I was in this recording session, and frankly even I don't know who is dead or alive after listening to this pod. God help us. Rest in Peace... maybe.

There are some serious big hitters in this list if you were alive and conscious during the 90s and early 00s (our prime era), and as such there is much to be argued about. For a change.

I may have overpromised with the rap. However, Craigs three tunes are just... well... there's no superlative that does it justice.

Insert a series of witty yet vague observations about the episode's content here... mention cucumber castle... mention 'going on one'... and mention the kitchen of distinction. All the stuff we've come up with over the first few months of ENOE.

According to Craig, all it takes is a 'good beat'. You heard it hear first folks! Also featuring quavers, melting 'coochies', and a whole show within a show.

Dwell, smell and tell. All the advice you'll ever need. It's our silver anniversary (not china as Liam said). Our union has remained somewhat stable for 25 whole episodes, and long may it continue. And Liam finally gets the jingle he wanted.

Right, before we even get into it I feel like I need to explain the episode title. The first song of the episode is something both Matt and Liam love, but half the samples in it frankly bizarre. The title refers to the sample that happens at 2:38 after the horn break. We never knew what it said properly, but it sounds like the episode title.
Its ENOE. You know whats in it!

This week we get a whack of classic dance, a whiff of the 60s, and a modern classic. Plus, we're really sorry to Speb and all who sail on her. Is she a boat? Or a jet?
Welcome to Every Number One Ever!
A revisionist history of pop music and culture from 1952 to now.
Over the next three years, friends and DAA stalwarts Matthew Leonard, Craig Lowe, and Liam Maloney are pruning the UK pop charts from day dot to now. Randomly selected number ones fired at them and either banished to the bin for all eternity or raised to the hallowed pantheon of pop after discussion, argument and general nonsense.
The discarded songs will be expunged from history and in their stead shall be one randomly selected number two single. Will it be Penny Lane, God Only Knows, Jean Genie? Or the Dexys Midnight Runner's parody 'Come On England'? Only fate and a random spreadsheet function can know for sure!
So join us on our odyssey into pop as we try to correct some historical musical maladies and revitalise the once glittering UK pop chart.
