THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO: Updated List Of Our Featured Performers/Personalities

This is the 2100th post on Boppn' (Like The Hip Folks Do).

With recent TIRnRR Featured Performer spotlights on Micky Dolenz, Steve Stoeckel, and Irene Peña, and this coming Sunday night's spotlight on Simone Berk, it seems high time we oughtta update our list of all TIRnRR Featured Performers and Personalities to date.

This is a (presumably) complete list of all groups, singers, musicians, and/or pop wunderkind that have ever been a Featured Performer or Personality on THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO with Dana & Carl. When we have a Featured Performer, that performer is played at least once per set in that week's show, which generally means a minimum of eight or nine tracks in a three-hour show (and often more than that). Our first Featured Performer was The Kinks, who remain the only act to ever take over an entire episode of TIRnRR; in fact, we have now done TWO all-Kinks shows. This list will continue to expand as we program more Featured Performers and Personalities on future shows.
