  • Very refreshing

    It’s so great to listen to a couple of guys just discuss great music and memories without trying to be “cool”, rude or negative. Thanks Tim and Frankie, I enjoy this very much and look forward to it every week. Even though I am far from home (I’m from the east coast of the US, but currently live in London) it takes me back to when I was a kid and looked forward to the songs on top-40 radio.

  • Pure entertainment!

    The entertainment from these 2 is great. I love when they talk about spending their money on 45s and then albums and concerts. I'm working my way through all the episodes. Thank you both!

Tim Friedmann's 70s Rock Conversations Season 14 Episode 5
Q: Tell me about Gilbert O'Sullivan.
The host and Frankie outline Gilbert O'Sullivan as an Irish singer-songwriter who found major success in the early 1970s with a string of top-40 hits, including Alone Again Naturally, and who later faced a protracted legal battle over stolen income and control of his music rights, which impacted his career trajectory despite eventually prevailing in court.
Classic Conversations-Billy Joel
Q: What was the best album from 1980?
Talking Heads' 'Remain in Light' stands out as my favorite from that year, though there were many great albums.
Classic Conversations-Billy Joel
Q: What was the best song by William Martin Joel?
While many people might not like it, the best song is 'Allentown', which has a Springsteen-like quality.

Justin is going out in the fall, and we have some concerts lined up, including the Flower Power Cruise.
