10 The Dickie Davies Fight Club - NYC

Episode 10: The Dickie Davies Fight Club - NYC SPECIAL (April 14th 2018)
'The first rule of the Overrated Podcast is: You don’t talk about the Overrated Podcast.'

This episode: NEW YORK SPECIAL!
We don fedoras and sunglasses, and scoff hot dogs and bagels as we are joined in the Overrated Studio by old school pal and New York resident Neil Barret, who chooses a selection of great songs pertaining to his adopted city.
As the three of us ponder the majesty of Daley Thompson’s Olympic moustache, and try to picture Sid Vicious attacking Whispering Bob Harris, Jeremy invents a new wrestling move, Neil gets annoyed at the egregious lack of specificity in America’s lyrics, and Vince confiscates the word ‘the’ from ‘the’ New York Dolls.
The artists/bands rated and/or discussed are Odyssey, Carole King, New York Dolls, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and America, with passing mentions of The Sex Pistols, Crass, Fleetwood Mac, ELO, Television, Mariah Carey, The Beastie Boys, Free, and Breakestra.
