BONUS - Rule Britannia 1977-79 (featuring David Stubbs of Chart Music Podcast)

It's time for another of our bonus episodes and this month we are extremely lucky to have secured the services of British music journalism royalty, David Stubbs. Dan and Tom pick out the best and worst of British music from the pre-Thatcher era of 1977-79. David was a staff writer at Melody Maker magazine in the 80s as well as numerous other music publications and has his own bibliography of British comedy analysis and musical deep dives so adds a tremendous volume of knowledge to our usual discussion in the round. We highlight our favourite singles and albums as well as the bands that we find to be quite overhyped, and discover which particular artist was not a fan of one of David's reviews as well as, obviously, the most pertinent of questions in his favourite musical year and selection for the undeniable banger hall of fame.

We would like to thank David for taking the time to chat with us, and for the uninitiated we implore you to check out his contributions to Chart Music Podcast for their hilarious Top of the Pops commentary. You can find them on Twitter here, David's account here and our own Twitter page right here. Let us know your thoughts on some of our controversial selections and we'll be back with another episode soon, with more new voices!
