  • Love The Concept

    I prefer music form the window of 1977 through 1997. the 90-92 window that saw the Brit POP invasion coupled with grunge and shoegaze took the college rock left of dial scenes and borke thewm wide open for the masses. So much great "alternative" rock was put forth in those early 90's. a vibrant time POD to delve into - a great episodic listening adventure.
