record lyrically and will "God Bless the Children of the Beast" pass muster?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and go back to the top of the slide.Songs covered in this episode: "In the Beginning", "Shout at the Devil", "Looks That Kill", "Bastard", "God Bless the Children of the Beast", "Helter Skelter"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

It's a wrap! Well, on this album anyway. Kev finds a Kiss song that he really rather likes and the boys discuss the relative merits of the Gene "trilogy" of songs that closes out this album. What will Kev be licking? Will Corey rate side B higher than Side A and will Vinnie Vincent actually play something worth listening to? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and tell it to the people right now!Songs covered in this episode: "All Hell's Breakin' Loose", "A Million to One", "Fits Like a Glove", "Dance All Over Your Face", "And on the 8th Day"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Well, well, well. Kev never thought he'd be podcasting about Kiss! We're going paintless and probably, at some point, pantless, as we dig into one of the most over-the-top bands of all time. But will Kev find a single second of Kiss that he can enjoy? Will Corey enjoy the aggressive vocal stylings of Gene Simmons, and will Kiss be able to pull it off (or lick it up) without all that iconic facepaint?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and gimme more!Songs covered in this episode: "Exciter", "Not for the Innocent", "Lick It Up", "Young and Wasted", "Gimme More"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Well, that's the Sports all sorted out and not a hint of a diss track anywhere to be seen! We're getting a cover of a Hank Williams song, a single that saw a radio edit applied, and the band's third consective number 6 single from the album! But can Side B of Sports live up to a strong Side A for Kev and Corey? Will Corey appreciate the juxtaposition of dark lyrics and light bouncy pop melodies and will Kev claw back some of the points he's lost so far this season in the episode-end game? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and just say so.Songs covered in this episode: "Walking on a Thin Line", "Finally Found a Home", "If This Is It", "You Crack Me Up", "Honky Tonk Blues"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Well, well, well. We're heading into the land of horns and swing and a vocalist who just wasn't cutting it for record execs because his voice wasn't that strong.... Shows exactly how much record execs know! We're talking groove, we're talking hearing loss, and we're talking Sports! Will Corey enjoy the switch away from metal and hard rock? Will Kev manage to bamboozle Corey with this week's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and do a half a million things, all at a quarter to three!Songs covered in this episode: "The Heart of Rock & Roll", "Heart and Soul", "Bad Is Bad", "I Want a New Drug"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Oh boy. I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything. It's getting more and more Tap-ish every week around here! We talk about the most comically earnest and spectacularly misguided tribute song of all time and Kev is turning Japanese (we really think so!). But, will Corey be able to salvage anything from the ashes of Side A? Will Kev be impressed by a cheap Eruption knockoff? And will the boys be able to get through Thunderbird with a straight face?

Metal health will drive you mad!!! Or, it might cure your crazy... we're getting mixed messages this week from the humble, very shy frontman of Quiet Riot, Kevin DuBrow. It's an all out frontal assault of guitars, drums, bass, and Kevin DuBrow. But what will Kev think of a cover of a beloved Slade tune? Will Quiet Riot be able to withstand the loss of Randy Rhoads in Corey's eyes? And what nonsense will Kev have for us in this week's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and band your head.Songs covered in this episode: "Metal Health", "Cum On Feel the Noize", "Don't Wanna Let You Go", "Slick Black Cadillac", "Love's a Bitch"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

It's the very first of our Ko-Fi Member Selections and first up, from our good pal Ruddy Rutherford, is Therapy?'s 1994 release, Troublegum. The album was shortlisted for the 1994 Mercury Music Prize and is brand new to both Corey and Kev, so it was a brand new, fresh listen for both chaps! But what will Kev like a cover of a Joy Division song? Will Corey's North American rock sensibilities be challenged by a band from Norn Ireland? And where will the album finish in our overall rankings?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and forget about that!Songs covered in this episode: "Knives", "Screamager", "Hellbelly", "Stop It You're Killing Me", "Nowhere", "Die Laughing", "Unbeliever", "Trigger Inside", "Lunacy Booth", "Isolation", "Turn", "Femtex", "Unrequited", "Brainsaw"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Corey is still reeling from Kev's score for Side A but at least the boys have the betting system for the game sorted out now. Right??? Corey loves a song about erectile dysfunction but will he be anamoured of a song Joe Elliott dismissed out of hand? Will Kev find anything positive to say about any of the songs on Side B and will we still have a podcast after this episode???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and make it electric!Songs covered in this episode: "Foolin'", "Rock of Ages", "Comin' Under Fire", "Action!

Well, the day has finally arrived. Kev can't duck it any longer. Corey is making him listen to Def Leppard critically and putting aside all his previous biases to the best of his ability. There's plenty chat about harmonies and whether you should let a drummer with functional arms actually use them, or whether you should bypass him entirely and outsource his job to a computer. Will Corey's nostalgia carry the day and what will Kev think of the lyrical content of this side of the record? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and rock til you drop!Songs covered in this episode: "Rock! Rock!

Side A was a bit of a mixed bag, so can Dave and Annie turn the boys around and bump their overall standing up a little? We start this side of this record with one of the most instantly recognizeable songs of all time. The rest, I bet most of you have never heard! Will Kev be consistent on his cricitism of repetition, especially in season 3? Will Corey last 'til the end of the side with barely a guitar being plucked? And will Kev finally crack the code to winning at his own game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and almost hear them breathing.Songs covered in this episode: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", "Jennifer", "This Is the House", "Somebody Told Me", "This City Never Sleeps"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!!! Are you ready to jingle your bells? Are you ready to roast your chestnuts? Are you ready to twist your sister??? We're ranking the tracks on an album that no-one asked for, but Twisted Sister delivered anyway! That's right, it's A Twisted Christmas and we're all over it, under it, and around it. But how will our two intrepid podcasters feel about an album full of Christmas songs by a hard rock/glam metal outfit? Will it get the thumbs up, or will Kev and Corey think that "This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?"The only way to find out is to come ye to Bethlehem!Songs covered in this episode: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Oh Come All Ye Faithful", "White Christmas", "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Silver Bells", "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow", "Deck the Halls", "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)", "Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas)"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Unplug those guitars, grab your synthesizers and head into the avante garde world of dark electro pop. There's a manequin head involved in this week's episode that's really upset Corey and his family. We talk about virtuosos we've covered on this show to this point and if there are any coming up this season. We also discover the new game format that Kev has dreamed up. Unfortunately, he REALLY hasn't thought it through so thank gods Corey is around to sort it all out! Will Corey be on board with Dave Stewart's electro-noodling? Will Kev quit touching himself, despite numerous requests for cessation from Corey? And what will the boys make of the most different album side they've covered to date?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and stumble in the debris.Songs covered in this episode: "Love Is a Stranger", "I've Got an Angel".

We're going back in time. 41 years to be precise. And we're damn well staying there!!! It's not a single-artist catalogue this season, but the brilliant inception of this daring and radical format twist from Corey sees us covering 10 records from 1983. For your delectation this season we have... Sweet Dreams: Eurythmics Pyromania: Def Leppard Metal Health: Quiet Riot Sports: Huey Lewis and the News Lick It Up: Kiss Shout At The Devil: Motley Crüe Colour By Numbers: Culture Club She's So Unusual: Cyndi Lauper Rebel Yell: Billy Idol The Great Kamikaze Syndrome: Slade What will Corey make of the synth-led pop stylings of Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox? Will Kev get over himself and just enjoy a bit of mindless hair metal? What is hair metal anyway?

Look, we just need a last little bit of Knopfling before we close the book on Dire Straits and move onto Corey's mad idea to cover TEN (yes that's T.E.N.) albums by different artists in Season Five. Kev's pretty sure this is just Corey wanting to hang onto the season for as long as humanly possible but hey, it should be damn good fun!Before then, we decided to bring in the Quizmaster from last week, Michael J Smith to talk Live Dire Straits. We couldn't decide between the two major live releases before the band split, so we're covering all the official live releases! That's right, both Alchemy and On The Night are up for discussion, as well as the 1978-1992 boxset, and we're gonna be building our perfect Dire Straits live set! Will Corey include Twisting By The Pool? Will Kev stray a long way from his ten song selection from last week?

Well, we're (almost) done folks! We brought in the Terror of Tulsa to help us wrap things up and it was a fun chat as always!Kev and Corey laid out their top ten from the season and we find out who we're covering for Season Five! A special thanks to our pal Michael J Smith for providing the trivia for this season and giving Kev one last chance to win a game in this goddamn series! But, will Kev be able to take Corey on in such a quiz? Who will win the battle to decide the Season Five music, and will the notable nudist be a fan of incessant Knopfling!?!The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get a shiver in the dark!NOTE: Scott has not morphed into a dalek, there was just a strange issue with his audio!Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

It's over already!?!?!? Man, I was just starting to warm to this Mark Knopfler Guy! We plunged into some serious waters again for a spell this week, talked about douchebags and how we might resquence this final Dire Straits record to make it just a wee bit punchier. You know, because we definitely know better than one of the most gifted songwriters of all time. Does Corey run on heavy fuel? Has he read Martin Amis? What does Kev think of televangelists and will he close the gap on Corey as a consolation prize to end the season?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and run on heavy heavy fuel (the secret's in the cheese...)!Songs covered in this episode: "Heavy Fuel", "Iron Hand", "Ticket to Heaven", "My Parties", "Planet of New Orleans", "How Long"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

Put that hoe down, it's a ho-down! We're going country and we're going country hard. We'll take a couple of detours but it's getting twangy folks! What will Kev make of a song about a phone call? Will Corey finally find that eggplant he's been thinking of?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and start a-slippin' and a-slidin'!Songs covered in this episode: "Calling Elvis", "On Every Street", "When It Comes to You", "Fade to Black", "The Bug", "You and Your Friend"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

We're starting to get close to the finishing line on another season of The Ultimate Catalogue Clash. We're covering the heaviest song in the catalogue as well as one of the most jarringly different songs you'll find on a Dire Straits record! Can Side B live up to the monster hits on Side A? Will Kev make it through Brothers in Arms? Will Corey get over his vehement and entirely unreasonable hatred of reggae?!?!?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and please hear my confession.Songs covered in this episode: "Ride Across the River", "The Man's Too Strong", "One World", "Brothers in Arms"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

It's the big one folks! Is there a bigger album from 1985? No. The answer is no. Dire Straits were the biggest act on the planet, but after just over 240 live dates in eighteen months it basically made Mark Knopfler question what the hell they were doing it all for! Speaking of "what the hell are they doing it for?", Kev and Corey are back to talk about Side A of this gigantic album! It's a longer episode because there's lots to dig into in these five songs. Where will the boys land on "those lyrics", Will Corey dig a lullaby on a rock n roll record, and will Kev make up any ground in this season's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and do the song about the knife!Songs covered in this episode: "So Far Away", "Money for Nothing", "Walk of Life", "Your Latest Trick", "Why Worry"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

"Whoa, wait, what's this? This isn't the right album. I was expecting Brothers In Arms Side A today!" we hear you say. But due to Corey's persistant exclamations about Twisting By The Pool, Kev decided that they'd cover The irritatingly-named ExtendedancEPlay! This is a special one off episode however, that switches the format up a little and takes a leaderboard approach to ranking the songs from 1 to 4 on this EP! Will Corey love anything more than Twisting By The Pool, and will Dire Straits have any badges, posters, stickers, or T-Shirts to give away? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and meet new people at the disco!Songs covered in this episode: "Twisting by the Pool", "Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-Shirts", "Two Young Lovers", "If I Had You"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

Well, last week, Kev gave the first ten, ten, and five album side in the show's history so far on Side A. And Corey wasn't too far behind him! Can Dire Straits match the grandeur and intensity of Telegraph Road and Private Investigations? Will Kev enjoy the vibraphonic stylings of Mike Mainieri? Will Corey suffer from smoker's cough or brewer's droop? And will Side B score highly enough for Love Over gold to displace Invisible Touch as the highest ranked album so far?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and send in another victim of industrial disease.Songs covered in this episode: "Industrial Disease", "Love over Gold", "It Never Rains"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/USwNZNmpAnd if you want to support us, head over to our Ko-Fi account!https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Only two songs for you this week folks, but there's a whole lot to dig into here! We're taking a literary trip into the rise and fall of a community and then into the seedy filmic underbelly of the private investigator! Is there a side of any Dire Straits album that better defines Mark Knopfler's creative vision for the band? Will Corey love the scope of Telegraph Road? Will Kev have fond memories of this one?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and run every red light on memory lane.Songs covered in this episode: "Telegraph Road", "Private Investigations"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/USwNZNmpAnd if you want to support us, head over to our Ko-Fi account! https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

English poet, journalist and literary critic James Fenton once stated that “A cabaret song has got to be written - for the middle voice, ideally - because you've got to hear the wit of the words. And a cabaret song gives the singer room to act, more even than an opera singer.” Words that I think our hero this season, Mark Knopfler took to heart when penning one of the songs on Side B of Dire Straits' third album, Making Movies. But what will Corey think of that abrupt and very hard left turn into the world of the Munich gay scene? Will he take to a return to a slower pace on Hand in Hand, will Kev make any more spurious claims about lyrics based on his complete misreading of a very clear musical reference? And most importantly, will Corey stump Kev during Money For Nothing?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get a little risqué!Songs covered in this episode: "Expresso Love", "Hand in Hand", "Solid Rock", "Les Boys"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

“Give me my Romeo, and, when I shall die,Take him and cut him out in little stars,And he will make the face of heaven so fineThat all the world will be in love with night,anyway, what you gonna do about it….?”This is part of Juliet's monologue in act 3, scene 2 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet which premiered in 1597, as abridged by Mark Knopfler, 383 years later, in 1980.Will Corey dig the change of pace? Will this be Kev's highest rated album side this season? Will David Knopfler be missed?

The pace finally picks up for Corey as we're reminded of the Sultans. We head back to London for a walk down the market streets and we get to use the word "circumnavigation". Will Kev have any issues with cake mixture? Will Corey have heard of the Cutty Sark and will he care at all about it if he hasn't?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and turn up for the boots now...Songs covered in this episode: "Once Upon a Time in the West", "News", "Where Do You Think You're Going?", "Communiqué"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

Shit's about to get weird! Like, Buffalo Bill weird. Not "Hmm, that's a little strange". I mean, just look at the title of track three! Knopfler's journalist trilogy is broken up by one the most menacing songs ever recorded, but what will Corey think of it? This is an album that Kev knows the least from the first five records, so will he be as keen on it as he was the debut? Will Corey conoquer his middle-age ennui? Will Kev think of a single damned interesting thing to say in the episode notes???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get a bullet in the chest.Songs covered in this episode: "Once Upon a Time in the West", "News", "Where Do You Think You're Going?", "Communiqué"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

This week's episode kicks off with a tent pole song in the history of rock n roll. One of two such songs in this catalogue! When an awkward looking fella wearing a headband gets up and starts playing Chet Atkins style guitar in the era of punk and heavy metal, how in the green shit is that going to be received? Only four songs in this week's episode and it's the London quadrilogy. Will Kev be taken back to his time living in the English capital? Will Corey understand all these gibberish limey references?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and check out guitar George (he knows-all the chords).Songs covered in this episode: "Sultans of Swing", "In the Gallery", "Wild West End", "Lions"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

What is a Knopfler? How does one Knopfle? Does one need any special equipment to do it? Are there any qualifications required??? Look, this is an avenue of inquiry that needs to be explored, but perhaps now is not the time. We're kicking off this season with plenty of guitar brililance and some low-key vocal performances. We're also getting a little shit-kicky and twangy here and there. Kev brought this band to the podcast, so he's ready to play the Strait man in this double-act, but will Corey be on board with a step back from the heavier stuff we've spent the last few months covering? Will he be wowed by the best-named drummer in rock history? Will he find nice things to say about John Illsley?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and quite your messing around.Songs covered in this episode: "Down to the Waterline", "Water of Love", "Setting Me Up", "Six Blade Knife", "Southbound Again"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

All the late night bargains have been struckBetween the satin beaus and their bellesPrehistoric garbage trucksHave the city to themselvesYear Two, Season Four. It's time to take side step from the heavier stuff and get into the colours and shapes that Mark Knopfler and the rest of Dire Straits bring to the musical landscape. Five albums in seven years and then a six year gap until their final record saw Dire Straits release some of the most iconic songs of the 80s. Is there a riff that defines that decade more than Money For Nothing? Is there a more instantly recognizeable keyboard intro than Walk of Life? Maybe a little 1984 synth intro from a band Corey knows well, but besides that, probably not! Will Kev go under a 5 on the Haskin Scale for any song in this catalogue? Will Corey's ear bend to the finger-picking style of the band's unlikely headband-sporting frontman?

“The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” - Thus spake the Bard, William Shakespeare, but I wouldn't pay too much attention to old Bill, he couldn't even spell his own name properly, so quite why we should listen to any of his opinions about Foo Fighters' 2006 Live album Skin and Bones is quite beyond me! For this final, bonus, episode in Season Three, we're joined by the one and only Mark Camire, Corey's co-host on his flagship show; And The Podcast Will Rock! We get into Mark's background with the Foos and plenty of depth about the performances on Skin and Bones. Should the show open with Razor? Are there any songs missing? Do all the electric songs work as acoustic numbers? And will Corey finally come around to Friend of a Friend?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and watch me spin!Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

The late great Stephen Hawking once said “I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.” Well Steve, some say that it's yet to appear on this podcast, but tonight, we have a third party who might bring the intelligence quotient up. We're joined once again by our good pal; author, songwriter, musician, and podcaster extraordinaire, Scott K Haskin! Scott was listening to the Foo Fighters for the very first time and we're not really sure we've converted him! We dig into our thoughts about the catalogue, we have some excellent trivia courtesy of the wonderful Adam Janis, and we discover which artist we'll be covering on Season Four of the Ultimate Catalogue clash! Who will it be?

The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus once ruminated that "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." Also, no Foo Fighter ever steps foot in the same studio twice during the making of their eighth studio album, Sonic Highways, for they are not in the same city and it is not the same song! This week we're off to Joshua Tree, New Orleans, Seattle, and New York. We're definitely gonna rack up the air miles, but will the final song of this season resonate with Kev, and what will Corey think of Joe Walsh turning up in a Foo Fighters' song?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get outside.Songs covered in this episode: "Outside", "In the Clear", "Subterranean", "I Am a River"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

“He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.” And that's according to mythical nutcase Moses who had a very famous temper and a pretty good knack for portage! The Foos are hitting the road. 8 songs, 8 cities, 8 studios. It's their eighth album. Get it?

The brilliant Stephen Hawking once said “The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.” So essentially, what he is saying is that the long an artist's career goes on, the more it degrades until finally, you find yourself recording country albums and doing duets with someone called Jellyroll. Good point that Steve. Great observation! But, will it be true for the Foo Fighters? Will Dave ever learn to walk again? Will Kev ever get a single guess right in The Best of You and what will Corey think of violins and mellotrons and accordions (oh my!) on a Foo's song?

Legendary Welsh poet Dylan Thomas once opined that “When one burns one's bridges, what a very nice fire it makes.” And maybe this was the inspiration for the lead off track from 2011's Wasting Light, which I'm sure Corey has researched extensively before tonight's recording, given his love of Welsh poetry and Welsh culture in general… We get shouty Dave, melodic Dave, and wistful Dave, all on the same side of this record. But will Corey get stuck in the Habitrail? Will Kev be on board with Dave singing about Virginia AGAIN and will we ever find out what the hell is wrong with psycho Rosemary???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and take a ride somewhere.

It's plenty of firsts this week. The first Foo Fighters' instrumental, Dave's first piano song, and the first time we hear accordion on a Foo's song! We also get guitar solos on half the songs as Shifty takes centre stage. Is Dave finally stepping away from his habit of repeating a single line? Will side two live up to side one for Kev? Will Corey get tangled up in the clarity of Dave's lyrics?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, turn out all the lights and go to bed.Songs covered in this episode: "Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)", "Summer's End", "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners", "Statues", "But, Honestly", "Home"If you want to hear our edit of "Home", you can check that out here: https://youtu.be/8yATabc-99IDon't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

In Stranger Things, Jonathan Byers posits “You shouldn't like things because people tell you you're supposed to.” Well, I tend to agree, unless it's your mom telling you you're really gonna like this new song by the Foo Fighters that she's been listening to…This is the album that was Kev's introduction to the Foo Fighters and Corey only knows three songs from it. Is the balance of acoustic and rock going to work for the latter and is nostalgia going to rose-tint Kev's glasses on this one?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get up to shut it down.Songs covered in this episode: "The Pretender", "Let It Die", "Erase/Replace", "Long Road to Ruin", "Come Alive", "Stranger Things Have Happened"If you want to see Kev's lockdown cover of "Long Road to Ruin" that he recorded with this wife's cousin, you can check that out here: https://youtu.be/_2kdfB-CMZADon't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

14th-century English philosopher and theologian William of Ockham's famous philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction and both theories have equal explanatory power one should prefer the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions. But what hypothesis would Big Bad Bill have about why Kevin is so crap at our Ultimate Catalogue Clash side games? Hypotheses a) Kev's throwing the game because he likes being the underdog, unlikely, he's a competitive little toad and we'd have to assume he actually knows the answers, b) Corey is cheating, also unlikely as Corey is far too principled and decent a man to do that, and Kev can see him on the other side of the screen… c) Corey just has a better mind for working these things out. As we can see from these three scenarios, Occam's razor definitely guides us to the logical conclusion that Corey is cheating. Will Corey find more variety and something to love on the second acoustic side and will Kevin close the gap in The Best Of You after trouncing Corey last week?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and high dive into your brain.Songs covered in this episode: "Over and Out", "On the Mend", "Virginia Moon", "Cold Day in the Sun", "Razor"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

The late, great Audrey Hepburn once said “I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. Especially when they're included on rock n roll albums from the mid 2000s” Well Audrey, that's an interesting perspective and we hope that we agree when we get to The Miracle on this side of In Your Honor.

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about Side B of In Your Honor. We're including the UK/Japan/Vinyl/iTunes bonus track for this episode, so we're not ending with End Over End. So, despite all our complaining about natural end points, we're blowing right on by this one, but hey, we saw the sign! It opened up .... Corey's already told me off for using that lyric so I won't repeat it. Will Kevin be a fan of blues and blacks? Will Corey extend his already almost unassailable lead in The Best Of You?
