Power 96 Cool One

Yesterday I chose British rock group Mungo Jerry’s “In the Summertime” as my Power 96 Cool One. I thought it was appropriate for the day since it was sunny and humid day, like a good summer day should be, and a lot of people would probably hitting the beaches and pools...

Last Friday's Power 96 Cool One came from Cinderella. This glam metal band became huge in the mid-'80s and scored several hits with their 1986 debut release Night Songs. They also had several videos playing on MTV, which really helped thrust them into the spotlight...

I've been a little busy at work lately and fell behind on my Power 96 Cool One Recaps, so here's what I've played the past couple of days. On Wednesday it was Journey's "Too Late" from their fifth studio album, Evolution. Released on April 5, 1979, it was their most successful album at that time and it went to No...

Wow, the Fourth of July weekend went so fast, yet last Friday's Cool One seems so long ago. Luckily I still remember the last two Cools Ones, so here's a quick recap. Friday's featured artist was a band you don't normally hear on Power 96 but Blondie's "One Way or Another" was rolling around in my head all week, so I decide to play it for you...

On Thursday the Power 96 Cool One was Blue Murder’s “Jelly Roll” from their April 1989 self-titled release. This English heavy metal band was founded by ex-Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake guitarist John Sykes and released only two studio albums before their label dropped them...

Sir Paul McCartney was the artist of choice for Wednesday's Power 96 Cool One. Because he is recognized as one of the most successful composers and performers of all time, I decided to feature his single "The World Tonight," which came from his May 1997 release, Flaming Pie...

Tuesday's Power 96 Cool One was British rockers Def Leppard's "Rock Brigade" from their debut release On Through the Night, released in March 1980. The Cool One didn't garner them a spot on the charts here or abroad but three other singles did manage to chart...

To start off the week I chose to feature Mike and the Mechanics' "The Living Years" as the Power 96 Cool One. This single came from their second album, Living Years, which was released on October 28, 1988. It peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, No...

It seems like it was awhile ago but last Friday's Power 96 Cool One was "Pretty Noose"  from seminal grunge rock band Soundgarden, off their fifth studio album, Down on the Upside, released in May 1996. Unfortunately this was their last studio album because they broke up the following year due to inner turmoil between members of the band...

The Power 96 Cool One I chose for Thursday was Aerosmith's "Jaded" from their 13th studio album, Just Push Play. The first time I heard this song was during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXV in January 2001, although the album didn't hit the streets until March 2001...
