Jumping off to a rockin' start, that was Van Halen featuring their flamboyant

lead zinger Diamond Dave - David Lee Roth - with the band's biggest hit single,

the rock anthem "Jump," a song from their best selling album 1984.

Hi, I'm Daisy Skye Johnson aka "Quake," one of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

You might recall my first appearance on Shady Dell Music & Memories in 2014.

I'm back and proud to announce that, starting next year, I will be joining

the The Shady Bunch DJ squad here on S-P-M-M Ultrasonic Radio.

Today I'm bringing you a preview of my

new show Power Surge. I'll be playing

great rock sounds of the 60s, 70s and

80s. Every show is a 7-in-a-row non-

stop block party. More music with less

talk means more time to rock, so let's

keep our bods moving while the guys

of Foreigner play-- "Head Games!"

"Head Games" - Foreigner

 (Dec. 1979/Jan. 1980, highest chart pos.

#12 Cash Box/#14 Hot 100)

From Christmas 1979 and the early weeks of 1980, that was the British-

American band Foreigner with the title cut from their third studio album

Head Games. The album made the top 5 on the Billboard Top 200

and the single reached the top 15.

SPMM means more rock with less tock,

and here are those rowdy rockers from

the UK to set 'em up and knock 'em

down. Rolling Stone Magazine called
this hit "supernatural Delta blues by
way of Swinging London." From '68,
The Stones-- "Jumpin' Jack Flash!"

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" - The Rolling Stones

(June/July 1968, highest chart pos. #1 Cash Box/#3 Hot 100)

From the summer of '68 those were The Rolling Stones with "Jumpin' Jack Flash,"

a single that topped the Cash Box chart but peaked at #3 on the Billboard survey,

denied the number one position by much softer sounds entrenched at the top -

"Mrs. Robinson" by Simon And Garfunkel" which spent three weeks

at #1, and "This Guy's In Love With You" by Herb Alpert which

held the top spot four weeks in a row.

If you're just tuning in, I'm Daisy Skye, one of Marvel's
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, producing an earquake with my
lineup of rock songs on this preview of my new show
Power Surge on S-P-M-M Radio, the number one

station for a rock 'n' roll nation.

Up next another iconic rocker and another epic single from that same
year - 1968. It's a song originally recorded by folksinging and
songwriting legend Bob Dylan and released on his
1967 album John Wesley Harding.

The song became even more famous the following year when it was covered by

another legend, psychedelic blues rocker

Jimi Hendrix and his band, and released

on their double album Electric Ladyland.

Are you experienced enough for this?

Feel the power surge as The Jimi

Hendrix Experience performs--

"All Along The Watchtower!"

"All Along The Watchtower" - Jimi Hendrix Experience

(Oct. 1968, highest chart pos. #18 Cash Box/#20 Hot 100)

You just listened to a killer kover if ever there was one,
The Jimi Hendrix Experience with their psych-rock
interpretation of Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower."

Here's another relic from that rockin'
year 1968, a song that played on FM
radio and home stereos around the
same time as the Hendrix classic
you just heard. Let the power
surge thru you as Steppenwolf
does-- "Sookie Sookie (Sue)!"

"Sookie Sookie" - Steppenwolf

(Oct. thru Dec. 1968, B side of "Magic Carpet Ride")

That was the LA-based Canadian-American band Steppenwolf with "Sookie Sookie,"

the flip side of their smash hit "Magic Carpet Ride," a single that lasted 16 weeks

on the chart, longer than any of their other records. "Sookie Sookie" was used

in the soundtrack of the chilling movie Bob Fosse's Star 80.

You're feelin' the Power Surge with
Daisy Skye, and its time for some
classic album rock on S-P-M-M's
FM dial. It's the big bold sound of
The James Gang, a Cleveland rock
trio led by Joe Walsh. The James
Gang Rides Again with a track
from that 1970 album-- Woman!"

"Woman" - James Gang

(from July 1970 album James Gang Rides Again)

From the 1970 album James Gang Rides Again, Joe Walsh and his

James Gang band with "Woman." Five years later Walsh joined

The Eagles and he also had a successful career as a solo artist.

That wraps up this special preview. Thanks for being here.

of super heroes in action on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I also invite you to join me in 2021

when I blow you away with another
earquake of classic rock tuneage on
the official debut of my new show
Power Surge. To play us off, here's
Evol Walks, a female-fronted hard
and heavy rock band formed six
years ago on The Gold Coast,
Queensland, Australia, and
now based in L-A.

Leah Martin-Brown and her band drew
inspiration from AC/DC, Joan Jett and
Led Zeppelin. In late 2016 Evol Walks
released this fuel-injected cover of
"Spirit In The Sky," the 1970 hit
by U.S. singer and songwriter
Norman Greenbaum.

I hope by now this Skye's got you in a rockin' spirit. This is Daisy Skye
saying see you next year right here on S-P-M-M Ultrasonic Radio...
where the bold sound of pure unadulterated rock prevails!
