Some great selections, some interesting picks. You have definitely turned me on to a couple of releases to check out. Curiously, neither of you chose Clockwork Angels by Rush. Maybe it was released too late in the year or maybe you guys are not fans of the Power Trio from Toronto. I enjoyed Bumblefoot’s acoustic rendition of The Spirit of the Radio. Anyway, I enjoy your show. Keep it up !
