Arena rock, pop, K-pop and hard rock come together in today’s episode of The Music Dial, with stories connected to October 6.

We celebrate Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, go back to the very beginning of Madonna’s recording career, spotlight Hanni from NewJeans, and remember the extraordinary guitar legacy of Eddie Van Halen.

One date, several generations, and music stretching from arena rock and dance-pop to K-pop and hard rock.
