A bonus episode in tribute to the great Steve Albini.
Chris and Nikki discuss Steve's impact on their music tastes and outlooks and rank their favourite albums that he had a part in making (but if we're really honest, the ranking element of this episode is more of an excuse to talk about all of his incredible work).

Ridiculously, this is the 50th full episode of the Black Band T-Shirt podcast... so we had to do something big!
Join Chris and Nikki as they rank and discuss the 8 albums of what we're calling the Buckingham and Nicks era of Fleetwood Mac, from 1975's self titled album through all the highs and lows to 2003's Say You Will.
Part one is a slightly epic affair due to a Fleetwood Mac obsessive being given the chance to talk about two of the greatest albums ever made... sorry about that!
-

In the first episode of 2024, Nikki and Chris rank the five Shane MacGowan era albums from The Pogues!

Well slap my baubles and call me Jolly Saint Nick!
It's time for a bit of harmless bonus festive ranking, as Nikki and Chris get into some of their favourite Christmas films and the musical delights to be found within!
If it's a song and appears in a film loosely linked to Christmas, it counts!
