Well, it's a fitting theme for this playlist, given how long it's been since we dropped a new episode. But this one is well worth the wait. It's literally... about TIME. Or at least, all the best songs with "time" in the title. We'll hear from Huey Lewis & the News, REO Speedwagon, Sublime, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Billy Joel, Styx, Owl City, Cyndi Lauper, and so many more bangers. Carve out a chunk of time for this one, you won't regret it.

Our Best Breakout Album this week, as we start the month of June '26, is "Hi Infidelity" by REO Speedwagon! It took a while for this Windy City group to find huge commercial success, but Epic Records stuck with them, and in November of 1980 came what would be a 10x Platinum Album, featuring hits like "Keep on Loving You," "Take it on the Run" and "In Your Letter." The album spent a record 15-weeks at the top of the Billboard Album Chart, becoming the LP of the year in 1981. Next week, Frank and I will take a look at another Breakout Album, "Silk Degrees" by Boz Scaggs. Enjoy!
This week, Tim will be flying solo (Frankie is out for the week on the Injured List) as we look at another in our series of "Best Breakout Albums"...it's "The Stranger" released in fall of 1977 by Billy Joel and Columbia Records. What songs are still on the air today? What do I really like about this breakout album? Find out this week! Next time, Frankie returns for REO Speedwagon's "Hi Infidelity."
Una emisión donde el AOR, el hard melódico y la estética retrofuturista de los ochenta se funden en un mismo pulso. Paco y Señor Melódico te invitan a un viaje sonoro que mezcla novedades de 2026, rescates gloriosos y clásicos que siguen latiendo con fuerza. Pero esta semana, Rebel Heart no solo suena distinto: también se ve distinto. El cartel de la emisión, creado por Fernando Nadales, es un homenaje directo a la película TRON (1982). Esa estética de neón, circuitos infinitos, motos de luz y geometría digital que definió una era vuelve reinterpretada con el sello de Fernando: líneas limpias, brillo eléctrico, atmósfera futurista y un guiño claro al espíritu ochentero que tanto identifica al programa. No es solo una portada: es una puerta de entrada a un universo. Y mientras la imagen marca el tono visual, la presencia de Zenón Pérez completa el círculo. Como community manager, Zenón es quien mantiene viva la conversación, quien enciende la chispa en redes, quien transforma cada emisión en un punto de encuentro. Él amplifica, conecta, dinamiza y convierte Rebel Heart en una comunidad real, no solo un programa. Su labor es el puente entre el estudio y los oyentes: la voz que conversa, que anima, que mantiene el latido encendido incluso cuando la música se detiene. Este es el equipo ,la produccion musical Señor Melódico, la estética futurista de Fernando Nadales y la energía comunicativa de Zenón Pérez y un servidor locutando y dirigiendo , esta emisión Nº 65 se convierte en algo más que un listado de canciones. Es una experiencia. Un viaje en neón. Un corazón rebelde que late en azul eléctrico. Sobre esa estética luminosa y futurista, tú y Señor Melódico levantáis una emisión cargada de energía: novedades de 2026, himnos del AOR moderno, rescates gloriosos y clásicos que siguen latiendo. Generation Radio, Creye, Acacia Avenue, Kaasin, King Zebra, Transatlantic Radio, 3ZKS… y también nombres que sostienen la historia como Drive, She Said o REO Speedwagon.

May 20, 2026 They Tried to Undo 100 Years of His Family's Work Herb Sargent w/ Sargent Corporation – DT 444 Herb Sargent is the Board Chair of Sargent Corporation, a 100-year-old employee-owned civil construction company in Maine, and co-host of the Starbuck & Sargent podcast. He bought back his family's company — six times the size of his own — the same year a German-owned parent company tried to undo everything his grandfather built. He reveals why the construction industry's biggest problem isn't workforce shortage, it's leadership — and why employee ownership might be the only vehicle left to rebuild the American middle class. His new book, “The Hard Work Starts Today,” documents the 100-year Sargent journey, from simple REO Speedwagon to a 9-figure business.

Rock Talk Studio: Reviewing Rock 'n' Roll Books and Documentaries
A new book, Raised on Radio, looks at a controversial time in rock: 1976–1986, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Def Leppard, Heart, and Toto ruled the airwaves. Many of the artists contribute to this oral history, and this episode looks not only at why the book is worth your time and money, but also asks: If critics pretty much dismissed most of these bands, why has their music prevailed?Support the showemail Big Rick at:info@rocktalkstudio.com
The fastest way to time-travel is to press play on a song you haven't heard in years, then realize you still know every word. We pull up the Billboard Hot 100 from May 23, 1981 and take it for a spin, bouncing between classic rock, radio pop, and the kind of tracks that were simply unavoidable if you lived anywhere near a car stereo or a skating rink.Along the way, we dig into what's actually happening inside these hits: Billy Squier's “The Stroke” as a music business story, Santana's “Winning” as a case of “this does not sound like Santana,” and the emotional weight of George Harrison's “All Those Years Ago,” made even heavier by the Beatles connections around it. We also hit Tom Petty's “The Waiting,” Hall and Oates' “You Make My Dreams,” and the early MTV effect that turned songs into permanent memories, for better or worse.Then we get personal: a Jefferson Starship chorus becomes a full-on dinner-table bit, Rick Springfield's “Jessie's Girl” comes with a wild songwriting backstory, and REO Speedwagon's “Take It On The Run” gets a deep breakdown of why a vocal and a guitar solo can feel like one continuous emotional punch. We close out the chart with the weird brilliance of Stars on 45 and the long reign of Kim Carnes' “Bette Davis Eyes,” then jump to a modern live-music recap featuring Kevin Kinney, Peter Buck, and a surprise Mike Mills appearance, plus a quick Ramones spotlight and a final Van Halen 5150 tangent.If you love 1980s music, classic rock storytelling, and honest takes on music history, subscribe, and share this with a friend who lived through it.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

This week the people demanded it, and we complied! Therefore, we give you “Grave Mistake: ZEBRA Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. This is our celebration of an amazing power trio from New Orleans / Long Island that has been largely forgotten in the pantheon of rock n' roll. They also happen to be very musically proficient, with a bona fide guitar god in the band that rarely gets the praise he deserves! This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Captain Content casually mentioned a few weeks ago and our socials lit up like a Christmas tree. While their first album went gold in the US, they have been largely forgotten in the hard rock world today. We think they should be remembered as titans of rock alongside the likes of RUSH and TRIUMPH! Songs this week include: Zebra - “Tell Me What You Want” from Zebra (1983) Zebra - “As I Said Before” from Zebra (1983) Zebra - “No Tellin' Lies” from No Tellin' Lies (1984) Zebra - “Drive Me Crazy” from No Tellin' Lies (1984) Zebra - “Better Not Call” from 3.V (1986) Zebra - “Wait Until The Summer's Gone” from Zebra Live (1990) Zebra - “K.K. Is Hiding” from IV (2003) Zebra - “Walk With You” from Live At City Winery (Boston, MA 10/11/25) (2025) Zebra - “Who's Behind The Door” from Zebra Live (1990) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

Send us Fan MailWhen James Weigel left his home in Metamora, Illinois for Chicago, he brought along his central Illinois, no-nonsense rural outlook on life and choosing a musical path. Central Illinois is rich in great musical traditions--from REO Speedwagon to Alison Krauss to the late Dan Fogelberg. Weigel draws from that tradition and has made a home for himself up north, while keeping that downstate sense of steadfast determination to make his music work for him. An avid player of many stringed instruments, Weigel by day can be found at the northside musical temple of Flatts and Sharpe (where Martin bought his first bass guitar) providing lessons, participating in occasional sessions and having a finger on the pulse of the local performing venues. His network of venues varies from the local watering holes to listening rooms. Weigel's songs are also varied for the occasion, fitting easily into the neighborhood setting without compromising any of his integrity. The result is a man who can travel but chooses to make his neighborhood his castle keep for his musical ambitions. Excellent song crafting and musicianship guarantees that this farm boy from Metamora is not casting his musical pearls to any swine any time soon.Learn more about James by visiting:https://www.ensembleschools.com/flatts-and-sharpe/staff/james-weigel/https://www.facebook.com/JamesWeigelUnderTheFloorboardsMusic/Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.

The most lean-into-it power ballad you'll ever find that's always working hard at something, and a cool cover about making it work. Keep On Loving You, originally by REO Speedwagon, covered by Cigarettes After Sex. Outro music is Lorelei, by the Cocteau Twins.
In this episode of Car Con Carne, James heads to downtown Joliet to step inside a three-story vault of local musical history. He sits down with founder Ron Romero to explore how a "germ of an idea" from 2012 evolved into the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66. Why you should listen: The "Underdog" Location: Discover why this massive project planted its roots in Joliet rather than Chicago, and how it's helping revitalize the "crossroads of Mid-America." Redefining the Hall of Fame: Learn about the museum's "all music is connected" philosophy—from Mavis Staples to Naked Raygun—and how they are using a community Wiki to honor every band in Illinois history. Preserving the Future: It's not just a collection of gear. Get a sneak peek at the museum's lower-level recording studios and classrooms designed to train the next generation of roadies, engineers, and rock stars. The Gear: Hear the stories behind artifacts from REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Styx, and the legendary Chicago Blues scene. Don't miss: James will be spinning a 100% Illinois-minted set at Gallery Cabaret in Bucktown on Wednesday, April 22, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ### Car Con Carne is sponsored by Exploding House Printing.

After years of hearing his co-hosts rave about Styx, Joe Boclair finally made it to see them live at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin—the one built right into the Circuit of the Americas Formula One racetrack. He even bought a Mr. Roboto shirt as a playful nod to Paul Zotter, Ken Gregory, and Tom Corkran. (His wife Sarah came along too, naturally.) The triple bill featured Don Felder running through Eagles classics like "Hotel California" and "Life in the Fast Lane," followed by the Kevin Cronin Band—yes, that's REO Speedwagon minus the REO Speedwagon name, possibly due to some contractual drama. Despite being in his seventies, Cronin's vocals were impressively strong. The crowd was unusually diverse for a prog rock show, featuring some unforgettable characters including one older gentleman sporting punk-rock style with blue-pink spiky hair and Batman tattoos. Then Styx took the stage. **Larry Gowan's theatrical keyboard theatrics** in his sparkly purple coat were mesmerizing, while Tommy Shaw remained refreshingly laid-back, content to let others shine while delivering impressive vocals. J.Y. held down center stage with his sharp metallic green Stratocaster. Tommy's performance on "Man in the Wilderness" exceeded all expectations—until lightning struck nearby and forced an evacuation during "Castle Walls."

Morning vibes with unreal weather and Riz taking his dogs on a three-mile walk instead of hitting the gym — because let's be honest, the dogs won that negotiation immediately. There's talk about vitamin D, REO Speedwagon being the soundtrack of the stroll, and the slow realization that spring might actually be here (but nobody fully trusts it).Conversation shifts into seasonal habits — rotating clothes, dry cleaning coats (or not), and the eternal hope that winter is finally done.This episode kicks off with spring finally showing up in St. Louis, but quickly spirals into chaos as Rafe turns getting a retaining wall into a full-blown dating show—interviewing 15 contractors before falling for a guy named Tom who actually explained what he was doing (romance isn't dead, it just builds landscaping). The crew also dives into March Madness, where picking teams based on vibes might be smarter than actual knowledge, and the city cracking down hard on street takeovers with curfews, fines, and spike strips like it's GTA: STL.From there, things get even weirder with a 90s movie bracket that sparks emotional debates, a possible Banksy identity reveal that might ruin the mystery, and an uplifting update on Punch the Monkey, who somehow has a better love life than most listeners. Add in Gen Z declaring capital letters “too aggressive,” a wild round of Fake News or Florida (spoiler: it's always Florida), and some celeb news about Mick Jagger slowing down, and you've got a perfectly chaotic snapshot of a world that makes less sense by the day—but is way funnier because of it.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Violent weekend: Multiple shootings, street takeovers in St. LouisRapper Afroman wins lawsuit against Ohio police over mocking their raid of his home in viral music videosScientists have created a liquid robot that moves like the T-1000 from Terminator 2, and this time it is realThe Most Popular Dog Breeds of 2025: French Bulldog Holds Top SpotWho is Banksy?

These bands all provide fist pumpingly perfect sounds of AOR / Arena Rock gold from the late 70s to now. Their music pairs perfectly with action and teen coming-of-age movies and was a big part of our youth! We hope we turn you on to something new!

MONSTER PARTY MAKES A PARDO PROGNOSIS! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD make a virtual housecall to check on the status of a past guest's geek standing. It's an episode that begs the question… ARE YOU A BIGGER NERD NOW?!!! Approximately ten years ago, the hosts of MONSTER PARTY made a very special visit to a friend and fellow podcaster's recording studio. The main reason was that this podcaster, who had been a guest on our show, was severely allergic to the cats that roamed the carpets of our own studio. But since this was still in the relatively early days of MONSTER PARTY, this situation also provided us a glimpse at the setup of an A-LIST podcast. The topic of the episode we recorded was, "WHY AREN'T YOU A BIGGER NERD?" and the guest was the seismically hilarious comedian and host of the groundbreaking/award-winning podcast NEVER NOT FUNNY, JIMMY PARDO! It was a fantastic experience—Mr. Pardo was nothing short of delightful—and we feel we made significant headway in his journey toward healthy nerdism. But after the episode was posted, we lost track of Jimmy's progress. That is, until now! In this singular life-affirming event, Jimmy Pardo returns to catch us up on how much his world of genre entertainment has opened up since he last appeared on our show. And what he has to say might surprise you. We really don't want to give away any spoilers, but if you struggle with middle-aged action figure impulse buys, prefer practical apes to CGI ones, and enjoy the happening sounds of Chicago, Journey, and REO Speedwagon, this episode is the audio intervention you've been clamoring for. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT JIMMY PARDO IS A BIGGER NERD NOW? WE'D GUESS IT'S 25 OR 6 TO 4.
Paul Rees was a young lad living in Scotland during the heyday of Album Oriented Rock (AOR).

It's an oral history of the golden era of critically derided, yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and others ruled the airwaves.

Formed in Toronto in 1975, Triumph quickly emerged as one of rock's most powerful and influential trios. Rik Emmett, Mike Levine, and Gil Moore blended virtuoso musicianship, soaring melodies, and uplifting anthems (including "Lay It On the Line," "Fight the Good Fight," and "Hold On") to define arena rock in the late 70's and '80s. With 16 albums, 25 Gold and Platinum awards, and legendary live shows, Triumph became global superstars, highlighted by co-headlining the US Festival before nearly 500,000 fans. Honored with numerous Hall of Fame inductions and lifetime awards, Triumph's 50-year legacy remains a towering force in rock history. The five-day charity event is a national partner of Make-a-Wish, and has raised more than $7 million since its inception. The centerpiece of the event is the exotic car concours, set in the Disney-developed town of Celebration, Florida. The show features over 300 rare exotic cars, including Pagani, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Lotus and more, in addition to race cars and iconic Hollywood movie cars. The event is heavily supported by the Hollywood and sports communities. Chris “Shooter McGavin” McDonald, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Ernie Hudson, John Stamos, Patrick Warburton, Jay Leno, Jim Kelly, Johnny Bench, Johnny Damon, Daniel Baldwin, Paul Teutul Sr., Corey Feldman, Joey Fatone, Arsenio Hall and many others have attended.

Paul Rees fell in love with AOR when it began with Boston in 1976, the polished, ramped-up hits that were briefly the music of the American heartland. His book ‘Raised On Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola – the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986' remembers the age when records were launched via car stereos, their eternally appealing sound and the preposterous lives of the people who wrote and played them – Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Asia, REO Speedwagon, Don Henley and Toto among them. “It's happy music,” he points out. “Music that makes you raise a quizzical eyebrow.” In the mix … … the original AOR sound: “Led Zeppelin hard rock with Eagles harmonies and a stratospheric high-tenor voca|” … the absolute power of producers like Mutt Lange (a man raised on radio jingles) … Pat Benatar, the former married bank clerk who wanted to be Robert Plant in a leotard … “AOR stars were all salesmen who talked in quotes” ... the many reasons Don Henley fired people on a whim … Def Leppard's vision of America built on AOR and cowboy movies … “Chicago and the Tubes never played on their records” … “he ended up butterball-naked in a cocaine threesome sting with two disguised police women” … the producer who had his trout pond realigned as he couldn't work looking at a garden that wasn't symmetrical … the story of Toto's Africa: “tape loops strung round chair-backs and a quick flick through a geography book” … “if this record's a hit I'll run naked down Sunset Boulevard”.

His book ‘Raised On Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola – the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986' remembers the age when records were launched via car stereos, their eternally appealing sound and the preposterous lives of the people who wrote and played them – Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Asia, REO Speedwagon, Don Henley and Toto among them. “It's happy music,” he points out. “Music that makes you raise a quizzical eyebrow.” In the mix … … the original AOR sound: “Led Zeppelin hard rock with Eagles harmonies and a stratospheric high-tenor voca|” … the absolute power of producers like Mutt Lange (a man raised on radio jingles) … Pat Benatar, the former married bank clerk who wanted to be Robert Plant in a leotard … “AOR stars were all salesmen who talked in quotes” ... the many reasons Don Henley fired people on a whim … Def Leppard's vision of America built on AOR and cowboy movies … “Chicago and the Tubes never played on their records” … “he ended up butterball-naked in a cocaine threesome sting with two disguised police women” … the producer who had his trout pond realigned as he couldn't work looking at a garden that wasn't symmetrical … the story of Toto's Africa: “tape loops strung round chair-backs and a quick flick through a geography book” … “if this record's a hit I'll run naked down Sunset Boulevard”.

Paul Rees' Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986 (De Capo, 2026) is a massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of critically derided yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees' Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of the (at the time) critically derided and yet massively popular AOR (album-oriented rock) bands whose heyday was 1976-1986, when groups like Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, and REO Speedwagon sold many millions of albums, toured stadiums, and whose songs continue to stream in record numbers. Many of them still tour. And sure, they were punching bags for the elitist rock critics more interested in covering punk and new wave, terminally uncool, and never fashionably cutting edge, but their music was, and is, the soundtrack to so many people's lives. Who among music fans (of a certain age) didn't pump their fist to "Don't Stop Believin'" (long before The Sopranos), play air guitar to "More Than a Feeling," bellow along with Toto's "Africa," or have their heart broken to the strains of "Can't Fight This Feeling"? Even better: their tour stories and the tales of making the music are as entertaining and eye-opening as any of the antics from the annals of rock and roll history. Cocaine use was rampant, intra-band fighting was par for the course, and for better or worse, the groups' members lived life to excess. In so many ways, it was these artists' music (they are responsible for the power ballad) and lifestyles that led directly to the soon-to-follow hair metal scene. And in spite of what the critical establishment wrote, it turns out the music has aged . . . rather well! Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin' But A Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and a place that was as big and booming and as unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.

In 1981, the music world was still riding the wave of disco's afterglow while carving out the sounds that would define the decade. Rock was dominant on the charts, with bands like Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Foreigner packing arenas, while new wave acts such as The Go-Go's and Duran Duran were beginning to reshape pop with synthesizers and bright, punchy hooks. MTV hadn't launched yet—that would come in August of '81—so radio play and word of mouth still ruled how fans discovered music. It was a year where the classic rock giants coexisted with the fresh sounds of new wave, setting the stage for an explosion of styles in the 80s. Fast-forward to 1991, and the landscape looked completely different. Grunge had crashed onto the scene with Nirvana's Nevermind, turning the polished glam metal of the late 80s into yesterday's news almost overnight. Hip-hop was no longer underground—it was chart-topping, with acts like Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest pushing boundaries while mainstream rap stars like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice were everywhere. Meanwhile, pop was thriving with Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Boyz II Men dominating radio. Unlike 1981, when MTV was just getting started, by 1991 music videos were the cultural centerpiece, shaping not just what people heard but what they wore and how they acted. This week, Dave and Rob will be looking at both years side by side, comparing the sounds, the trends, and the artists who defined each moment in music history.

This week on "I've Been Meaning To Watch That", we review Lin-Manuel Miranda's "In The Heights" with special guest Esteban Gast!
Yesterday, 1.3 million fans tuned in to the Kelce Brothers podcast, "New Heights", LIVE, to watch Taylor Swift. AND IT BROKE THE INTERNET. The first trailer for a two-part Charlie Sheen documentary is out. Here's part of it. Did you know Willie Nelson is a 5th-degree black belt in a Korean martial art called GongKwon Yusul? He is also a 2nd-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Luke Combs has a hilarious story about how he found that out a few years ago. – HERE HE ISKevin Hart is teaming up with Netflix for a new competition series to find the next big stand-up comedian. He'll be joined by a group of comics, who will be announced at a later date. Academy Award–winner Denzel Washington, now 70, is back in theaters with Highest 2 Lowest. During a recent Extra interview, he was asked what advice he'd give to his younger self—and without skipping a beat, he said: “Pray more. That's it. Pray more. Get on your knees more.” people.com+13people.com+13movieguide.org+13Highest 2 Lowest opens in theaters August 15, followed by a premiere on Apple TV+ September 5.People joke about men dating women HALF their age, but with Leonardo DiCaprio you could say that almost-literally. He's 50 now . . . and his current girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti is 27. Dancing With The Stars judge Derek Hough has been named the new host of the long-running entertainment news program Extra. He will replace Billy Bush, who announced his departure from the show earlier this year after a five-year run. Hough will join Extra for its 32nd season, which premieres on September 8th.Kevin Cronin Makes 'Heartbreaking' Decision on Touring FutureFormer REO Speedwagon vocalist Kevin Cronin has decided that his solo band will no longer tour after their scheduled 2025 dates.Cronin decided to tour as The Kevin Cronin Band after falling out with REO bassist Bruce Hall, a decision that seems to have hurt him business-wise.Cronin explained, "This [current] tour has been a delight, but not without its challenges. It's not easy going out as the Kevin Cronin Band, I will tell you. You can't overestimate the power of the name REO Speedwagon and that ubiquitous, winged logo. They mean a lot to people. I can sit here and say that the Kevin Cronin band is doing the same thing until I'm blue in the face, but when people see the Kevin Cronin Band, there's a question -- 'I wonder what this is gonna be?' -- whereas if you see REO Speedwagon and the winged logo on the bill, it's 'I know what that is.'"Even though he's called his decision to no longer tour "heartbreaking", Cronin will appear at select shows, like the Rock Legends Cruise in 2026. If you were rich and famous, what would you collect? Maybe you'd track down a series of dream cars, maybe you'd go for unique artwork, or maybe you'd just totally pimp out your existing keychain collection.
