Friday afternoon and we’re off to the races!  The Summer 2024 season of Grab A Stack of Rock has commenced and Jex Russell was there to ring in this happy tradition.  The theme(s) for this week are:  Top 11 Albums & Songs to Play with the Windows Down!  Summer is the time for rocking the road, and Jex and I brought the thunder with two excellent Nigel Tufnel Top Ten lists!

Highlights:

• Music on four of the major physical formats:  CD, vinyl, cassette and 8-track!
• Lots of Canadian content:  Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, & Quebec represented!
• Stories of years gone by:  1991, 1992, 1996, 2002, 2023 and today.
• A brand new release making the list.
• Bad behavior  with Bob and Peter.
• Jex and the Chili Peppers.

Show notes:

• We started with 3 unboxings:  Record Store Day 2024, Teepublic shirts, and a gift from Jex Russell.  This gift relates to the Kick Axe show that I did with Gran Arthur last week.
• There was a quick discussion of the new Motley Crue song “Dogs of War”.  Who’s the weak link in Motley Crue?
• The debut of the Fire Pit on Grab A Stack of Rock

This show was dedicated to my Uncle Paul, and my mother in law Debbie, who inspired some of these picks.  It’s also in the spirit of friendship and good memories with Jex’s friend Lucas, and my friends Peter, Bob and Trev.

See you next week for Top 11 Marillion albums with Todd Evans and Uncle Meat!
