    A country boy just wants to cook, but the concrete jungle has other plans. Well, it can plan all it wants. Elton, Zac Brown, Sabbath, Mellencamp, and Skynyrd battle it out for a solid spot on the list. Is Iron Claw any good? Better than White Claw?

  2. S2 Ep. 8 "The Franchise Pt. 2" Heart, CCR, Led Zeppelin, Creed, Collective Soul

    A new feature! Band catalog rankings. Hey, it'll be less disappointing than Aaron Rogers' first game or the movie, Continental Divide. So...

  3. S2 Ep. 7 "The Franchise Pt. 1" Elvis, Iron Maiden, John Mellencamp, Queen, David Bowie

    It's that time of year. Your host will be heretofore distracted by America's Passion: Song Battles! We've got a monster battle in Ep. 7 along with a brand new short story read by Jeff Musgrave AND a killer track by the Metal Byrds. And my voice isn't creepy this time... I hope.

  4. S2 Ep. 6 "That Exquisite Strength" Tourniquet, Waylon Jennings, U2, Sweet, Boston

    A town with a secret. A young man with a chip on his shoulder. A Song Battle only Randy Jenner could produce. And another great song by Bryan Duncan to play us out. Listen to Bryan Duncan on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/1FNmqPy2DuIQkZEWSzO3Cw?si=vznHt4j6TpulN1EhqZOQTQ

  9. S2 Ep1 "The Call of Chautauqua" Beatles, Stryper, Metallica, Tourniquet, Black Sabbath

    A battle of Rock Hall of Famers vs Christian metal titans. A brand new tale of do gooders unleashing evil read by a legit pro. Plus a movie review and epic track by The Metal Byrds!

    “I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.” -Pee Wee Herman

  26. Ep. 45 Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Tom Petty

    It's a hard road when it's all over, but here in the centre of eternity--or the end of the world as it were--there's a sweet magnolia.

    Spinning Rosetta's Tone, The Metal Byrds, Snow Child, Reckless Ways, and Eric C Powell

  28. Ep. 43 Creedence Clearwater Revival, David Bowie, Boston, Metallica, Queen

  29. Ep. 42 Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Rush, U2, The Cars

    In which I review the movie, Electric Jesus. Artillo plumbs the depths of the loneliness of a Sunday morning. Randy Jenner barely keeps his job.

  30. Ep. 41 Peter Gabriel, Elvis, Beatles, Heart, John Mellencamp

    It's prom 1977, or a wedding 1994, 1961? A 'happening" 1967? Another prom 1979? Wait, it's a patio party 1980. That's it.

  31. Ep. 40 Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan, Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Guns N Roses

    On the road with Skynyrd, on a specific road with Bob, fending of JWs with Ozzy, making up for all the times they didn't say "baby" with U2, and GnR's first impressions of LA

  32. Ep. 39 Stryper, Elvis, David Bowie, John Denver, The Cars

    A Sunset Strip band seriously eschews the comforts of loose women, The King pulls a Metallica and Phones. It. In., the Tall Thin Duke pretends to do the opposite of our Sunset Strip brothers, a NASA aficionado waxes poetic about bucolic beauty, and The Cars drive.

  33. Ep. 38 The Outfield, Def Leppard, Creedence Clearwater Revival, U2, Tourniquet

    A sportsball classic, a metal groundbreaker, a roots rock classic, a very lucrative song about why you should feel guilty about poverty, and a funky-groove metal gem from the CHM heavy weight champs.

  34. Ep. 37 Iron Maiden, Skynyrd, Phil Collins, Black Sabbath, Prince

    War, Warnings, Yearnings, Earnings, and Sacrifice. Four deeply profound songs and one that's just awesome anyway.

  35. Ep. 36 Beatles, Elvis, Rolling Stones, Genesis, Boston

    Boston slaps us with a banger, which would mean something completely different to The Beatles any day of their life. Elvis demonstrates peak vocal Elvis, Genesis isn't anywhere, and The Stones are making an ever so subtle pass at you.

  36. Ep. 35 Tourniquet, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Creed, Janis Joplin

    Millionaires' Malaise! How does a naturally sunny personality like your host deal with five real downers? He gets Emo Sean, Artillo, and Jenn to tell him everything's going to be MEH!

    The Purple One invents a new sport, Tom and the boys think you're a lucky gal, Skynyrd cranks the party past 11, Stryper drops some theology you might want to ponder, and the Stones create sportsball's greatest riff.

    Pathetic TV addicts, Bittersweet beginning to Autumn, Creepy 60s dude, Deep Dude Thoughts, and Love's Lament

  39. Ep. 32 Bob Dylan, Elton John, U2, BB King, Creed, Statler Brothers

    Bob runs afoul of the ladies, Elton (Bernie, really) yearns for the yoke, BB King shows The Edge how to play guitar, Creed share affirmations, and The Statler Brothers demolish my sarcasm-o-meter.

  40. Ep. 31 Rush, Queen, Tom Petty, Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin

    Rush gets out of town, Queen ducks and covers, Tom Petty does both on account of his refugee status, GNR's evidently too fancy for Boone's Farm, and Led Zep swings for the fences. Check out the lists at https://top1000radio.blogspot.com/

  41. Ep. 30 Randy Rhodes, Tourniquet, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Donnie Iris

    Two guitar titans battle it out with Christian Metal's heavyweight champs, the strongest band in the history of Northern California, and a highly regarded one hit wonder.

  42. Ep. 29 Jason Aldean, Queen, Tom Petty, Neil Diamond, Iron Maiden

    My review of Daisy Jones and The Six, Small towns, epic songs, big crowds, feel good blues, and don't tread on me anthems. Artillo and James Grainger add their reviews. Check out https://top1000radio.blogspot.com/ for access to The List of 1000 in Progress and The Challengers.

  43. Ep. 28 Elvis, Black Sabbath, Elton John, Warren Zevon, Creedence Clearwater Revival

    You have the privilege to struggle with these songs. The King of Rock and Roll sings about The King of Kings, three blokes carry on without their singer, Elton sings about a girl, Warren's an operator, and CCR provides the soundtrack for all of it.

  44. E. 27 Elvis, Guns N Roses, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Metallica

    Two songs made up on the fly, one featuring the alto recorder, one about a wolf, and The Colonel's wife's favorite Gene Autry tune.

  45. Ep. 26 Tom Petty, Heart, Boston, Cody Johnson, U2

    Dear Rodeo, There's some dudes from Florida, a couple of formidable ladies, and some Massholes staring at me like I don't belong on this list. I hope the judge ain't blind.

  46. Ep. 25 Rush, Elvis, Rolling Stones, Guns 'N Roses, Green Day

    Do you know what The Trees, White Rabbit and To Live is to Die have in common? Artillo's finna tell you.

  47. Ep. 24 Prince, Bowie, Eagles, U2, Mellencamp

    A knock down drag out between a guy in heels, well two really, some laid back Cali boomers, some Irishmen, and a little American farmer dude.

  48. Ep. 23 Sabbath, Queen, Ozzy, Led Zeppelin, Elton John

    Short but sweet!

  49. Ep 22 Tourniquet, Coheed and Cambria, CCR, John Mellencamp, Johnny Cash

    One thing about tonight's episode, a dysfunctional domicile is likley to be crumblin down.

  50. Ep. 21 Skynyrd, Peter Gabriel, Stryper, Elvis, Heart

    Mr. Blue Sky kicks Feed My Frankenstein to the curb.
