Three unwise men. One impossible mission. A definitive top five Queen albums list. In this latest Pyrotechnics episode, Pete Arnett, Dave Cockett, and James Gaden attempt the unthinkable, ranking their top five albums of Queen without descending into total chaos. Will they succeed? Let’s just say the odds are not in their favour.Elsewhere, Views On The News delivers opinions you may or may not agree with, Sixty-Second Sound Off sees Dave issuing a warning to bands, and James defends Bad Company. We also flush Vinnie Vincent, old school music journalism, and the fine art of not reading the musical room straight down the Rock and Metal Crapper.There is an Unpopular Opinion on Def Leppard, a test of band knowledge, and another attempt to finally get the quiz question right.Expect 90 minutes of laughs, arguments, strong opinions, weak logic, and the occasional interesting fact.
