With Jon Anderson's recent birthday on their minds, Dan and Steven turn to a bit of a niche topic: songs featuring Jon that were on 1980s movie soundtracks! Between the two hosts, you'll hear their takes on how well the songs are on their own and in the context of the films of which they are a part. Have you seen either of these films or listened to the soundtracks? The selections include: "Cage of Freedom" from Metropolis "Silver Train" from Scream for Help "Christie" from Scream for Help "This Time It Was Really Right" from St. Elmo'sFire "Loved by the Sun" from Legend "Do You Want to Be A Hero" from Biggles "Chocks Away" from Biggles And don't worry. We'll also acknowledge Keys to Ascension for its 30th anniversary.
