Episode 42 - Crofty's Picks (ft. Iron Maiden, Metallica & The Black Crowes)

After spending the evening chatting music, darts and very fast cars with Sky Sports F1 lead commentator David Croft a few weeks back, it was time for the lads to review the albums that Crofty had picked out for them to feature on the pod.

After wrestling with the thorny issue of whether one of them - Springsteen's Born To Run - should be included (a question that prompted comparisons of an F1 car with a Le Mans prototype) the boys settled down to a week of listening that, as Steve observed, was never going to be a chore.

First up, in place of The Boss (but featuring solidly in Crofty's Top 10 albums of all time) 1982's The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden.

Having dealt with the band that ruled the metal globe in the late 80s, the Sadmen turned their attention to the band that would steal that crown for the 90s as they gorged on Ride The Lightning, the 1984 the coming of age release from Metallica.

And making up this episode's trio, as incongruous in this company as the Foreign Secretary turning up to an ambassadorial dinner in a pair of silk pajamas, The Black Crowes with 1992's The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion.
