This week, I’m continuing my Signature Songs series with Pat Benatar, one of the defining rock voices of the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Benatar and Neil Giraldo built a catalog full of big guitars, big hooks, and unmistakable vocals, with songs like “Heartbreaker,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Fire and Ice,” “Shadows of the Night,” “Love Is a Battlefield,” “We Belong,” “Invincible,” and “All Fired Up.”

But which one is her signature song? In this episode, I break down Benatar’s career, her biggest hits, my own personal Top 5, and the four songs I think have the strongest case before making my final pick for Pat Benatar’s signature song.

It's all happening this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast.

This week, I’m continuing my Signature Songs series with the Grateful Dead!

The Dead had an incredible career without any real commercial album or single sales. They were never really a traditional hit-single band. They were a live band, a touring band, a tape-trading band, and a band whose fans were heavily invested in their music. But their signature song isn’t necessarily their best song, or even their fans' favorite song — it’s the song most associated with them by the general population of music fans.

And yet, without chart hits, they still produced some of the most influential music of the rock-n-roll era, and so I’m looking at the major contenders, and I’ll make the case for the one song that became the Grateful Dead's true calling card. It's all this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!

And then I want to hear from you - did I get it right? Let me know what you think, and check out this week’s Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast Playlist, featuring all the songs mentioned on the show:

This week, I’m continuing my Signature Songs series with Earth, Wind & Fire!

Earth, Wind & Fire had an incredible hitmaking run from 1974 through 1983, including 16 Top 40 hits, 7 Top 10 singles, and one No. 1 song. But their signature song isn’t necessarily their best song, or even their biggest hit — it’s the song most tied to their public image.

So I’m looking at the major contenders, and I’ll make the case for the one song that became Earth, Wind & Fire's true calling card. It's all this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!
