It turned out to be The Rolling Stones. Hear that incredible story! We also chat with fellow music geek Jay Michaels about the greatest music documentaries of all time!

We hit the motherlode!  We found some classic Bob Dylan interview clips deep inside the vaults (unlabelled & undated).  These clips are as elusive and confounding as Dylan himself – but amazing nonetheless!   And for something COMPLETELY different – we also feature great chatss with Howard Jones (looking back on his biggest hits) and Devo – who successfully fought against fame. And we talk to one of music’s original journalists – as Jeanne Beker talks about the two minutes that changed her life.

We've got two different interviews with The Police which paint a complete picture of the band. We'll discuss what made they different, what made them successful and what ultimately tore them apart. A pretty feisty interview with Chrissie Hynde from 1979, in which Chrissie defiantly talks about making pop music, but dodges a question about why she ended up in the back of a cop car. Finally we have a rare but fascinating 1985 interview with the great Kate Bush as she talks about her biggest album.
