I'm glad that we are aligned on my favourite Bond theme & some tracks that I'd definitely include in my best of the year compilation. 1987 was a great year for music. Listen now! #1987

Excellent pod & great choices. I think I'm on Team Tracey for the Smiths 'Last Night' intro. A build up of utter despondency. I'd consider 'Sign Your Name', 'Build', 'Labour Of Love', 'Bridge To Your Heart', 'Dinner With Gershwin', 'No Memory', 'Paid In Full', 'House Arrest' in mine.

Top notch as ever. Have to say I'm with Tracey re Def Leppard. I'd struggle to give them even one point.

Nice episode y’all. Ticked a lot of big 87 boxes - REM, U2, Anthrax, Dead Can Dance (nice Vampire shout out too!). Agree with Ian about how great Brendan’s voice is - one of my favourite singers. As I think I promised before Tracey, next time I see you I’ll do my Scott Ian mosh.

Have a listen to this unique take on the music of 1987. Pretty diverse as you can see!

I'm very much looking forward to this one.

Excellent episode. What a great year 1987 was a lot of my favourites included. The FNM track a particular highlight, we all love Chuck!

Feeling quite smug about this after listening to the episode.

A pleasant pint by the sea with the wonderful @wedigmusic.bsky.social in my ears taking me back to 1987. Happy Sunday folks!🌞🍏

Cannot think of a better way to spend your Sunday morning. Go listen BlueSky

Loved this. I was a callow 22 in 1987.

🤣 Looking forward to listening. Always a joy.

All valid reactions! :)

Our best of 1987 episode is out now wherever you get your podcasts! Theres a lot of goth, some sparkly pop, industrial, thrash metal, hip hop, indie, and even a bond theme! #podcasts #bestof1987 #rickastley #thecure #anthrax #aha #deadcandance #rem #death #defleppard #TheWeddingPresent #thesmiths

This is going to be a banger. What a year. There are no wrong answers

A bit late replying but before tomorrow’s pod release. The Cure could win (again) and maybe should. Think you all might like the Goat song (new to me). Would love the Sisters to win, and there’s a chance. Here’s my best of 87 tape (singles only) made at the time. Only match A-ha but I bought PWEI.

Our new episode is out now! This month comedian, dj, tv presenter, and bloke who was on Celebrity Coach Trip, Matt Richardson joins us to talk about Kerrang's Best of 2005 cd, which includes #NineInchNails #FallOutBoy #Blink182 #CoheedAndCambria #AlkalineTrio #Rammstein #GreenDay etc! #musicpodcast

Huzzah! Can’t wait to hear it!

It was on @ineeddirection.bsky.social 's "just missed" list...

Being serious, I would have to include 'What Have I Done to Deserve This?', 'Wishing Well', 'True Faith', 'Pump Up the Volume' as essential to 1987 (even though I didn't appreciate the latter at the time), plus 'Got My Mind Set On You' for personal reasons (George was back, this made me happy! 😎).

Usual wide variety - Luka still hits, Pastels is an underrated gem, Prince, Fleetwood Mac, Public Enemy, Pixies, Smiths all great… maybe the Cure. 🤷‍♂️ As always the fun is in the surprises, arguments & inevitable slaggings.

Some big ones there for me. At that time I was Anthrax’s biggest fan, and then Joshua Tree became my favourite album (still is), and then I would get obsessed by the Pixies who would become my favourite ever band. So, yeah, I couldn’t choose…

Great FNM, Poppies and Sisters choices

We're recording our best of 1987 episode this afternoon (if @ineeddirection.bsky.social eventually finds her way here!) Here's the playlist we'll be discussing. As always, what do you think will win, what do you think SHOULD win, & what have we missed? open.spotify.com/playlist/7H6... #musicpodcast

Actually listened to one reasonably quickly after release! Very happy that Richard Dawson went down well - would have been deeply upsetting if it got a slating

I can confirm as well as being motivational for the gym that the Barbarians of California also add some pep to the housework. I achieved the task of making the flat look marginally less shit that it did an hour ago with a hardcore spring in my step 🤘

Three different albums one very interesting discussion…and my Sunday listening now sorted. Another enjoyable podcast from @wedigmusic.bsky.social

Well this is splendid news to wake up too!

Two thirds of your intrepid podcast team are currently at The Worst Music Venue In The World© to see the utterly brilliant @magdalenabay.music-social.com (who are fantastic enough to make up for it being at Birmingham Academy!)

That’s great. It was also the @wedigmusic.bsky.social team who got me into them as well, with one of their early episodes. Gradually bought the whole back catalogue, and seen them live a few times, and now one of my favourite bands. The power of the WDM podcast!

music.apple.com/gb/album/a-d... Really enjoyed listening to this band today. Thanks to @wedigmusic.bsky.social for introducing me. You should all like trains now.

Always difficult to predict your 70’s sweet spot, outside of a Sabbath track. Maybe Sparks will do well? Will be interesting to find out next month.

Red Sparrowes track is very cool too. @wedigmusic.bsky.social

That Linkin Park track is gorgeous too.

#nowplaying That track from Ben Folds is fucking cool

Always worth a listen. A show that always gets me into new stuff and does occasionally cost me money as I go and buy stuff off the back of it. #musicpodcasts #podcasts

Huzzah! Looking forward to this one!
