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"

"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"

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"
