Welcome to the brand new music podcast, where we make the All-Star “Best Of” for all your favourite artists. Every other week, we’ll take a singer or band and make a “best of”, but with a very big catch. Every studio album MUST be represented, and you can only pick one song per album. Think of it like the NHL All-Star game, and how every team has to have one player at the event. We’re going to cover artists from all genres, and leave no album behind. Be sure to drop us a line if there is an artist you would like us to cover.
