On Every Street - Side B

We're going back in time. 41 years to be precise. And we're damn well staying there!!! It's not a single-artist catalogue this season, but the brilliant inception of this daring and radical format twist from Corey sees us covering 10 records from 1983. For your delectation this season we have... Sweet Dreams: Eurythmics Pyromania: Def Leppard Metal Health: Quiet Riot Sports: Huey Lewis and the News Lick It Up: Kiss Shout At The Devil: Motley Crüe Colour By Numbers: Culture Club She’s So Unusual: Cyndi Lauper Rebel Yell: Billy Idol The Great Kamikaze Syndrome: Slade What will Corey make of the synth-led pop stylings of Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox? Will Kev get over himself and just enjoy a bit of mindless hair metal? What is hair metal anyway? And are any of the bands in our list part of it?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and cry "More! More! 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/ultimatecatalogueclashThanks to our KoFi subscribers Ruddy Rutherford, Steve Ursell, and Josh Caldwell Hosted on Acast.

Look, we just need a last little bit of Knopfling before we close the book on Dire Straits and move onto Corey's mad idea to cover TEN (yes that's T.E.N.) albums by different artists in Season Five. Kev's pretty sure this is just Corey wanting to hang onto the season for as long as humanly possible but hey, it should be damn good fun!Before then, we decided to bring in the Quizmaster from last week, Michael J Smith to talk Live Dire Straits. We couldn't decide between the two major live releases before the band split, so we're covering all the official live releases! That's right, both Alchemy and On The Night are up for discussion, as well as the 1978-1992 boxset, and we're gonna be building our perfect Dire Straits live set! Will Corey include Twisting By The Pool? Will Kev stray a long way from his ten song selection from last week? And will Michael last a full episode having to put up with these two Canidiots?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and Knopfle a while!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, we're (almost) done folks! We brought in the Terror of Tulsa to help us wrap things up and it was a fun chat as always!Kev and Corey laid out their top ten from the season and we find out who we're covering for Season Five! A special thanks to our pal Michael J Smith for providing the trivia for this season and giving Kev one last chance to win a game in this goddamn series! But, will Kev be able to take Corey on in such a quiz? Who will win the battle to decide the Season Five music, and will the notable nudist be a fan of incessant Knopfling!?!The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get a shiver in the dark!NOTE: Scott has not morphed into a dalek, there was just a strange issue with his audio!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 over already!?!?!? Man, I was just starting to warm to this Mark Knopfler Guy! We plunged into some serious waters again for a spell this week, talked about douchebags and how we might resquence this final Dire Straits record to make it just a wee bit punchier. You know, because we definitely know better than one of the most gifted songwriters of all time. Does Corey run on heavy fuel? Has he read Martin Amis? What does Kev think of televangelists and will he close the gap on Corey as a consolation prize to end the season?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and run on heavy heavy fuel (the secret's in the cheese...)!Songs covered in this episode: "Heavy Fuel", "Iron Hand", "Ticket to Heaven", "My Parties", "Planet of New Orleans", "How Long"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/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

Put that hoe down, it’s a ho-down! We’re going country and we’re going country hard. We’ll take a couple of detours but it’s getting twangy folks! What will Kev make of a song about a phone call? Will Corey finally find that eggplant he’s been thinking of?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and start a-slippin' and a-slidin'!Songs covered in this episode: "Calling Elvis", "On Every Street", "When It Comes to You", "Fade to Black", "The Bug", "You and Your Friend"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/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

We're starting to get close to the finishing line on another season of The Ultimate Catalogue Clash. We're covering the heaviest song in the catalogue as well as one of the most jarringly different songs you'll find on a Dire Straits record! Can Side B live up to the monster hits on Side A? Will Kev make it through Brothers in Arms? Will Corey get over his vehement and entirely unreasonable hatred of reggae?!?!?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and please hear my confession.Songs covered in this episode: "Ride Across the River", "The Man's Too Strong", "One World", "Brothers in Arms"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/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

It's the big one folks! Is there a bigger album from 1985? No. The answer is no. Dire Straits were the biggest act on the planet, but after just over 240 live dates in eighteen months it basically made Mark Knopfler question what the hell they were doing it all for! Speaking of "what the hell are they doing it for?", Kev and Corey are back to talk about Side A of this gigantic album! It's a longer episode because there's lots to dig into in these five songs. Where will the boys land on "those lyrics", Will Corey dig a lullaby on a rock n roll record, and will Kev make up any ground in this season's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and do the song about the knife!Songs covered in this episode: "So Far Away", "Money for Nothing", "Walk of Life", "Your Latest Trick", "Why Worry"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/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

"Whoa, wait, what's this? This isn't the right album. I was expecting Brothers In Arms Side A today!" we hear you say. But due to Corey's persistant exclamations about Twisting By The Pool, Kev decided that they'd cover The irritatingly-named ExtendedancEPlay! This is a special one off episode however, that switches the format up a little and takes a leaderboard approach to ranking the songs from 1 to 4 on this EP! Will Corey love anything more than Twisting By The Pool, and will Dire Straits have any badges, posters, stickers, or T-Shirts to give away? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and meet new people at the disco!Songs covered in this episode: "Twisting by the Pool", "Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-Shirts", "Two Young Lovers", "If I Had You"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/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

Well, last week, Kev gave the first ten, ten, and five album side in the show's history so far on Side A. And Corey wasn't too far behind him! Can Dire Straits match the grandeur and intensity of Telegraph Road and Private Investigations? Will Kev enjoy the vibraphonic stylings of Mike Mainieri? Will Corey suffer from smoker's cough or brewer's droop? And will Side B score highly enough for Love Over gold to displace Invisible Touch as the highest ranked album so far?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and send in another victim of industrial disease.Songs covered in this episode: "Industrial Disease", "Love over Gold", "It Never Rains"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/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/USwNZNmpAnd if you want to support us, head over to our Ko-Fi account!https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Only two songs for you this week folks, but there's a whole lot to dig into here! We're taking a literary trip into the rise and fall of a community and then into the seedy filmic underbelly of the private investigator! Is there a side of any Dire Straits album that better defines Mark Knopfler's creative vision for the band? Will Corey love the scope of Telegraph Road? Will Kev have fond memories of this one?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and run every red light on memory lane.Songs covered in this episode: "Telegraph Road", "Private Investigations"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/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/USwNZNmpAnd if you want to support us, head over to our Ko-Fi account! https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.
