Requests!

We love to hear requests from our listeners: sometimes you'll introduce us to bands we've never heard of!

If there's anything you'd like to hear on the show, email us throughout the week at stonehenge@wrek.org

It doesn't have to be super-obscure: you're not meant to be trying to impress us, we just want to play the classic rock people really want to hear!

Here's a classic bit of rock to get you going: The Pretty Things, with 'LSD' from the CLASSIC 'Get the Picture'.

And our featured track from this weeks set: Hardstuff's 'Monster In Paradise', from the LP 'Bulletproof', released in 1972

Hard Stuff was the band formed by Paul Hammond and John Du Cann from Atomic Rooster, and one of the hardest working bassist in rock, John Gustafson (Quatermass, Roxy Music, The Merseybeats, The Big Three, Episode Six). 'The Rooster' were one of the hardest rocking bands of the early 70's, and Gustavson (who had played in Episode Six with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, pre-Deep Purple) was no stranger to hard rock, so it'll come as no surprise that both the albums released by Hard Stuff live up to their name!

Let's (classic and rare) Rock!




Welcome to the beginnings of the Stonehenge Radio Show blog.

For 20 years now, the Stonehenge show on Atlanta's WREK 91.1fm has brought the very finest and original classic rock to devoted listeners and lovers of the music that you don't hear on commercial 'rock' radio.

With the advent of the information age, the show has been available both live and archived for 24 hour listening at http://www.wrek.org/ for a number of years, making it possible for an international audience to build. With listeners on both sides of the atlantic, Stonehenge remains committed to diversity, quality, education, mellotron, vinyl and giving the people what they want!

Show times remain 8pm - 12pm Friday, the first hour or so being occupied with the Classic Rock Album of the Week being played in it's entirety.

All requests to stonehengerequests@yahoo.com or message us here.

This Blog will enable the Stonehenge team to list our weekly playlists, and address other interesting Stonehenge-related stories, so visit often!

Stonehenge: Classic Rock with no commercials, no filler and no limits...
PS: this is a 1973 picture of Hawkwind jamming in Windsor Great Park, UK. Looks like an awesome show!
