What better band to help us celebrate our 20th than Barenaked Ladies! We were one of the first alternative stations in the US (ya, we're bragging for a sec) to play the band. We had them on the CYY patio back in '97, which drew thousands. The next year, the wave continued when they released their hugely successful album "Stunt." With a ton of shows and memories over the years, let's do it again!

Let's not stop there. If you're a fan of the 80's, then there's a good chance your a fan of Colin Hay, even if the name doesn't ring a bell. Colin was the frontman of the Australian band Men At Work known for hits like "Down Under" "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Overkill."

Oh...and there's more to come!
