If there was a definitive discography of classic albums, what should be in it? Hosts Mark Fraser and Chris Cusack, plus the occasional guest, discuss and dissect perceived classic albums to decide which albums would make this list. We also interview amazing artists, do genre deep dives and throw a journalistic lens on musical topics you might not know much about.

Episode 9 - Trust by Low 09.02.2018 38:16

Often described as being a ‘slowcore’ band, there’s no doubt that Low’s 2002 album ‘Trust’ is nothing if not slow. But we think there’s a great deal of compelling, wonderful music to be found on this record. Do you think it should be added to our discography? Listen and vote, and voice your opinion.

Episode 8 - Slaughter of the Soul by At the Gates 02.02.2018 34:30

If you know it, you know it. But if you don't know it, should you? Does this death metal classic deserve a place in the discography of all time classic albums? Or is has the much imitated sound been improved upon by others?

Episode 7 - Ys by Joanna Newsom 26.01.2018 33:20

Harp powered prog-esque folk is the aim of the game this week, and Joanna Newsom's lush, spacious, ambitious 'Ys' is often considered to be a staggering piece of work. Should it be in our discography though? Only you can tell us.

Episode 6 - Mr. Beast by Mogwai 19.01.2018 37:04

Alan McGee likes this record, apparently. Which, depending on your opinion, either says it all or says nothing at all. You can listen to what we have to say and decide. We heard he sometimes talks about a really famous band he discovered once...

Episode 5 - Endtroducing by DJ Shadow 12.01.2018 32:31

AV Club called this record "trip-hop's crowning achievement" and really, who are we to argue? 'Endtroducing' is perhaps one of the most influential electronic and hip hop records ever written. But not all of us see it that way, so strap in for lively discussion on this episode of Unsung.

Episode 4 - Violator by Depeche Mode 05.01.2018 38:55

Some argue that 'Violator' is some of the best work Depeche Mode has ever produced. Others beg to differ. With a catalogue of 14 albums, we ask if this record is the clearest representation of a legendary band with a storied career.

Episode 3 - Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters 29.12.2017 36:15

The Foo Fighters' first record is the sound of a man who just had a bunch of songs he felt people needed to hear. Is it their best album? It's something we talk about in depth on this episode.

Episode 2 - Jane Doe by Converge 21.12.2017 38:25

Jane Doe by Converge is widely hailed as one of the best hardcore records ever made. On this episode we discuss its legacy, and ask if it's worthy of such high praise.

Episode 1 - The Remote Part by Idlewild 15.12.2017 34:34

In episode one of Unsung our hosts dissect Idlewild's major label debut 'The Remote Part' and discuss why it should or should not be kept in a discography of great records.

Episode 1 Teaser 14.12.2017 1:31
