Queen- The Game 45th Anniversary- Brian May, Roger Taylor

It was “The Game” that crowned Queen #1 worldwide forty-five years ago, precisely because of the balance of hits "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Another One Bites the Dust", "Play the Game" with the blistering "Dragon Attack", "Rock It", and "Sail Away Sweet Sister". Brian May and Roger Taylor are suited up to play “The Game” here In the Studio.

HEART- Heart’85 @40- Nancy Wilson, Ann Wilson

Two of my all-time faves remain the cinderella story beginnings of Heart in 1976 with "Dreamboat Annie" and the "comeback" album almost a decade later, "Heart". This hit machine in 1985 reinvented Heart for the MTV Eighties with "If Looks Could Kill","What About Love","Never","These Dreams", and "Nothing at All". Wow. Nancy Wilson and singing sistuh Ann Wilson join me here In the Studio on the fortieth anniversary of "Heart" ('85).
