Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

The '70s records that had the US hits are less compelling; in between the great and well-know songs, there are boring, uncompelling one.

I'd love to do a trip around all the Great Lakes some time--skipping Lake Michigan, since I've seen it enough, and it's kinda boring. And Lake Erie is kinda boring. I grew up on the shores of Lake Ontario, so I know it well, but it's less boring. OK, actually, I want to go around Lake Superior and Lake Huron the most.

I like the album a lot, but I'll admit that I bought it because it's really a Todd Rundgren album.
From the Rolling Stones review:
A better title for this one would have been Next Producer Please, because from the signature harmonies of "I Can't Take It" to the predictable chorus of "Heaven's Falling," it's clear that this album belongs as much to producer Todd Rundgren

So bad I skipped

Was there any mention of the Exploding Budgies song Kenneth Anger?
