Lords of Loud

Episode 13: When did you develop your own taste in music

Who rocked your world and who helped you on your way? What did you react against and what did you chase down? When did you become a music fan? The Lords think back to how their interest kicked in. Was it despite or thanks to long family car journeys, radio shows or friends on your journey with the last album by N.W.A., Abba or Ariana Grande.

Episode 12: The Beatles Vs ... Group D (Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, David Bowie)

The qualifying punch-ups are coming to an end as the stragglers slug it out for a shot at the title. The Lords say goodbye yellow brick heroes and hello to the dark side of the ladyland.

Episode 11: Who's in Al's closet - Vol 1

Lord Al's musical back door is not what you think. Less to do with denial, more of a secret universe. Lurking behind the racks of conventional music you'll find a virtual Narnia of obscure artists, sub-sub-sub genres, and then some really weird stuff. Each one with a tale to tell. Let the Mr Tumnus of Brisbane guide you safely through his own magical mystery tour.

Episode 10: Favourite Musical Decade

What is a mere decade in the great span of the infinite universe? Well, it all depends on what songs are released. The Lords reflect on the top ten years that represent their tastiest contiguous, continuous, contagious, and/or Kon-Tikiest slices of musical time.

Episode 9: The Beatles Vs ... Group C (The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin)

It's time for Group C of the music world cup. The biggest acts of all time try to prove themselves worthy opponents to take on The Beatles? This week The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley give it their best. Lord Ben even gives lowly Led Zeppelin a crack at making it through to the next round.

Episode 8: Most Underrated - Vol. I

Music and artists are out there to be loved, but who never quite got the acclaim they deserved? The Lords delve deep on credibility, criticism and funny hats. Why do some acts get all the luck? Who 'rock-blocked' one classic seventies band? And who on planet earth have the Lords all managed to agree on?

Episode 7: Let Me Be Upfront

What does it take to swing it while you sing it? Whether it’s through back flips and chest hair or back hair and chest flips, the people up the front are the sacred nozzle of their band’s magic piping bag. The Lords look at the special ingredients that make someone risk being the world’s greatest tool.

Episode 6: The Beatles Vs ... Group B (The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, U2, Chuck Berry)

The world cup of music continues with Group B. More heavy hitters come out as we discuss the relative merits of The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, U2 and Chuck Berry to see who goes through to the next round.

Episode 5: Guilty Pleasures

Huddling in the corner, casting furtive glances over their shoulders and licking dry lips of shame, the Lords dwell on the musical pleasures that dare not speak their name.

Episode 4: It's not me, it's you

It is better to have loved and lost ... than listen to your concept LP.  

 

The Lords hit out at acts they once loved that just ... changed. Changed too much, changed too little or went out one night and released an album about space robots. The thrill is gone. Some of these rejected artists can't even give it away. Whatever, it's over and we're seeing other people. Here's looking at you, Kid A.
