E32 - Shine Indie Hits Compilation ( Blur, Oasis, Elastica, The Smiths & MORE)

Finally we get to looking at an album that was kind of the impetus for this entire podcast, the first Shine Indie hits compilation from 1995. 
The Shine series of became a touchstone for the rapidly growing indie scene of the mid to late 1990s & tell the tale of the fast rise and slow decline of Britpop, whilst offering a vast selection of hits, classics, one-offs and obscurities.

Simon and Stewart Boyd run Blur, Suede, The Happy Mondays, The Charlatans, New Order & loads more through the Personal Jukebox as they begin working through the entire Shine  catalog.

E31- UK Chart Top 20 Countdown 25/6/1988

Simon isn’t the biggest fan of 80s music and Gaz doesn’t particularly dig the chart music scene so what better idea for an episode than mixing both those bad boys together?

The guys head back to a time when they were both 10 years old, a place inhabited by musical giants like Prefab Sprout, Maxi Priest, Belinda Carlisle & Phil Collins. We hear all about Simon’s week off work holiday japes, get an update on Gaz’s garden project and also hear of how he was a musical theatre aficionado at a younger age. Plus they try to answer the eternal question; Just how much bass did Luke Goss actually play?

Is the album actually any good? Can the guys make it all the way though? Should Metallica fire James and bring in Avril Lavigne? Does Snoop Dogg know the words to Sad But True? All these questions will be answered.
