Monday Edition - November 18, 2025

Good morning Member

Excited to talk with you again, GrayViners! I had a little adventure over the weekend—finally cleaned out my closet, and guess what I found? A dusty old box filled with my childhood CDs… and yes, I may have spent the rest of the afternoon listening to them instead of actually finishing the cleaning. 😅

That brings us to today’s question: What band or artist from yesteryear do you think would still do well today? Maybe it’s someone whose voice never faded, or a group whose style would fit right in with today’s playlists. Head over to the forum and share your pick—I can’t wait to see which favorites you bring back to life.
