Stuck In Thee Garage #304: January 17, 2020

Milestones have a way of shifting on us. What once seemed like a recent event can soon fade into the rear view mirror. So here we are looking back a quarter century at 1995, chock in the middle of the '90s, just before the internet changed everything. Newspapers and radio were still hugely successful and people still bought CDs. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from '95 in hour 2 (and paid tribute to the late Neil Peart in hour 1).



Bill McNeal would probably hate this playlist:

Hour 1
