Ultimate Catalogue Clash
Introducing 1983
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!"

9. Three Snakes and One Charm - Side B
01:41:48||Season 7, Ep. 9Side A scored really highly, but can Three Snakes and One Charm do enough on Side B to crack the top ten? We're taking a whole bunch of different sonic paths again as the Black Crowes put us through our paces. But will Corey dig the hippy vibes on How Much for Your Wings? Will Kev have anything to say about a distinctly familiar lick in Better When You're Not Alone? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and bring on this flowering!Songs covered in this episode: "(Only) Halfway to Everywhere", "Bring On, Bring On", "How Much for Your Wings?", "Let Me Share the Ride", "Better When You're Not Alone", "Evil Eye"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/mz9ymTwSSE
8. Three Snakes and One Charm - Side A
01:40:47||Season 7, Ep. 8Delta Blues legend Blind Charlie Jones once famously said “A pawnshop is a place of wonder, a magical place full of possibility and dreams. Until you walk in there for the first time carrying your guitar.”"Just what in tarnation does that have to do with Three Snakes and One Charm boy?!" I hear you ask as you suck on your cornstalk balls deep in your first cousin... Well, the closer on this side of the Black Crowes fourth album has the word pawnshop in the title and is part of the narrative of the subject of that story! But, will the six minute closer drag on and on for Kev and will Corey be able to handle the straight up weirdness of Nebakanezer?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and pay some attention to me!Songs covered in this episode: "Under a Mountain", "Good Friday", "Nebakanezer", "One Mirror Too Many", "Blackberry", "Girl from a Pawnshop"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/mz9ymTwSSE
7. amorica. - Side B
01:43:04||Season 7, Ep. 7Today we wrap up the Black Crowes third album, amorica. It's a mixed bag for Corey, we talk about one of the more unusual songs in this catalogue, we ruminate on just how high Chris Robinson potentially was during the writing of some of the lyrics on the record and we reveal which album will be covered on the next Kofi episode! But the questions you have to ask yourself are these; will Corey feel a sense of urgency in track 2, will Kev go higher or lower on this side of the album and will whoever is making that rank cheesy foot smell in the lab next door please stop it!The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and have mercy baby!Songs covered in this episode: "P. 25 London", "Ballad in Urgency", "Wiser Time", "Downtown Money Waster", "Descending"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/mz9ymTwSSE
6. amorica. - Side A
01:31:59||Season 7, Ep. 6"What kinda talk you got around here?""We got both kinds... jibber AND jabber!"That's right, two middle-aged men are gonna talk about music for you because that's as close to a midlife crisis as either of us can be bothered to get! Corey's beloved Roughriders won the Grey Cup (which is Canada's version of the World Series, or the Emmys, or some shit...) so he was in bouyant mood! But will he dig a song about a sunflower? Will Kev figure out what that smell coming from the downstairs bathroom is? And will Side A of Amorica score well between the two of us?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and dress up like the jury.Songs covered in this episode: "Gone", "A Conspiracy", "High Head Blues", "Cursed Diamond", "Nonfiction", "She Gave Good Sunflower"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/mz9ymTwSSE
6. Beyond the Catalogue - Part 1
56:42||Season 7, Ep. 6Kev's in Calgary airport upsetting the Cowboys on his way back from Florida so Corey came up with a fiendishly brilliant special format that we could record in situ so we don't have to miss a week. We're not telling you which songs we're covering though, so you'll have to wait to find out! Suffice to say, we're revisiting seasons one and two... So will Corey make Kev listen to St. Anger and will the podcast finally cover Supper's Ready???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and bury me when I'm gone!Songs covered in this episode....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/mz9ymTwSSE
5. Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
01:59:19||Season 7, Ep. 5We're off to Victorian England to talk about one the top ten biggest selling prog rock albums of all time. We have Martians, artillery, heat rays, and.... disco? Kev grew up with this album and has most of it indelibly imprinted on his brain. Will he be able to set aside his nostalgic love for the album? Will Corey be on board with an album that doesn't feature a whole lot of singing and instead lots of dialogue spoken by a charismatic Welshman? And will the Martians win???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and ....... ULLLLAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!Songs covered in this episode: "The Eve of the War", "Horsell Common and the Heat Ray", "The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine", "Forever Autumn", "Thunder Child", "The Red Weed (Part 1)", "The Spirit of Man", "The Red Weed (Part 2)", "The Artilleryman Returns", "Brave New World", "Dead London", "Epilogue (Part 1)", "Epilogue (Part 2) (NASA)"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/mz9ymTwSSE
4. The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - Side B
01:24:22||Season 7, Ep. 4Corey's running for Sheriff in Weyburn, the Crowes are channling Zep, Aeorsmith, and maybe a soupçon of Cinderella? We cogitate on why in the name of green shit the Crowes front loaded the album with slower songs and left so much fire on Side B! But, will Kev dig the Bob Marley cover that closes the album, and will Corey be on board with the longer songs? Most importantly, will either of these knuckleheads figure out how to do this season's game properly?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and make my haze blow away!Songs covered in this episode: "Hotel Illness", "Black Moon Creeping", "No Speak No Slave", "My Morning Song", "Time Will Tell"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/mz9ymTwSSE
3. The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - Side A
01:48:11||Season 7, Ep. 3Popular opinion amongst Crowes fans is that this is their finest work. Recorded in 8 off the back of a monster tour in support of Shake Your Money Maker, this is the album that most fans consider to be the defining sound of the band. So will Corey focus in on this creative shift or will he instead take us down the path of pyschopathic avicidal femme fatales? Will Kev be on board with Remedy now that he's had a chance to sit with the song a little longer, and are there any cheeses that you've been particulalry enjoying lately?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and spill your secrets on me!Songs covered in this episode: "Sting Me", "Remedy", "Thorn in My Pride", "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye", "Sometimes Salvation"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/mz9ymTwSSE
2. Shake Your Money Maker - Side B
01:37:40||Season 7, Ep. 2Welcome to the OUCHpod!!! Or is the UCC? Well, we have the potential for a new number one album in the overall UCC rankings based on last week's scores. But can Side B hold up to Side A? We ruminate on Rod Stewart vs Mick Jagger, Corey gives Kev some food for thought on the last verse of She Talks to Angels, and we're interrupted by animals on a second podcast recording of the day for both of us. Will our plucky hosts have the stamina to pull off this double pod day? Will Hard to Handanah live up to its reputation and will Corey bamboozle Kev with the Birthday game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and let it go on to the wind!Songs covered in this episode: "Hard to Handle", "Thick n' Thin", "She Talks to Angels", "Struttin' Blues", "Stare It Cold"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/mz9ymTwSSE
