The RPM Show 23 Feb 2008
February 23rd, 2008

On this week’s show I will take you on a musical journey. There is a live tune by The Doors, music by Nirvana and Skid Row (the original 60’s groups), from the garage rock genre came The Sonics, The Wailers and Dean Carter and from the 1970’s there was tunes by Pink Fairies and Rocket From The Tombs.

From the 1980’s I included a track by the influential punk group Discharge and more recently in time there was tunes by Larry Wallis (ex Pink Fairies/Motorhead), Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros and Motorhead.

Any feedback would be fully appreciated, thank you.
