Untitled. Self-titled. Regardless of how to define it, ‘My Classic Album’ ends 2020 looking at blink-182’s celebrated 5th album with special guest Timmy Francis from pop punk pros As December Falls.

While Mike and Timmy were listening to this album in their formative years, blink-182 were going through a very experimental and transitional phase; one that would ensure the band were never quite the same again.

In what way did ‘I Miss You’ inspire a whole generation of bands?

What experience from producer Jerry Finn’s teenage years gave inspiration to TWO songs on the album?

How close was Robert Smith’s appearance not making it on to the album at all?

All these questions and more to be answered on another edition of ‘My Classic Album’

PLUS: Hear ‘Afterglow’, the latest single from Timmy’s band As December Falls!

‘Afterglow’ by As December Falls

Shauna Tohill, lead singer of Rews joins Mike as they express themselves about Madonna's final album of the 80's 'Like A Prayer'.

As Madonna looked to capitalise on the album market, 'Like A Prayer' brought forth a collection of reflective, controversial and deeply personal songs that were a huge part of Mike and Shauna's childhoods and stand as the pinnacle of the Queen of Pop's career.

How did a young Shauna react to the now iconic music videos for the likes of 'Express Yourself' and 'Cherish'?

Why was 'Love Song', a collaboration with Prince not released as a single?

Who was Jessie, the young girl who inspired the song 'Dear Jessie'?

All these questions and more will be answered on this edition of 'My Classic Album'.

PLUS: Hear 'Today We're Warriors', a standout track from Rews' latest album 'Warriors'.
