  • Episode 024 - Album Battle Redux - Styx vs. Starship
    I brought this episode back because I wanted to improve on it by trimming the file. I had long pauses and I was a little redundant at times. What I needed was an outline. Oh well! I kept the commentary short on some songs and added a cold open before the theme song. Instead of a bell ringing at the start of the song, there is now a gong. Overall, I trimmed 10 minutes from the original episode. A lot of work went into trimming and adding to this. What you are going to listen is somewhat better than when I originally uploaded this in October 2023. A lot of work went into trimming and adding to this. Please enjoy this episode again if you have heard it before. If you have not heard it before, My Facebook page is The Musical Spot. Check it out. There are Song of the Day posts along with posts of articles from around the World Wide Web about bands and albums along with my episodes.Substack is where you can also find my episodes.

    I searched for songs about presidents or had president in the title. They tended to lean one way or the other. I went a different direction and found a 1990s band from Seattle, WA. Find out who the band is and what songs they composed. There are a couple of surprise songs. Press play now (or ASAP).

  • Episode 020 - Song Battle: Blur vs. Oasis
    Hi there!Blur vs. Oasis was all the rage in the United Kingdom during the mid 1990s. This was fought in the UK tabloids. Someone from Blur did this and someone from Oasis did that.
