Sports - Side B

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? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and fly, thunderbird fly!Songs covered in this episode: "Breathless", "Run for Cover", "Battle Axe", "Let's Get Crazy", "Thunderbird"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.

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! Not Words", "Billy's Got a Gun"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, 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! (Till You Drop)", "Photograph", "Stagefright", "Too Late for Love", "Die Hard the Hunter"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.
