Each week Johnnie will feature a big rock name picking their very own 'Rock God'. We want to know who is the rock star's rock star, who really stands out to those who stand on stage? This week, we will hear the choice of flamboyant front man Justin Hawkins, singer with The Darkness. It's no surprise, he's chosen someone rather well known for their own larger-than-life stage presence too...
Plus, join Johnnie for his ultimate A-Z of Rock; an indispensable, bitesize guide to the genre in a handy alphabetical order. Every rock fan knows there are multiple choices for each letter, but who or what will Johnnie decide to highlight? We'll also delve into the great Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive to bring you some rare audio of our featured choice.
This week its 'E'. 'E' is for...Eagles? Keith Emerson? Or how about Electric Lady Studios in New York? Listen and find out who or what Johnnie will choose.
If that wasn't enough - rock is full of long songs. After all, rock was the genre that brought us one song for the whole of one side of vinyl. Johnnie will bring you a 'long song' each week, from the incredible choice of rock bands and artists who pushed the boundaries and created some of rock's most epic songs!
