1,000 Greatest Misses

Hello there, ladies and gents! 1000 Greatest Misses is the music podcast that shines a light on 1000 undiscovered, obscure, and underappreciated songs that hit all the marks but failed to chart. On each episode music-obsessed Paul Heinz and Christopher Grey will feature five power pop, AOR, heavy metal and new wave songs from the seventies and eighties, most of it curated from radio compilation vinyl records that aren’t available on any streaming service. Let’s play some tunes!

Fan Mail

Amazing show! A huge thanks to Pete Kuehl for introducing me to this show a while back. I've listened to 20-25 shows and I'm slowly working to catch up. Love learning about power pop/rock groups that I largely missed. As a musician that's made a living-ish "missing", I really appreciate learning about other bands that produced great songs that should be better known! I've been sharing with other folks that I know will appreciate your show! Keep up the great work! Chris Russell Drummer - The Argument (WV)
