Ep. 20: Soap Opera (1975)

Episode twenty of Thoroughly Kinky covers the band's fourteenth studio album, the 1975 theatrical concept album Soap Opera. The project originally began as a televised musical theatre piece broadcast on Granada Television in 1974, before being adapted and expanded into a full-length record in May 1975. The plot follows an ordinary man named Norman who is possessed by a rock God named Starmaker. The lyrics explore themes of celebrity, domesticity, and the mundane nature of the daily routine.

While the record failed to chart in the UK, it reached a modest #51 on the US Billboard 200.

As usual, your hosts Adam (the megafan) and Liam (the newbie) go through the album track by track to decide whether Soap Opera has them bubbling with excitement, or is just old bathwater.
