Time to celebrate! 2026 is the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. We go back to the Bicentennial, 1976, and look at the songs from the charts back then. This was quite a year for variety, with Thin Lizzy and Walter Murphy representing two extremes.

Final round! Last chance to chase those winter blues away with some cheery sunshine. It's the sunshine of your love and you are the sunshine of our lives. Don't let the sun catch you crying, there's a lot to be thankful for. We wish you all a joyous and wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Ooh! I bet you thought that was the Beach Boys! But nope, it's the Sunrays, and believe me when I say they live for the sun. Even heroes wear sunscreen though--there's only one Sunshine Superman who gets away with soaking up the sun. Chase away those SAD winter blues with our Sunny Songs series.
Did you soak up the sun? Did you tell everyone to lighten up? Well Sunny, it may not be a lazy Sunny Afternoon, but winter can still be a time to stand up, stretch the Kinks out, and say "Good Day, Sunshine!"
If you're in a part of the world that's getting the cold and the wind and the rain and the snow, it's time to add some sunshine to your day! We'll talk about fun sunny songs, from The Beatles to One Republic and everything in between.
One of the greatest Concept Albums of all time gets a full exploration: Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. English co-host Steve Atkins talks in detail about the culture and everyday life that informed the stories in every song.
The incredible story of Blue Oyster Cult, Imaginos, and a random-access myth decades in the making.
From Ziggy Stardust to Marilyn Manson, we discuss legacy Concept Albums, ideas that span multiple artists, one inspiring the other. This is part 2 of a 4-part episode series.
Recorded on Memorial Day (US) 2024, we take you on a four-part journey through some amazing Concept albums. There are far too many to discuss them all, so we carefully curated curiosities just for you.
We're back! After a down year, here we are with some of the best love songs of the 1960s
It's a big day for Steve! Join our Jubilation Celebration of the Island Nation's Coronation Situation! We celebrate with silly behavior and royalty-themed music.
It's a big day for Steve! Join our Jubilation Celebration of the Island Nation's Coronation Situation! We celebrate with silly behavior and royalty-themed music.
As we wrap up our look at the famous musicans whose parents were also famous musicians, we can't help but think about how delightful it must be to grow up with musical talent and encouragement and yet how hard it also must be to step out of mom or dad's shadow and do things your own way. We celebrate these hard-working entertainers for all their efforts to bring better music to the world.
We share some great examples of the children of musicians who went on to themselves become famous musicians.
We go further into the very famous, their famous kids, and how a good legacy can bring good music across the generations.
