THE SOPRANOS

The role of music is an important one on the HBO television drama The Sopranos. The show has received considerable critical attention for its effective use of an eclectic array of previously recorded songs. Stylistically, the music on the show can range from mainstream pop (Britney Spears, The Bangles) to ’60s British rock (The Kinks, The Rolling Stones) to classic jazz and soul (Ella Fitzgerald, Ben E. King) to hip-hop (Xzibit, Time Zone), often within the span of a single episode. (A3 signals the start and end of each Sopranos track on the Jersey Channel)

A New Year, More of your favorite Classic Rock

January 1, 2008

That’s that we’ve planned for Sunshine Classic Rock this year.  We’ll continue to add a few new tracks each month, and you’ll still hear fresh playlists constantly updated according to your track ratings.  Like a song?  Give it a thumbs up.  Don’t like a song?  Thumbs down lets us know.  Each week’s playlists are based on your ratings.  Tracks rated high get played more often, and tracks rated low get played less.  Help us keep Sunshine Classic Rock as your place for the music you want to hear!
