We're revisiting Pink Floyd's trippy past today with a tour de force by keyboard wiz Richard Wright. His highlight from the Meddle set, of course, is the album-side long Echoes, but this being commercial radio, I certainly can't make time for that one. Next up? One of These Days, which is just as cool, and actually moves, fo
Forget the soapy ballads and love songs - Bryan Adams had cool beginnings before he hit it big. The first album in 1980 went nowhere here in the States but turned some heads in Canada. The second one was huge in Canada and even enjoyed po
A fan fave by Nazareth gets on today, Beggar's Day from their biggest album, Hair Of The Dog. It didn't get the attention the bigger hits got but maybe that's a good thing - we're not sick of it! Plus you'll get two for one; I like tracking Rose In The Heather, right after it. 5:20pm. Out of
Mid-West progressive rockers Kansas were so huge at one time, it's hard to believe that only 2 of their songs get any kind of airplay anymore, and for the most part, only on classic rock stations!

Very loud, as today's vinyl vault track will prove. Let's get back to Fly By Night for the lead off track, Anthem. With or without earplugs, around 5:20pm. Out of town? Listen live
The two guitarists you hear on While My Guitar Gentle Weeps will be featured today on a track they did almost 20 years later. George Harrison's hit album from 1987 Cloud Nine featured a track with his old friend Eric Clapton again sharing lead guitar work. Although the big hit Got My Mind Set On You got most of
We're getting into a popular number from 1986 today that Keith Emerson and Greg Lake did with Cozy Powell called Touch and Go. It's forgotten now which makes it perfect for our Vinyl Vault. It wa
The Rolling Stones in 1969 weren't about too many jokes and laughs. The album that year was called 'Let It Bleed' and it's first track was Gimme Shelter. A sign of the times maybe? Shortly after its release came the Altamont tragedy.
The Hooters, having nothing to do with orange hot pants or sub par restaurant food, were an American pop rock act that peaked during the 1980's. I should say "are" because the founding members still
