Looking back at the year 2020, there is certainly lots to discuss and reflect upon. A year of challenges is an understatement. A year of political turmoil it certainly was. It was also, a year of amazing music being released around the globe. Grab a cold one, make yourself comfortable and join the Canadian Geeks […]

BEST OF 2020 – Robert De Pasqua (Radio DJ)
This year CGCM decided to include EP (previously they were excluded from Top Ten Albums). Live albums and re-records were still disqualified, new music only for Best of Year. We also instigated a (highly complex🤣 – 1 point for 10th place through to 10 points for 1st place) rating system throughout all individual lists to […]

CGCM EP#125 Unfortunate Band Names
“Why would you ever name your band that?!?” One of the most difficult tasks in any bands history is deciding upon a band name. A carefully chosen band name can effectively describe the music within. Combine that with a well crafted logo and it becomes a complete marketing tool. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth. You pretty much […]
CGCM Podcast Ep#124 – Playlist Battle 1987
Let’s get ready to rumble! A battle has been raging for over three years and it continues tonight. It was the decade of decadence. The golden era of hard rock and heavy metal. A decade where the greatest music went mainstream and ruled the airwaves and charts across the world! In April 2017, the “Battle […]
CGCM Podcast EP#123-Battleship 4 (December 03, 2020)
The boys are back for round 4 of Battleship here at the CGCM Podcast. What is CGCM Battleship you ask? It is just one of the many idiotic ideas that the Canadian Geeks have come up with to randomly play some great music. In the Milton Bradley game (that was debuted in 1967), the objective […]
LA GUNS – Renegades (Album Review/Rant)
Rewind L.A. Guns! I first heard the name sometime in 1987. It was likely in the pages or Circus or Hit Parader. Which honestly comprised the bulk of my teenage reading time. The fact that I had not heard a single note of music was of no consequence. Their look, logo and image had me […]
CGCM Podcast EP#122-W.K.R.P. (November 18, 2020)
“All right, Cincinnati, it is time for this town to get down! You’ve got Johnny… Dr. Johnny Fever, and I am burning up in here! WHOA! We ALL in critical condition babies, but you can tell me where it hurts, ’cause I got the healing prescription here from the big ‘KRP musical medicine cabinet! Now […]

June 1st, 2020 will go down in the annals of music history as the birth of CGCM Radio. The motto “What Rock Radio Should Be!” is the philosophy that bonds the entire CGCM team. A team of misfit geeks determined to create the ultimate hard rock radio station. From the word go, the first wave […]
