RA/OR 164 - THE ONLY ONES

Another band, another episode. The Only Ones had something special, but they came along at a time when it was difficult to stand out and easy to implode. Yet as you'll hear on this episode the band made some great music in the short time that it existed.

RA/OR 163 - NILS LOFGREN

Nils Lofgren got his first record deal before he was out of his teens and he made four records with that band, Grin, before launching a solo career in 1975 with one of the best records of that decade. Although he never matched the quality of his first solo record Lofgren has had a long and very respectable career as a songwriter and as a member of the E Street Band. Listen as BJ plays his favorites from the Nils Lofgren discography.

RA/OR 162 - "HAIR" METAL 2

On episode 35, back in March of 2014, BJ took a closer look at the wide variety of bands damned to the purgatory of "hair" metal. On this episode BJ plays even more great songs by more bands lost to history simply because the style and image they reveled in became suddenly unfashionable.
