 Who Won The Latest Main Show Edition 191?15-Aug-08
Roll Over Beethoven (by Electric Light Orchestra) ~ What do the The Beatles, the Bible and The Pittsburgh Steelers have in common? Well according to the Pittsburgh Tribune – they’re all classics. But in the artificial & disposable market place we know of today, are we devoid of things like that - with true meaning and lasting significance? What is a classic and what have we lost? ~

 Letter of the Month

The quality of bands and artists on fame games is truly amazing. Having just done my first reviews I'm so impressed with the standards that are being set by these bands /artists.
I will confess to cheating a little bit and copying the tracks on to cd so i can listen to them in the car before reviewing them(dont sue me please) but it has been the first time I have ever listened to such a wide variety of music in one sitting and enjoyed it immensly. From country to power pop, easy listening to rock and everything in between it's opened my eyes and ears to some great stuff. (Ali Robertson)
