Stuck In Thee Garage #477: May 26, 2023

Commercial radio is way past its prime, but one of the things I used to like as a kid was hearing rock block weekends on the local rock stations. They'd play three or four songs by the same artist and it was pretty great. As much as those stations suck now, I revived rock blocks for the entirety of this week's Stuck In Thee Garage. And I didn't even have to take a station hostage to do it!

This playlist is as timeless as Joe Mantegna's perm in that 30-year-old photo:
