  • Summary

  • Daniel leads the episode off with NME's #88, For Your Pleasure, Roxy Music's second album from 1973. (And yet, Erich still arrives at our episode's recording in a full re-creation of Brian Eno's outfit from that LP's inner gatefold sleeve: frilly shouldered top, skullet hairdo, clogs. Striking.) Erich then presents Entertainment Weekly's pick and one of his personal faves, New Order's 1983 release, Power, Corruption & Lies. We discuss how its iconic single, "Blue Monday," is the best song on the album. Kidding--we don't! Daniel finishes off with his Mid-Year Kicker Pick from 1978. Breaking precedent, we'll reveal here that it is in fact the soundtrack to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, featuring Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees, with narration from George Burns.
