This week- It's R.E.M!! Frank and I will be discussing what has made this band so popular since the early '80s, as a campus favorite at the Univ. of Georgia. And now, more than 40 years later-their music sustains. Enjoy!!

It's a brand-new season! Frankie and I kick off Season 14 with a look at one of the long-time rockers--U2. The group from Dublin, Ireland has been on the scene since the late-70s, and the 4 members have been together since the start. Next week, another Rock Hall of Famer--REM.

Thanks for joining us for Season 14!

This week, we take a break from our usual conversations, with a look back to the year 1975! As Frankie says, this is the year that everybody came back out with great music. So much else happened that year as well, and Frank & I will get into it in this episode.

Next week, we'll begin a brand-new season of shows--U2 will be front-and-center as our Featured Artists. Enjoy!

This week, Frank and I wrap up a terrific Season 13, with the Debut Album of Pat Benatar's: "In the Heat of the Night." This one began a better than 4-decade career as a rocker, along with her husband-guitarist Neil Geraldo. Next week, we'll bring back a Classic Conversation from the year 1975; the year Frankie says "They all came out with great rock 'n roll albums!!" In 2 weeks, we'll start Season 14 with U2 as our Featured Artist.

This week, certainly NOT an unlucky episode! Frank and I are featuring a not-to-well-known Debut album, but still a really good one--and one that Frankie wanted to hit, "The Clash." First released in the UK in '77; then two years later here in the US. Next week, we'll conclude Season 13 with a look at Pat Benatar's first album, "In the Heat of the Night," from 1979. Enjoy!

As Frankie and I begin to wrap up Season 13, we continue with our "Best Debut Albums." This week, It's George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass." Hear how many top musicians performed with George on this 6-sided set! Next week, one of Frank's favorites: "The Clash." Enjoy!

This week, Phil Collins is featured with his debut album "Face Value." Next week, it's George Harrison's goodbye to the Beatles with his "All Things Must Pass;" which may-or may not be his actual debut album. Enjoy!

At the dawn of 1980, we were still dealing with the final big days of Disco, but things were finally changing-and for the better! Tom Petty's "Damn the Torpedoes," "Glass Houses" by Billy Joel, and the debut album from Christopher Cross all dominated the album charts at the start of the new decade. Cross' debut effort would become a 5-time Grammy Winner, including one for Best New Artist. "Christopher Cross" is this week's Best Debut Album. Next week, Phil Collins burst on the scene with his debut, "Face Value." Enjoy!

This week's Best Debut Album comes from Tom Petty. Though not widely known when released in 1976, a few of the songs have gone on to become staples of Classic Rock!! Next week, the debut from Christopher Cross will be front-and-center (1980). The album went on to win 5 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. Enjoy!

Hope you had a terrific 4th of July holiday weekend! This week, Frankie and I head back to 1969 with the "Best Debut Album," Crosby, Stills & Nash. You'll learn how the trio got together, after some behind the scenes dealings of 2 powerful record company executives. Next week, we'll have Tom Petty's debut from 1976. Enjoy!
