I wish Sammy Hagar would shut up about Van Halen. If they want a reunion, they will ask, if they want Michael Anthony, back, they will get him. Who cares?

Last week’s Rockucation question was: What do the following albums have in common: Queen-Queen, The Cars-The Cars, Journey-Infinity, Cheap Trick-One On One, Motley Crue-Too Fast For Love and Smashing Pumpkins-American Gothic? No one got this one. These albums were all produced by Roy Thomas Baker. You should Google him and see what other records he did. You might even try and listen to some other artists he did that you may or may not know since you already love what he does with these classic albums.
