That year PLR presented Blue Oyster Cult at New Haven Coliseum. Joining them on this killer triple bill was Foghat and Whitford / St. Holmes featuring Brad Whitford and Derek St. Holmes, of Aerosmith and Ted Nugent respectively.

In 1981 Blue Oyster Cult went on tour in support of its eighth studio album “Fire of Unknown Origin,” which included the Top 40 hit “Burnin’ For You.” Blue Oyster Cult loved coming to New Haven. In a four year span from 1978-1981, BOC played the New Haven Coliseum an amazing 5 times!

50 Years, 50 Albums 2008: Kings of Leon ‘Only by the Night’

A family band out of Nashville, Brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill with cousin Matthew Followill formed Kings of Leon in 1999. To describe the band’s music is a combination of southern rock, garage rock with a heavy dose of alternative sound, basically making this a kick ass band. Their fourth album Only by the Night was a commercial breakthrough for the band going platinum in the United States and super huge in Australia (go figure) where the album was certified platinum 9 Times! At the 52nd Grammy Awards “Use Somebody” won Record of the Year and Best Rock Song by a group or duo. At this time, we would like to induct Kings of Leon’s Only by the Night into the WPLR Hall of Fame. Thanks for your votes.
