    Alphabet Soup Series - "C"

    Alphabet Soup Series - "C"

    This week in the “Alphabet Soup Series”, we hit the letter "C". Let's find out what bands, albums, and songs we end up sharing.
    A new series from the mind of "Hollywood" Pooni. We are calling this one Alphabet Soup. Here's the idea - 1 Band, 1 Album, 2 Songs, and 1 Movie all starting with a single letter in the alphabet. We will try and focus on lesser known bands, albums, and songs, and then try to learn and share a little about them. We promise it will rock!

    Huey Lewis And The News "Sports" At 40

    This week we invite Bill Algee from The Ages Of Rock Podcast to go track by track through “Sports” the 3rd Studio Album release by Huey Lewis & The News.
    Each month in 2023 we will cover a studio album release celebrating its 40th anniversary.
    We will go outside the hard rock and metal box at times during this series and visit albums we just think are great. As always we will invite a special guest to tag along and break up the disagreements that Sonny and I will no doubt have. We will also get you the listener involved and have you pick 2 albums from our list for our review to round out the year.

    In this new series debut, "The Dirty Dozen", we are checking in with listeners and finding out what dozen Kiss songs they think are pure crap. Before you go and pick all songs from 1 era or 1 album, we have a few rules in place to help spread that crap across the career plain.
