1996 - they seem to recognize that the programme was dying rapidly at this point.

This is the first one I have decided to separate into two listening sessions. First hour is basically Melody Maker and Paul Desmond anecdotes, which have become a podcast within a podcast now.
However, both Neil and Sarah are great value because they go into a lot of depth and argue a point to its conclusion whereas Taylor and Simon would just make an assertion that you could either take or leave.
One problem though is that 4 hours will exhaust a lot of material that could have been saved for future use. It's not a sustainable format in fallow chart years but I think 1996, to be fair, was perhaps the last year where some things in the charts felt new. OTOH this was also when singles entered high then dropped like a stone so did not have time to register in the memory.

I cannot believe the disrespect applied to The Hooters in this episode. Unacceptable. The greatest 80s band from Philadelphia ever and one of the few decent contributions white people from Pennsylvania have ever made to popular music.
And lumping Pearl Jam and Staind together is an egregious error.Last edited by Hot Pepsi; 04-12-2018, 18:14.

Hall & Oates had their biggest hits in the 80s in the UK. Infact they had only one chart entry in the 70s, which reached #42.

I see. Fine. Then the Hooters are the second best 80s band from Philadelphia (though I actually like The Hooters better). Number three is Tommy Conwell & The Young Rumblers. Fourth is The Dead Milkmen.
But the Hooters are, probably, the best all-white band from Philadelphia to chart in the 80s with songs featuring the melodica.Last edited by Hot Pepsi; 04-12-2018, 20:15.

Sister Sledge, Maze featuring Frankie Beverley, The Delfonics, The Stylistics, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, The Three Degrees, Labelle, and The Delfonics are all from Philadephia. As are The Roots. Does any US city have such a huge imbalance in the quality of its black and white music?

I love these nuanced claims. How about Steven Seagal is the best Jewish-dutch american martial arts movie star to be born in lansing michigan in 1952.

But I just can't think of any other white bands from Philadelphia. There are some. They just haven't made any impression.
Likewise, if we look Pennsylvania-wide, the only white acts that anyone else likely has heard of are Poison (yeah, that one. Mostly from Mechanicsburg, as I recall), OHW Dan Hartman (RIP), Rusted Root, and Donnie Iris.
