Taking inspiration from the iconic Blur smash hit of the same name, this podcast will take a look at some of the greatest records of all time, and argue why their second track is, more often than not, the album’s standout.

Song 2 is in its second season, topping the charts on both Apple and Spotify, We have featured Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon, Air, Supergrass, Kelis, Evanescence, Placebo, MC Hammer, Maroon 5, R.EM, Hanson, New Radicals, Jet & Kate Nash and featured guest opinions from Ben of Biffy Clyro, Master Peace, Ed Lay of Editors, Frank Turner, Beabadoobee, Royksopp, Josh Ritter, Gregory Porter, Brutus, Nova Twins, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull and many, many more.

Don’t agree? Well, we don’t make the rules, but you can let Steps persuade you!
