Welcome to the 7th season of The Story of Rock and Roll radio Show. S7E1 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 4 Jan 2024. We kicked off with David Bowie and It’s No Game (Part 1) which feels like the perfect song for where we find ourselves in 2024.
The Diabolical Challenge has had a make-over. In Season 6 I presented 4 albums from a specific year and listeners got to vote on which one they would choose if they could only take one. Well with 52 shows in 2023, we ran out of years. The new Diabolical Challenge looks at things alphabetically. We will do two cycles A – Z to get us through to the end of Season 7. Starting at ‘A” we had:
ACDC – Flick of the Switch
Avenged Sevenfold – City of Evil
Accept – Balls to the Wall and
Audioslave – Audioslave
The Immortals track, a track over 7 minutes long that never gets airplay but is an amazing example of a band or artist at their best stays as is and we kicked off the year with Grand Funk Railroad and a track called ‘Inside Looking Out’ and that one was especially dedicated to Norman Roux.
