What the Riff Next GenAuthor: Rob Marbury, Wayne Rowan, Bruce Fricks, John Lynch
Every episode of WHAT THE RIFF NEXT GEN brings a ROCK AND ROLL album that debuted on the U.S. Billboard charts during a random month between 1995 and 2005. Four Classic Rock fans discuss the artist and 4 tracks from the album as it plays in the background. Then we riff on 3 additional staff picks of other artists that were also on the charts during that month and year. Youll hear Classic Rock bands that were still producing new work, as well as some newer Alternative and Grunge bands that were gaining momentum during this Millennium Y2K Period. We encourage you to find and purchase the tracks and albums from Apple Music, Spotify or your other favorite music service. Please subscribe so you dont miss any release!
