Remembering Sandy DennyThirty years ago this week, Sandy Denny, one of the greatest of all British folk singers, died tragically at the age of 31 in an accidental fall. Her haunting alto voice could evoke both the sunny glens and misty moors of that sceptered isle. Not exactly the kind of sound you would associate with, say, Led Zeppelin--but strangely enough, that is how most classic rock fans have heard her, singing with Robert Plant on "The Battle of Evermore."

Women In Rock now with expanded library! Get your dose of grrrrl power...Molly Jameson here. Hope you've had a chance to check out one of our newer channels here on RadioIO, Women In Rock. I've just culled my collection and dug up another 1000 (or thereabouts) songs from great women who have had a lasting influence on rock music. So if you like Pat Benetar, Heart, Annie Lennox, Blondie, Melissa Etheridge - you'll find 'em all here in one place. You'll also hear music from Evanescence, Pink and Avril Lavigne. And Madonna.

Cleveland RocksOkay, I have never been to Cleveland, Ohio, but we need to give a shout out to this town that has a prominent place in rock history, as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Around this time every year, the Hall inducts new members (this year: The Dave Clark Five, Madonna, John Mellencamp, The Ventures and Leonard Cohen--now there's an interesting dinner table.) I won't stir up the debate about whether there should even be a hall of fame for a movement that celebrates iconoclasts and cultural democracy, but we'll just remind you that the term  |
