Compact Rock Week 316 - Merry Christmas

It was yet another excellent week of Compact Rock, but would you expect ANYTHING less? I didn't think so! As we proceed to give you what you need, let your troubles slide away and listen to some great 90's music. We do what we always do here. We give you exactly what you want. One thing does not change, no matter what, and that is that we are getting better every week. Aging like a fine wine. We will continue to give you what you need. Always giving you the Thursday Night Rock Delight! Merry Christmas, or whatever you celebrate, to all of you out there. As we always do, more great 90's music. It just gets a little older.

If you want to be a part of the show, you can go to The Randomizer section of the site for more information on that. Follow us on social media, and you may become a part of the show! We will ask you to pick five songs and The Randomizer will pick three of those to play for you. As always, we appreciate you listening. We hit 2026 in seven days. That means a few things. More 90's music like we do every week. We also have our back to front album spin coming up in seven days. That drops on Soundcloud at noon on New Years Day. I also have new things that are being planned for 2026. So you are definitely going to want to keep locked in with us here at Compact Rock. Again, THANK YOU for all of the support. Good things are on the horizon, just look to the orb for your guide and we will be there!
