Episode 10.5 – 1st Albums Special – Quality Assurance Purposes

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

Hotdog. Jumping frog. Albuquerque. A break from the countdown as we share and examine the first albums that we owned. We didn’t choose these albums; they chose us.

Did you know? We are also available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Deezer, and other places? If you listen to podcasts elsewhere and can’t find us, let us know in the comments and we’ll see what we can do.

Recommendations

Michael Jackson’s Leave Me Alone official video.
Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer. Less similar than Glen had remembered.
Official video for Michael Jackson’s Bad. The short bit with just the song, at least (there’s an 18 minute long one too, if you want to go looking).
Official video for Michael Jackson’s Beat It from the Thriller album.
Peter Kay’s Bit on misheard lyrics.
Alien Ant Farm’s cover of Smooth Criminal. Their other song is Movies, which is a genuinely quality piece of work.
Official video for Prefab Sprout’s The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Incredible by M Beat feat. General Levy. A piece of Jungle history. Jungle is, indeed, massive.
And as used in the opening credits to Ali G Indahouse.
