Episode 49: 'Eliminator' with Justin Ross

The Sharp Dressed Men of ZZ Top receive the 'My Classic Album' treatment as rock artist Justin Ross joins Mike to celebrate the iconic 'Eliminator' album.

From the moment he first heard ZZ Top at a car rally, Justin knew this band would shape his musical identity for years to come and together he and Mike explore the impact 'Eliminator' had on the MTV generation with it's eclectic blend of blues rock and new wave influences.

How did the likes of Depeche Mode and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark influence ZZ Top at this point in their career?

What impact did the 'Eliminator' music videos on MTV have on the success of the album?

What lyric from 'Legs' is amusingly lost in translation across the pond from America to the UK?

PLUS: Hear 'Drink The Water', a track from Justin's new album 'Into The Dark'.

Grab yourself a TV Dinner and settle in for another episode of 'My Classic Album'.

Episode 50: 'Rising' with Ian Haugland

The 50th episode of 'My Classic Album' is here and it's jam packed like no other! Ian Haugland, drummer of Swedish rock legends Europe joins Mike to discuss our 50th classic album, Rainbow's 'Rising'.

A union including the likes of Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio and Cozy Powell was too much for a young Ian Haugland to resist. Together Ian and Mike explore the impact 'Rising' had not only on themselves but the development of hard rock and heavy metal as a whole!

What unique process did Rainbow use to audition drummers including Cozy Powell?

How did keyboardist Tony Carey react when Ian played him the intro to 'Tarot Woman' on his own radio show?

Is 'Stargazer' the genesis of metal's relationship with fantasy?

PLUS: Enjoy a track from Europe's most recent album 'Walk The Earth'
