Power 96 Cool One

The Power 96 Cool One for your Tuesday was Rockpile’s “Teacher Teacher” from their 1980 and only studio release, Seconds of Pleasure. Of the three singles released from the album, “Teacher Teacher” was the only one that charted here, reaching No...

Last Friday I featured AC/DC's "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation" from their fourth international studio release, Powerage, as the Power 96 Cool One. The single didn't even get on the charts in the U.S., only managed to get to No. 83 on the Kent Music Report in their homeland of Australia, but performed better on the UK charts coming in at No...

On Thursday I featured the band Ironhorse on the Power 96 Cool One. Their release “Sweet Lui-Louise” was the tune I tracked off their self-titled 1979 album and made it to No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album charted at No. 153 on the U...

Wednesday’s Power 96 Cool One came from Enuff Z’Nuff’s debut self-titled album. I featured the third track and second single from album, “Fly High Michelle.” This power ballad was their biggest hit, making it to No. 47 on the U...

The Power 96 Cool One artist I chose for Tuesday, the Atlanta Rhythm Section, is a southern rock band that, while unfortunately never achieved the same success as the Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd, garnered several hits over the mid- to late ’70s and early ’80s...

Pablo Cruise was the featured artist for yesterday’s Power 96 Cool One. They had a string of hits from the mid-’70s through the early ’80s, including yesterday’s track, “Love Will Find A Way,” which came in at No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100...

Last Friday’s Power 96 Cool One comes from a lesser-known artist from the big-hair era. Tora Tora hails from Memphis, Tenn., and got their first shot at some studio time when they won the local Battle of the Bands, a lot like the grandstand event on Wednesday night at the Rice County Fair...

In case I haven't mentioned it before, Rush is my all-time favorite band. So they're going to be coming up quite often as a Power 96 Cool One. Yesterday's choice was no exception as I decided to feature Rush's "Making Memories" from their second studio album, Fly By Night...

With 15 studio albums, three live records and 27 singles under their belt, it easy to find a Power 96 Cool One from British rock band Pink Floyd. I decided to spotlight their single "Keep Talking," from their 14th studio album, The Division Bell...

Tuesday's Power 96 Cool One was the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies' " Shakin' the Blues" from their self-titled album. Released in 1994, their debut effort came in at No. 40 on the U.S. Billboard Heatseekers chart. The single climbed to No. 9 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart while the other charting single, "Ride the Tide," peaked at No...
