Happy New Year!!
This week, Frankie and I bring you the last of our "Best Last Albums"-- "The Long Run" by the Eagles. Released in fall '79, we kind of had a feeling that this album would be their final effort for awhile. Solo albums were soon to come-but who knew that it would be 15 years until new music and any live performances by the group would happen. Next week, our "Classic Conversations" take over until May '26; as we feature Fleetwood Mac. And we're glad you're enjoying our new "70s Rock Daily" Podcast!!
Back to our regular episodes this week, as Frankie and I begin finishing up our look at "Best Last Albums"--this week it's "Synchronicity" from the Police. Little did we know when this album was released in 1983 that this album would be the last from this trio. We hope you enjoyed our "BIG Christmas Show" last week, and that your holiday season is enjoyable. Happy New Year! We'll see in 2026!!
This week--It's our "BIG Christmas Show!!" So as you're welcoming family and friends, sipping hot chocolate, egg nog, or something a little more zesty, you can enjoy our trip down memory lane. Frankie and I recall some of our best Christmastime memories, our favorite meals for the big day, and of course, our Top 5 Christmas songs. Merry Christmas!
This week, we head back to 1969, for perhaps the best of our "Last Best Albums!" The Beatles' "Abbey Road." Frankie will tell you the story behind the famous album cover photo (and Paul's "death"); and I'll give you a little tidbit about the back cover. Also, we'll start running down our Top 10 Xmas Songs (from #10-#6 this week)...What do we have cooked up for you this holiday season? Find out this week!
Next week, is our "BIG Christmas Show!," so be sure to add that show to your Christmas week plans!
Season 15 kicks off this week with the last album by Simon & Garfunkel (at least the first time)...Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were heading in opposite directions at this point in early 1970; Paul to pursue his solo career, and Art with his budding acting career. "Bridge over Troubled Water" took nearly a year to complete as a result, yet out came some of their best work in this their 5th and final studio album. Next week, Frank and I look at perhaps the best of the last albums--"Abbey Road." And, in just 2 weeks, we'll have our "BIG Christmas Show!!"
Unfortunately, so many of our rockers have met with a tragic ending to their lives, and this week is one of the worst. In our continuing series, "Best Last Albums," it is the final album by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Street Survivors." Frankie and I will take a closer look at the album, and the details behind that horrible plane crash which occurred just days after the albums' release.
This week-it's our BIG 5th Anniversary Show!! Thanks so much for listening over the past half-decade!!

Next week: our final episode of Season 14, with a look at "Street Survivors"...the last album from Lynyrd Skynyrd, released just days before the tragic plane crash.
This week, our "Best Last Albums" takes us back to the fall of 1968 with "Electric Ladyland" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience! Only 3 studio albums were released before Jimi's untimely death a little more than 2 years later. Next week, join Frankie and me as we celebrate our "Big 5th Anniversary Show!! We've had hundreds of fun and informative topics over the 1/2 decade of Podcasts, and we'll head down memory lane next week.
