I mentioned not that long ago on these pages that we have been fortunate to experience some great limited engagements over the last couple of years. My personal favourite was having Sirius18 The Spectrum become John Mellencamp Radio for a good period of time. We also went through a Metallica Month and an extended period for AC/DC Radio right at the merger period when the various channels were combined. Recently The Who Radio took over Sirius 16 Deep Tracks for the course of Superbowl weekend.

Who would you like to see on Sirius for a limited engagement? If you can think of anyone, I encourage you to post your suggestions here and send them along to Sirius for feedback. I will share some of my ideas here, and welcome your feedback.

Tom Petty – I already mentioned this before but it is worth mentioning again. Tom has a wealth of music to select from as well as great recorded live performances worth hearing a few times over. This could easily be a one week event, maybe two.

Black Sabbath – Heavy Metal’s greatest outfit deserves a one week engagement on The Boneyard. All of the albums, all of the singers. It is still Black Sabbath at the end of the day. It would be a great listening experience for those who assume Ozzy is the only real Sabbath singer.

George Strait – One of the greatest and most honest voices in Country music could easily have a one week engagement on Sirius 62 or 61. George Strait has a massive collection of songs, well chosen and well sung.

Hopefully Sirius will host some more great limited engagements this year, and I am anxious to see what will be coming next.
