Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 31 ratings
  • If you love 70's and 80's power pop and melodic AOR, then 1000 Greatest Misses is for you! Each week, Chris and Paul explore 5 songs in the rock and roll cannon that should have been hits, but just missed. It's not just limited to 70's and 80's songs, there are some more modern ones that are featured as well. But if you enjoy exploring the archives of rock music and discovering songs you didn't know you didn't know, 1000 Greatest Misses will not disappoint!
