Playlist - 7 January 2023

Tonight, Seasons Of Change turns the clock back 40 years to 1983, which is also the year when PBA-FM, aka 5PBA, started broadcasting from Salisbury to the wider Adelaide area. Keep an eye on the PBA-FM Facebook page for more updates on the 40th anniversary celebrations as they come to hand.

As 1983 was a transition year for the world of progressive rock, with many established bands either disbanded or sitting the year out, it's an eclectic selection but still features good music from established bands (Yes, Genesis) and new talent (Marillion, IQ). The music tonight is bookend-ed for the months of January and December by albums from the Anglo-Australian classical-rock instrumental group Sky, featuring two expat Aussie guitarists - John Williams and Kevin Peek.
