At the end of each Season of the popular Jeffrey Music Podcast, your hosts John and Gordon ask each other a series of pop trivia questions about the artists featured in the previous season: the Jeffrey Music Amusing Pop Quiz (or APQ for short). You will recall that after season one's enthralling episode, Our Gords is one-nil to the good, so it's all to play for!

At the end of each Season of the popular Jeffrey Music Podcast, your hosts John and Gordon ask each other a series of pop trivia questions about the artists featured in the previous season: the Jeffrey Music Amusing Pop Quiz (or APQ for short).
Click here to visit our JeffreyMusic.Rocks website page that includes all the questions.
The winner of the quiz receives one point in the overall Jeffrey Music's APQ score, or in the case of a draw each will receive a half-point. A system similar to the Ryder Cup in a deliberate attempt to produce an underwhelming and unimpressive overall score for quite a lot of time and effort.

The last in our boring series of Top 10s, and we complete our look at Season 2 alumni by revisiting the Canadian trio Rush! The (very long) original podcast, 8 months in the making, was both a trip down memory lane and a voyage of discovery, and proved to be an absolute delight for the Jeffrey Music fellas ... so enjoy (sort of) listening to them waffle on about their favourite tracks!
Here's the link to the post on the JeffreyMusic website, and here to the playlists on Spotify and Deezer.

We're nearly through with this ill-advised idea to do Top 10s, but seeing as we've got this far, let's get to the end - this one is about the brilliant Belgian band Balthazar, a real gem we uncovered since doing this podcast, and we're quite pleased with ourselves for having done so! It's one thing to claim to be musical explorers, not stuck in the past with just playing the same old stuff from long ago, it's quite another to actually do it - at Jeffrey Music we damn well walk the talk.
Anyway, enough about how ace we are, here's the link to website version of this, over on JeffreyMusic.Rocks and the playlists on Spotify and Deezer.

Our top ten tracks from British indie pop giants Suede (known as the London Suede in the US due to a name clash) - a band that bowled us over in the early-/mid-nineties and who are that rare breed of indie pop bands who seem to be getting better and better, despite their advanced years.

The music of Queen is possibly the most recognised music of any British band in history - obviously The Beatles are the most well-known, their story still fascinates us, but we reckon if you were to ask a random group of people to hum a few songs by any British band, Queen would emerge as the band having the most universally recognised tunes among the masses.

In this episode Gordon's love of Americana rears its head again and we explore the works of country-bluegrass-ragtime sorts The Devil Makes Three, the episode coinciding with Gords seeing them live in Nottingham (so he goes on a bit about that too).

Suede bounded onto the pop scene in the early 90s with their unique brand of Smiths-Bowie glam pop-rock and we were hooked. From the first chords of the single Animal Nitrate, then their smash hit debut album (then the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history) we were a couple of insatiable young Suede fans.
It didn't last long, they soon lost Bernard Butler, their influential guitarist and main songwriter, but surprisingly that didn't seem to faze them ... they bounced back immediately with a cluster of top ten hits and a masterful pop album (Coming Up) that proved they didn't need the moody Butler to flourish ... but it didn't last long, they began to fall apart as alcohol, drugs, exhaustion and illness saw them stumbling and crashing, and eventually going their separate ways.
A decade later they were back, and the post-hiatus mature sober Suede knocked out four albums over the following ten years, culminating in 2022's marvellous Autofiction.
The podcast is part nostalgia as we remember those early albums, and part discovery as we explore the newer stuff. Do those early ones still stand up 30 years later? Do the new one cut the mustard and meet the sky-high expectations set by those early masterpieces? You'll need to listen to find out! (or just click here to see the ranking on the website if you can't be bothered).

John and Gordon discuss their recent experiences of seeing Placebo at two different festivals. Actually not that recent, Gordon's was last year, but John's was only the other day, so it counts (Gords also saw them in between at the O2 Academy in Leeds, but we're not really including that).
Links to the setlist on Spotify and Deezer, and the page on the JeffreyMusic.Rocks website (with a couple of cheeky photos, despite the band's restrictions).

A bit of a dEUS theme emerging at the moment, but it will pass now the album has landed and the tour has made its way through Paris (where Gordon saw them) and Madrid (where John saw them) - this here podcast is the review of those splendid evenings with the Antwerp quintet.

A firm favourite of the Jeffrey Podcast fellas, the innovative indie aces dEUS have only gone and cranked out a new album, the first in over a decade - what do we think of it? You'll need to listen to find out ...
(Unless you just want to read where we've ranked it on the dEUS page on the JeffreyMusic.Rocks website) - and here's the link to the How to Replace It page.

Dire Straits were inescapable in the 1980s, from Sultans of Swing's omnipresence on rock radio, to smash-hit album Brothers in Arms smothering the charts in hit singles, Mark Knopfler and the gang were everywhere!
Despite this, we didn't know them that well. We knew the obvious hit singles, and a couple of albums, but we didn't know that much about the lesser-known stuff. So, in a spirit of (re-)discovery, we - clutching John Ilsley's biography "My Life in Dire Straits" - set out to explore their six-album discography, and what we discovered was that there is very little we agree on when it comes to Dire Straits.
