Y&T

Six-Pack of Y&T, Volume One

On this Six-Pack episode, Mr Matt Porter of The KISS Room and Sonny “Hollywood” Pooni of Growin’ Up Rock join Eric Miller of Pods & Sods to assemble a six pack of Y&T gems. We each bring two of our favorite Y&T songs covering their full discography – some hits, some obscure tracks, and some deep cuts. We also share some personal memories of how we got into the band, how their fanbase is super loyal but not as expansive as we’d hope, their heights on MTV and in the 80s, recent performances, and tons more. In fact, at least 16 tons more! So sit back and enjoy a few friends enjoying a tight little playlist of Y&T classics.
