Just when you thought Craig's opinions on popular music couldn't get weirder... welcome to episode 39. We don't understand either.

Monday Aug 14, 2023
Monday Aug 14, 2023
This is what this podcast is really about. Discussing the merits and downside of the absolute ditchwater releases of popular music history and taking it seriously?! Boy bands face off against modern pop songstresses, and novelty rock songs compete with forgotten deep cuts. Enjoy!

Some weeks its mediocrity, bins and cucumber castles. Other weeks its huge stonking hits taken down by an immedabin. Some weeks... some golden halcyon weeks we get classics presented to us on a platter. Which will it be this week? All three knowing our luck.

Episode 43 - Is This A Sex Thing?
Monday Sep 04, 2023
Monday Sep 04, 2023
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet... But would a podcast about pop music be as ridiculous is it weren't ENOE? No! Of course not! Shove this in your ears then and stop moaning! Bill Shakes agrees!

I'd managed to entirely erase this recording from my memory. I have zero recollection of participating in this frippery. If I did so it was under duress. I take no responsibility for my actions. YOU CANT PROVE ANYTHING!!

Episode 45 - He’s Got Paint In His Eye
Monday Sep 18, 2023
Monday Sep 18, 2023
Just like banana's, we've got 'em. Big ones (oo er), small ones (bless), one's as big as your head. But in our case we're talking about number one singles! Dunno what you were thinking there... filth.

Episode 46 - Bazz & Jeff
Monday Sep 25, 2023
Monday Sep 25, 2023
Frankly, this is the sort of pod we hope for. Some absolute twaddle, some super famous numbers, and some stuff that perhaps was better left forgotten... Plus the first (and maybe only) appearance of Bazz and Jeff.

Episode 47 - THAT
Monday Oct 02, 2023
Monday Oct 02, 2023
Opinions abound in the latest flush of material from the sonic bowels of ENOE towers. Will the pelvis be given a fair hearing? Will an 80s power ballad be saved from the waves a la Kirsty Young? Most importantly, will a charity single be given its due? Whatever that may be.

Hard decisions to make are... hard. This week is no exception to the hardness. In fact, the hardiness (or hardidity) is off the charts. The thing we'd really like to know is if the correct decisions were made? Should we have sacrificed them all to the eternal fires? Or should we have kept them all like those creepy hoarder blokes with the corridors of newspapers? You decide!
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.
