Yep - the "Cream of the Crop" - and continuing that analogy, Uncle Simon is the Ginger Baker of the trio - can come across as a bit grumpy, but is just as important to the balance of the show (both musical taste/opinion and humour), and it wouldn't be the same without him.

Can easily see the love for "Burn" because it's pretty much top of my list too. The riff however is just a rocked up version of "Fascinating Rhythm" by Cole Porter. Was pointed out to me by Simon Robinson of the DeepPurple fan club who did loads of the sleeve notes for the anniversary editions of the DP catalog.
My favorites to name a few. Jethro Tull "Minstrel in the gallery", Cheap Trick " Dream Police", Magnum " On a storytellers night", Styx "The Grand Illusion" and Motorhead " Ace of Spades or Bomber or Motorhead or Iron Fist".
Man,…a tough one. Some of my favorites are Kansas’ “Song For America”, Journey’s “Escape”, Rush’s “A Farewell To Kings”, Van Halen’s “5150”, Sabbath’s “Heaven And Hell”, Maiden’s “The Number Of The Best”, “Boston’s “Don’t Look Back”, Marillion’s “Afraid Of Sunlight”, Foreigner’s “Head Games”, Springsteen’s “Born To Run”, Triumph’s “Allied Forces”, Bruce Hornsby’s “The Way It Is”,…and probably a ton of others.
Awesome title tracks: (I could easily list many more) 5. "Hotel California" - The Eagles ....It might be overplayed, but it is still quite an epic. The outro guitar solos are just sublime 4. "Legacy of Kings" - Hammerfall ...The title track for the Swedes' second album is pure power metal singalong bliss 3. "Seasons in the Abyss" - Slayer ....Slayer closes their brilliant fifth album with this epic crusher. 4. "In Trance" - Scorpions ...One of my favorite Scorpions songs, and their absolute best ballad type song. 5. "Painkiller" - Judas Priest ...Not only one helluva title track, but a total face melting album opener Garbage title tracks: 5. "Supercollider" - Megadeth ...I don't hate this album, but the title track sounds like it belongs on Risk, which is an album I do hate. 4. "Hail to the King" - Avenged Sevenfold ...Bland, basic, it was popular on rock radio, but the whole point of the song is to get on radio. 3. "St Anger" - Metallica ....It may be one of the better songs on this album, but that's not really saying much. 2. "Wrong Side of Heaven" - Five Finger Death Punch ...More bland radio rock 1. "Little Miss Dangerous" - Ted Nugent ...Bad 80's production sounding like Ted is trying to sound like Billy Idol, but the song writing does not hold up.
Highly entertaining always. Some favorites from artists not often mention on SoT: Phoenix - Dan Fogelberg Incense And Peppermints - The Strawberry Alarm Clock With A Little Help From My Friends - Joe Cocker The Captain And Me - The Doobie Brothers School's Out - Alice Cooper [mentioned often but, for me, the best title track by Alice and the band]. and perhaps, shockingly, Fools Game by Michael Bolton Thanks again, guys, for the entertainment. Looking forward to your year end wrap up show to come. Format sounds interesting. Cheers!
Nice episode. This was a nearly impossible task for me. Here are some of my fave title songs. Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick Deep Purple - Burn Grave - You'll never see Motörhead - Sacrifice Rush - Hemispheres HM: Dissection - Somberlain Iron Maiden - Powerslave Slayer - South of heaven
Some favorites not already mentioned. Motorhead - Ace of Spades Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies The Doors - L.A. Woman Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Favourite title tracks: Rockin' All Over The World - Status Quo State Of Confusion - The Kinks No Mean City - Nazareth Innuendo - Queen Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy I have no least favourites
My top 5, but in NO particular order....... Ridin' The Storm Out-REO Speedwagon Tarkus-ELP Joe's Garage-Frank Zappa Chinatown-Thin Lizzy Razamanaz-Nazareth
My 5 favs would be, as of today, would probably be Bark At The Moon by Ozzy, Rio by Duran Duran, Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants, and Forever Now by the Psychedelic Furs with Dokken's Tooth And Nail up there as well as Pantera's Cowboys From Hell
Somebody is clearly oblivious to the homage to the film the Warriors. With the line and bottles. At the start of the song. Fair enough. The Warriors is a great film
First of all, I am so pumped for the Sea of Tranquility Awards for 2023! Second of all, I can't really think of my least favorite title tracks because I don't own a lot of albums, but here are my 10 favorites in no particular order: 1. Def Leppard's "Hysteria" - I think the album overall is overrated, but the title track is so dang catchy! 2. Skid Row's "Slave to the Grind" - Freaking cool track that has a lot of attitude and it's intense. 3. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Back My Bullets" - Leon Wilkeson's bass line is insane. 4. The Black Crowes' "By Your Side" - I love the bluesy riff in this song and it's so recognizable (at least in The Black Crowes community). 5. AC/DC's "Flick of the Switch" - I love Malcolm Young's rhythm playing in this song and it's one of those AC/DC songs that's not overplayed. 6. Overkill's "The Years of Decay" - An epic music journey that tells a story. 7. Whitesnake's "Slide It In" - I don't listen to this band often, but the album overall is pretty dang good! 8. Saxon's "Call to Arms" - It's a beautiful, well-written song by the band and I've never heard them do anything like it before. 9. Richie Sambora's "Stranger in This Town" - The lyrics are relatable, I love the emotive guitar solo, and Sambora's vocals are amazing in this track, especially with his growls. 10. The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed" - Two words, Charlie Watts!
Another great UK Connection. Steven, out of the options you mentioned, The Last in Line was the correct choice. However, Dream Evil is the one. I found it hard to narrow things down for favourites and off the top of my head difficult to find 5 least favourite title tracks that I own. Though two popped into my head Fear of the Dark and Never Say Die. Also, I don't like the title track to Piece of Mind. Have to agree with Pete on Open Your Eyes, but frankly I have only listened to that album a few times. I do prefer Fish's version of I Can't Dance (Man with a Stick).
Great show as always. Some of mine😊 are falling out the SOT norm, but not that far out. Least faves are really hard. Faves John Martyn - One World Nine Horses - Snowbourne Sorrow Blue Nile - A Walk Across The Rooftops David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (many options here) Black Sabbath - Mob Rules Least Genesis - Invisivible Touch ....and here i got stuck 😂 so some other faves... Joan Armatrading - Stepping Out (bit of a cheat as that's a live album). Girlschool - Demolition Boys Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation Prince - Purple Rain Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates Cockney Rebel - Psychomodo and Fleetwood Mac - Tusk.
Funny episode! I connected the most to Stevens choises, especially the five worst. The first album I got on vinyl was Come out and play. I was not happy! That clinking-noise in the intro is from the movie Warriors (silly thing to put on a album) I liked Helloween a lot but dropped the band completely after Pink bunbbles, what was that??
My Favorite: Bad Company / Bad Company The Outlaws / Hurry Sundown Eagles / One Of These Nights Steve Miller / Fly Like An Eagle Foghat / Fool For The City
Great episode! Steven, actually Come out and Play is a take-off on the movie The Warriors, which i think is pretty cool! But i do agree with you on The Last in Line, one of my favorite Dio songs!
My favorite obscure Prog title tracks: Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing Big Big Train - The Underfall Yard Airbag - The Greatest Show On Earth Fantasy - Paint A Picture IQ - Subterranea Porcupine Tree - Deadwing and Fear/Blank Planet Renaissance - Ashes Are Burning Anekdoten - Gravity Anathema - The Optimist
Favourites Opeth - Black Water Park Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell Judas Priest - Pain Killer Testament - Practice What you Preach Motörhead - Overkill
Favorite title tracks (picking from artists I generally like, otherwise it's too easy 😃): Megadeth - Peace Sells ... but who's buying!? Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear Metallica - Master of Puppets Mercyful Fate - Melissa Deep Purple - Fireball Least favorite: Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden Black Sabbath - Paranoid Fish - Internal Exile Rainbow - Long Live Rock 'n Roll Megadeth - The World Needs a Hero
Hello, great episode. My favourite 5 Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers, Burn Ozzy - No more tears Magnum - On a storyteller s night Firehouse - Hold your fire Megadeth - Peace sells Toto - Kingdom of desire Black Sabbath - Heaven and hell Pink Floyd - Obscured by clouds, Atom heart mother .... and many more My least favourites AC/DC - The razors edge Whitesnake - Slip of the tongue Rush - Roll the bones Genesis - Invisible touch
Thanks for another truly entertaining and enlightening hour of jollity, Rock and beer! Here are my five favourites, narrowed down from a very long list, and I've tried to pick one from each of several genres... So... Metal = JUDAS PRIEST Painkiller AOR = NIGHT RANGER 7 Wishes Prog = MARILLION Fugazi Pop Rock = CHEAP TRICK Dream Police Classic Rock = UFO Lights Out Hard to think of really bad ones as I probably don't own any of them, but a couple spring to mind- QUEENSRYCHE Tribe METALLICA St Anger (too obvious?) After that I'm struggling! Thanks for a great year's debating and ranking, Merry Christmas to everyone concerned!

They are in no particular order : Iron Maiden : Powerslave ( Fear of the Dark comes very close ) Motörhead : Ace of Spades Twisted Sister : Stay Hungry AC/DC : Highway To Hell Kiss : Creatures of the Night ( Love Gun comes very close ).

Drinking a fabulous stout from Kalamazoo Michigan. Bells brewery Kalamazoo Stout. I highly recommend it. If you guys see anything from Bells Brewery, grab it.
Great to see Seven with Inside Love, couple of picks which only contain part of the album title would be The Oath from Don't Break The Oath by Mercyful Fate, Welcome to the DCC off Dead Club City from Nothing But Thieves , or is it Dundee City Council? Anyway apart from the obvious Burn and The Last In Line, i would go for, Alcatrazz - Island In The Sun, AC/DC - Highway to Hell, Tobruk - Wild on the Run (being a Bedfordian), Motorhead- Ace of Spades.
Great call on “Creatures”. Best KISS title track. Take away “I Still Love You”, and the album would be a masterwork. So many Sabbath title tracks are epic. Fave band so biased I suppose. Rush being a close second, I would go with “Test For Echo”.
I like *too old to rock 'n' roll: too young to die!* nice arrangement, british touch and great executed melodie by mr. ian anderson. this song is all about a popsong should be: tasty!
Hi Guys. Great show. Top 5 is almost impossible to leave off such great title tracks. I have changed a couple songs from last time. Also, My terrible title songs are going to piss people off. Here is my list ( Subject To Change) Favorite 1. Symphony X - The Odyssey 2. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell ( I changed this from last time) Variety 3. Judas Priest - Painkiller 4. Metal Church - Metal Church 5. Savatage - Hall of The Mountain King ( Change from EOT) I thought Pete would have this included. Terrible title Songs- This list will irritate some people, but this is my Opinion. We all hear things differently. 1. Genesis - I Can't Dance 2. Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue 3. Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA 4. Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra 5. Ac/Dc - Back In Black
Hotel California-Eagles Crystal Ball-Styx Crime of the Century-Styx Band on the Run-Paul McCartney Dream Police-Cheap Trick Honorable Mentions Billy Joel- Piano Man Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road AC/DC-Back in Black Styx-Grand illusion/ Pieces of Eight
I'll have a go at a top 10 Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy Bad Company - Bad Company Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Superunknown - Soundgarden 2112 - Rush Burn - Deep Purple ITCOTCK - King Crimson Are You Experienced - Jimi Draw the Line - Aerosmith Candy-O - The Cars
Favorites: Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath Iron Maiden-Powerslave Metallica-Master of Puppets King Crimson-Red Death-Symbolic Least favorites: David Bowie-Tonight Radiohead-Kid A Fleetwood Mac-Tusk Kate Bush-The Dreaming The Smiths-Meat Is Murder
Best title tracks ELP - Trilogy All the Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople David Bowie - Heroes David Bowie - Station to Station King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King Worst is very difficult as the best track seems always to be the title track for some reason ?
Agreed Steven I'm well over Fear of the Dark. No Prayer for the dying was very disappointing, then Fear of the Dark I bowed out for a few years. Title track brings back those conflicted emotions.
As per my comment re. Genesis (which, now I've watched the programme, I find Pete said too!) - Steven also "cheated" with Bula Quo - as the track title (if I've got it right) is "Bula Bula Quo (Kua Ni Lega)". However, "Rockin' All Over the World" was a good one by them (imho).
You guys are the best team on the park.
Their chemistry and banter is delightful indeed.
Yep - the "Cream of the Crop" - and continuing that analogy, Uncle Simon is the Ginger Baker of the trio - can come across as a bit grumpy, but is just as important to the balance of the show (both musical taste/opinion and humour), and it wouldn't be the same without him.
@@timsmith9953 Simon has what is known as a dry/sardonic wit. I love the way he cracks Pete up all the time.😂
Wishing you all Pete, Steven and Simon a Very Happy Christmas, and thanks for all the fun during the year.

Was pointed out to me by Simon Robinson of the DeepPurple fan club who did loads of the sleeve notes for the anniversary editions of the DP catalog.

Cheers everybody 🎉
Man,…a tough one. Some of my favorites are Kansas’ “Song For America”, Journey’s “Escape”, Rush’s “A Farewell To Kings”, Van Halen’s “5150”, Sabbath’s “Heaven And Hell”, Maiden’s “The Number Of The Best”, “Boston’s “Don’t Look Back”, Marillion’s “Afraid Of Sunlight”, Foreigner’s “Head Games”, Springsteen’s “Born To Run”, Triumph’s “Allied Forces”, Bruce Hornsby’s “The Way It Is”,…and probably a ton of others.
Oh,…and Pat Metheny Group’s “First Circle”. A beauty.
Thinking of more: Eagles’ “One Of These Nights” or (in the same vein) Poco’s “Indian Summer” or “Rose Of Cimarron”.
Awesome title tracks: (I could easily list many more)
5. "Hotel California" - The Eagles ....It might be overplayed, but it is still quite an epic. The outro guitar solos are just sublime
4. "Legacy of Kings" - Hammerfall ...The title track for the Swedes' second album is pure power metal singalong bliss
3. "Seasons in the Abyss" - Slayer ....Slayer closes their brilliant fifth album with this epic crusher.
4. "In Trance" - Scorpions ...One of my favorite Scorpions songs, and their absolute best ballad type song.
5. "Painkiller" - Judas Priest ...Not only one helluva title track, but a total face melting album opener
Garbage title tracks:
5. "Supercollider" - Megadeth ...I don't hate this album, but the title track sounds like it belongs on Risk, which is an album I do hate.
4. "Hail to the King" - Avenged Sevenfold ...Bland, basic, it was popular on rock radio, but the whole point of the song is to get on radio.
3. "St Anger" - Metallica ....It may be one of the better songs on this album, but that's not really saying much.
2. "Wrong Side of Heaven" - Five Finger Death Punch ...More bland radio rock
1. "Little Miss Dangerous" - Ted Nugent ...Bad 80's production sounding like Ted is trying to sound like Billy Idol, but the song writing does not hold up.
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas, looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings and I would really love to see you tackle other years too
Suggestion for the next show: Albums where one of the tracks should have been the title track.
I've never heard that Twisted Sister track but I think its based on the ending scenes from the Walter Hill film The Warriors.
Highly entertaining always. Some favorites from artists not often mention on SoT:
Phoenix - Dan Fogelberg
Incense And Peppermints - The Strawberry Alarm Clock
With A Little Help From My Friends - Joe Cocker
The Captain And Me - The Doobie Brothers
School's Out - Alice Cooper [mentioned often but, for me, the best title track by Alice and the band].
and perhaps, shockingly, Fools Game by Michael Bolton
Thanks again, guys, for the entertainment. Looking forward to your year end wrap up show to come. Format sounds interesting. Cheers!
Interesting choices!! Thanks for watching.

Ridin' The Storm Out-REO Speedwagon
Tarkus-ELP
Joe's Garage-Frank Zappa
Chinatown-Thin Lizzy
Razamanaz-Nazareth
My 5 favs would be, as of today, would probably be Bark At The Moon by Ozzy, Rio by Duran Duran, Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants, and Forever Now by the Psychedelic Furs with Dokken's Tooth And Nail up there as well as Pantera's Cowboys From Hell
Somebody is clearly oblivious to the homage to the film the Warriors.
With the line and bottles. At the start of the song.
Fair enough. The Warriors is a great film
The broken bottles from Twisted Sister is taken from the ending Walter Hill’s film Warriors.
First of all, I am so pumped for the Sea of Tranquility Awards for 2023!
Second of all, I can't really think of my least favorite title tracks because I don't own a lot of albums, but here are my 10 favorites in no particular order:
1. Def Leppard's "Hysteria" - I think the album overall is overrated, but the title track is so dang catchy!
2. Skid Row's "Slave to the Grind" - Freaking cool track that has a lot of attitude and it's intense.
3. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Back My Bullets" - Leon Wilkeson's bass line is insane.
4. The Black Crowes' "By Your Side" - I love the bluesy riff in this song and it's so recognizable (at least in The Black Crowes community).
5. AC/DC's "Flick of the Switch" - I love Malcolm Young's rhythm playing in this song and it's one of those AC/DC songs that's not overplayed.
6. Overkill's "The Years of Decay" - An epic music journey that tells a story.
7. Whitesnake's "Slide It In" - I don't listen to this band often, but the album overall is pretty dang good!
8. Saxon's "Call to Arms" - It's a beautiful, well-written song by the band and I've never heard them do anything like it before.
9. Richie Sambora's "Stranger in This Town" - The lyrics are relatable, I love the emotive guitar solo, and Sambora's vocals are amazing in this track, especially with his growls.
10. The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed" - Two words, Charlie Watts!
Another great UK Connection. Steven, out of the options you mentioned, The Last in Line was the correct choice. However, Dream Evil is the one.
I found it hard to narrow things down for favourites and off the top of my head difficult to find 5 least favourite title tracks that I own. Though two popped into my head Fear of the Dark and Never Say Die. Also, I don't like the title track to Piece of Mind.
Have to agree with Pete on Open Your Eyes, but frankly I have only listened to that album a few times. I do prefer Fish's version of I Can't Dance (Man with a Stick).
Great show as always. Some of mine😊 are falling out the SOT norm, but not that far out. Least faves are really hard.
Faves
John Martyn - One World
Nine Horses - Snowbourne Sorrow
Blue Nile - A Walk Across The Rooftops
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (many options here)
Black Sabbath - Mob Rules
Least
Genesis - Invisivible Touch
....and here i got stuck 😂 so some other faves...
Joan Armatrading - Stepping Out (bit of a cheat as that's a live album).
Girlschool - Demolition Boys
Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation
Prince - Purple Rain
Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates
Cockney Rebel - Psychomodo and
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk.
Funny episode! I connected the most to Stevens choises, especially the five worst. The first album I got on vinyl was Come out and play. I was not happy! That clinking-noise in the intro is from the movie Warriors (silly thing to put on a album) I liked Helloween a lot but dropped the band completely after Pink bunbbles, what was that??
My Favorite: Bad Company / Bad Company
The Outlaws / Hurry Sundown
Eagles / One Of These Nights
Steve Miller / Fly Like An Eagle
Foghat / Fool For The City
Great episode! Steven, actually Come out and Play is a take-off on the movie The Warriors, which i think is pretty cool! But i do agree with you on The Last in Line, one of my favorite Dio songs!
Brilliant 👍 ❤️ SOT
1. Megadeth: Holy Wars
2. Placebo: Without you I'm nothing
3. A-ha: Hunting high and low
4. Slayer: Reign in blood

Drinking a fabulous stout from Kalamazoo Michigan. Bells brewery Kalamazoo Stout. I highly recommend it. If you guys see anything from Bells Brewery, grab it.
Great to see Seven with Inside Love, couple of picks which only contain part of the album title would be The Oath from Don't Break The Oath by Mercyful Fate, Welcome to the DCC off Dead Club City from Nothing But Thieves , or is it Dundee City Council? Anyway apart from the obvious Burn and The Last In Line, i would go for, Alcatrazz - Island In The Sun, AC/DC - Highway to Hell, Tobruk - Wild on the Run (being a Bedfordian), Motorhead- Ace of Spades.
Great call on “Creatures”. Best KISS title track. Take away “I Still Love You”, and the album would be a masterwork.
So many Sabbath title tracks are epic. Fave band so biased I suppose.
Rush being a close second, I would go with “Test For Echo”.
I completely agree regarding I Still Love You! Thanks for watching.
I like *too old to rock 'n' roll: too young to die!* nice arrangement, british touch and great executed melodie by mr. ian anderson. this song is all about a popsong should be: tasty!
Always loved the track Nine Tonight!

Agreed Steven I'm well over Fear of the Dark. No Prayer for the dying was very disappointing, then Fear of the Dark I bowed out for a few years. Title track brings back those conflicted emotions.
As per my comment re. Genesis (which, now I've watched the programme, I find Pete said too!) - Steven also "cheated" with Bula Quo - as the track title (if I've got it right) is "Bula Bula Quo (Kua Ni Lega)". However, "Rockin' All Over the World" was a good one by them (imho).
