Generation Mix Episode 35 - Paul Simon & Simon & Garfunkel

Wow. Another unfeasibly long gap between episodes. Sorry about that. On the other hand - this is our longest episode yet as our conversation is increasingly that - a conversation rather than Neil banging on too much. Joel has some slightly deeper insights and Neil really goes off on a diatribe about modern music and his perception of the lazy writing.
Meanwhile, the music of Paul Simon is our focus - both solo and with Art Garfunkel.
The revenge is a Grande one (you'll get the joke later).

Wow - it's been 3 months of inactivity. Joel wasn't looking forward to recording this, but a bonus from the delay has been an increasing ability to analyse and understand music so he really digs in on this episode.
18 tracks drawn from Clapton's entire career from Cream to the solo years.
We also have a sponsor - sort of...

Okay - firstly it's been a while as Joel has been super busy with all the usual end of term activities filling up his calendar. So, apologies for the delay.
Also, this is an episode that might be of limited interest as it's on someone who, frankly, many of you may not be aware - the worship leader and songwriter Brian Doerksen.
He's been a huge influence on Neil over the last 30 years.
Sit back, listen with an open mind and who knows.
Finally, Joel's revenges are getting quite mild lately. Perhaps he's run out of awful stuff?

Generation Mix Episode 32 - The Pet Shop Boys

In this episode, Neil and Joel enjoy, and that really is the right word, the music of seminal 80's electronic pop duo - The Pet Shop Boys.
So much good music from their entire career up to the point the CD was made and as a result, Joel does a revenge that is really not a revenge at all.

Generation Mix Episode 31 - The Beatles Vol II
Sunday May 08, 2022
Sunday May 08, 2022
It's our first repeated artist and it can only be the greatest band that ever there was - The Beatles.
Neil had always intended a Vol II for this artist right back at the very start of the "Daddy's Introduction To..." series and so a few wonderful gems were purposefully held back for this volume.
So Don't Pass Us By, join us for a Savoy Truflly with a Walrus and Long Tall Sally.
Joel's revenge is not commensurate with how much he actually enjoyed the CD which I don't think is really that fair!

Episode 30 take a trip on the Road to Hell to the music of Middlesboro's finest son - Chris Rea.
It's safe to say that Joel's enthusiasm levels for this one are low, at least until the last few tracks.
His revenge is...OK. I wonder if anyone else hears the same similarities in the singer's voice to that of Gerard Way. Let us know over on the Generation Mix and Pockenrop Facebook page.
Meanwhile, Joel has joined me on my youtube channel on a fortnightly basis to discuss our top 100 songs. There are several revenges featured in his lists.

For episode 29 it's the BoyBand-turned-ManBand, Take That.
It's safe to say that Neil was most assuredly NOT a Take That admirer in the 90's. But, their great comeback kinda won him over. Great songs and top notch arrangements mean that the second coming of Take That was far more enjoyable that their first.
This is predominantly focussed on the return era, with a couple of the all time early greats mixed in.
Joel get's his revenge and it's not too bad if I'm honest. I liked the song he picked more on second hearing whilst editing this.

Episode 28 is a really fun dive into the world of the pop-punk trio Green Day. The band consists of Billie-Joe Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Mike Dirnt on bass and Tre Cool on drums.
More than any other DIT, this one has won Joel over and the band has ascended into one of his favourites, if not his actual favourite band.
Tracks are drawn from Dookie through to Revolution Radio and it was a fun listen and review throughout.
As a result, there is a fairly nice Joel's Revenge - or is it?

Generation Mix Episode 27 - Third Day
Thursday Feb 03, 2022
Thursday Feb 03, 2022
This episode is a dive into the music of a Christian rock band by the name of Third Day. But wait, don't skip it - they're really good! Covering their entire 20+ year recording career, this compilation was one of the most enjoyable for Dad to listen back to. Joel is non-committal to begin with but then gradually warms to the tracks with a few real highlights along the way. He also get's embarrassed but you'll have to listen to the end to find out why - it's a Dad/Son thing!
Joel's revenge - after the last one was dark, you'd think this would lighten up a tad. But no - I'm a bit worried about what he's listening to to be fair.
Come back next week as it's one were really looking forward to - fairly easy clue this time...

![Generation Mix Episode 26 - Slade](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/ep-logo/pbblog9358884/20200821_080842_300x300.jpg)

Generation Mix Episode 26 - Slade
Sunday Jan 09, 2022
Sunday Jan 09, 2022
Ah - Slade! Not just for Christmas - and in this episode not for Christmas at all. This is the longest episode we've yet put out. This is probably because Neil considers Slade one of the most under-rated bands. Slade hit the number one spot 6 times in the first half of the 70s yet they don't seem to be as celebrated as other 70s hitmakers.
These 20 tracks - all written by Holder and Lea are from across their 20+ year career, taking in major hits, minor hits, albums cuts and the occasional obscure b-side.
Joel has a revenge to enact and this takes the podcast into a fairly deep and somewhat darker direction.
