What is the greatest year in music history?  Christopher and Tom weigh in and, not surprisingly, their answers are very different.  It prompts a rather lively and contentious discussion.

          Plus we pay tribute to the many artists we lost in 2022. But don’t expect this to be a mournful show.  Think of it more as a celebration of these artists.   Included this week:

• Olivia Newton-John talks about her career
• Meatloaf on how “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” could appeal to people of any era
• Ronnie Hawkins on his love of Canadian music, and other sordid tales
• Jerry Lee Lewis in one of the most weirdly chilling clips in our collection
• Dan McCafferty explains how Nazareth got their name
• Plus a clip from the most listened to episode in FLW history

And on When Rock Stars Attack – Jann Arden takes hilarious aim at an American singer.

We finish the show with another edition of the epic smackdown that is “TJ vs The VJ” as Tom & Christopher try to stump each in a test of musical knowledge.
