26. John Lennon- Plastic Ono Band (1970)

What is there to say about the incredible Plastic Ono Band from John Lennon? Well, apparently there's a lot. Henry and Davis dive into the intense, uncomfortable, but overall extremely rewarding album that is John's 1970 opus.

We're back!!! In our first "normal" episode since May, we discuss Ringo's 2nd solo album, the underrated country gem, Beaucoups Of Blues.

BONUS: You Am I- Hourly, Daily (1996)

23. The Beatles albums ranked

Our final episode discussing the music of the Beatles and could there be a more fitting way to send it off than by ranking their studio albums from worst to best!? Plus we've prepared a little surprise...

22. The Beatles- Past Masters Vol 2

Our final episode discussing Beatles songs that we haven't previously discussed!! We discuss all the Beatles singles between 1965 and 1970 and very much struggle to figure out what our own top 3s! Our next episode will The Beatles albums ranked so if you would like to send us through your own personal ranking of their albums, we would greatly appreciate it for our attempt to collate the general consensus Beatles album ranking!

21. The Beatles- Past Masters Vol 1

We finally get to discussing the Beatles' many non-album singles! We have split up our discussions of the singles in the same way they were split up for the Past Masters compilations in 1988 so please enjoy our discussion of all the Beatles' non-album singles between 1962-1965!

20. The Beatles- Let It Be (1970)

The final Beatles album!! Insane how quickly that has gone by, but yes in this episode we discuss the Beatles final studio album, Let It Be! We dive in track by track and discuss one of the most contentious albums in the band's discography. Oh, and Davis goes on a large rant about the other mixes of the album. To Let It Be or to Let It Be Naked? That is the question.

19. Paul McCartney- McCartney (1970)

In this episode we discuss the first solo album from Paul! We dive into the mastery of 'Maybe I'm Amazed', shine a light onto some of the more underrated songs on the record including the outtakes, and whether or not 'Singalong Junk' should've been included or not.
