    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    "This is the final Rock School show. We felt 1000 shows was a good number to end on since Tammy and I are retiring at the end of this year. Thank you to all who ran the show. You gave us an audience. For this final hour, we are looking at the top 10 moments from the almost 20 years of shows. Thanks again and goodbye. We sure did enjoy your company."

    Rock School - 08/09/26 (My Top 30 - 2nd to Last Show) (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    "Every list of the best bands contains the same bands in the top 20 so I made a new list. I looked at several best band lists and eliminated those top 20 bands. My list gets rid of the obvious choices and gives many lesser known bands a chance. See what you think."

    "Tammy and I have decided to retire from our jobs and also from creating the Rock School Radio show. I know this is the 744th show on PRX but it's actually our 997th show overall. We will do this show and three more, ending on our 1000th show. To that end, in this show we will announce some musicians who might be retiring soon themselves. We will list the oldest people touring this summer."

    "For an experiment, I denoted the last ten generations and attempted to define the song of their generation. Some were easy and some quite difficult. I offer five possibilities first and then pick. See if I made the correct choice."
