Unsung Podcast

If you know it, you know it. But if you don't know it, should you? Does this death metal classic deserve a place in the discography of all time classic albums? Or is has the much imitated sound been improved upon by others?

Harp powered prog-esque folk is the aim of the game this week, and Joanna Newsom's lush, spacious, ambitious 'Ys' is often considered to be a staggering piece of work. Should it be in our discography though? Only you can tell us.

Alan McGee likes this record, apparently. Which, depending on your opinion, either says it all or says nothing at all. You can listen to what we have to say and decide. We heard he sometimes talks about a really famous band he discovered once...

AV Club called this record "trip-hop's crowning achievement" and really, who are we to argue? 'Endtroducing' is perhaps one of the most influential electronic and hip hop records ever written. But not all of us see it that way, so strap in for lively discussion on this episode of Unsung.

Some argue that 'Violator' is some of the best work Depeche Mode has ever produced. Others beg to differ. With a catalogue of 14 albums, we ask if this record is the clearest representation of a legendary band with a storied career.

The Foo Fighters' first record is the sound of a man who just had a bunch of songs he felt people needed to hear. Is it their best album? It's something we talk about in depth on this episode.

Jane Doe by Converge is widely hailed as one of the best hardcore records ever made. On this episode we discuss its legacy, and ask if it's worthy of such high praise.

In episode one of Unsung our hosts dissect Idlewild's major label debut 'The Remote Part' and discuss why it should or should not be kept in a discography of great records.

This is a teaser for Episode one of the Unsung Podcast. Chris, David and Mark will discuss the ins and outs of Idlewild's major label debut 'The Remote Part' and then you guys will decide if it deserves to be inducted into our discography of amazing records. The show launches on December 15th 2017.
