It's time to get to the Blind Man's Challenge.

I can't believe I'm saying this four minutes into the show.

But we're getting to the Blind Man's Challenge.

That's where his record collection and my record collection go head-to-head, El Ducaru.

And, yeah, we're going to play some songs from three albums each that we have selected.

We can't play any charting singles.

We can't play anything that was a hit.

We can't play anything we've already brought before.

And again, it's Bastard No. 1's very 80s heavy catalog.

Almost all 80s.

Almost all 80s, and mine spans 60s to 2017.

But you landed for me firmly in my TSR era.

So it's all early 2000s for this guy.

So that's the sound you're going to hear.

We always start off with our friend Bass Number One.

So what are we going with first?

All right, my friend.

So this is the first time that you have landed, I think, that have landed on one of the newer acquisitions that I had put in and adjusted my rows for.

Because I know I didn't have this originally.

Even though it is from Brian Adams.

I was going to say, you didn't have this? Is this a rare thing? Well, this is his debut from 1980, and it had no hits on it.

Ah.

So I started with You Want It, You Got It in 1981, which had a very minor hit called Lonely Nights on it.

It wasn't until 83, Cuts Like a Knife, where he had Straight from the Heart, Cuts Like a Knife, This Time, all that good stuff.

And he became a hit maker.
