Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: Groups With One-Word Names

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.

Today's exercise in imaginary playlists slaps together a three-hour program of tracks performed by groups with one-word names. No shortage of choices there! We're sticking with groups rather than single-word solo stars--apologies to Prince, Cher, BeyoncĂ©, Madonna, et al.--and just rockin' with collective units that gather under a one-word billing. 

(There was never, ever any temptation to include Journey.)

So: Let's GO! And we'll circle back for a near-future program of groups with two-word names. 

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, streaming at SPARK stream, archived at Westcott Radio. You can read about our history here. TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.
