It's Saturday. Today's list is 1990s country music. For me, country music died after about 1999-2000. It's DOA now during the bro-country era of the late 2000s and 2010s to present time. Sorry. Not sorry. Spotify list is here. 10 songs, 33 minutes.

It's the second Friday of the Official 2020 Virus Pandemic Quarantine. And today's Pandemic Playlist consists of 10 positive, uplifting rock songs. I routinely listen to each of these songs - they make me feel happy and inspired. I talked about my love of positive rock music in episode 40 of Nobody Asked You, Kevin! and even mentioned a few of these songs. We need more of this positivity. Spotify playlist is here. 10 songs, 37 minutes.
Korn, the American nu metal band who formed in 1993, is today's subject on Pandemic Playlist. Since forming, they have released 13 studio albums.

Ok. We are starting the second week of quarantine/social distancing here and it's Monday - the most dreaded day of the week. So, why not construct a #PandemicPlaylist for one of the most (and undeserved, IMO) maligned bands of the last 20 years? Nickelback. Sure, many of their lyrics are a bit cringy, but they are a good rock band. They've sure sold a metric shit-ton of records. Anyways, the Spotify list can be found here. 10 songs, 38 minutes.
Kenny Rogers passed away on March 20th, 2020 at the age of 81. He was a country music legend (and also known for his line of fried chicken, Kenny Rogers' Roasters) who released 39 studio albums over a 44 year solo career. So I thought, well, why not put together a #PandemicPlaylist for Kenny? Well, here you go. Spotify playlist is here.
