Blue Oyster Cult have fused science fiction with guitar driven rock for over 30 years, charting such anthems as “Don’t fear the Reaper,” “Godzilla,” and “Burning for You.”  Blue Öyster Cult has sold over 24 million albums worldwide including 7 million in the United States alone.  Blue Öyster Cult's current lineup includes long-time members, Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (lead guitar, vocals) and Eric Bloom (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboard), as well as Jules Radino (drums, percussion), Richie Castellano (keyboard, guitar, vocals), and Rudy Sarzo (bass guitar).

Squeeze is a British pop band who has provided a string of hits including, most notably “Pulling Muscles From a Shell” and “Tempted.”  The English Beat fuses ska with pop and has scored many hits including “Mirror in the Bathroom”.

Paul Anka first became famous as a teen in the late 1950s and 1960s with hit songs like "Diana," "Lonely Boy," and "Put Your Head on My Shoulder." He went on to write such well-known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's biggest hits, "She's a Lady," and the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way" (originally French song "Comme d'habitude").

Steve Miller's career has encompassed two distinct stages: one of the top San Francisco blues-rockers during the late '60s and early '70s, and one of the top-selling pop/rock acts of the mid- to late '70s and early '80s with hits like "The Joker," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Rock'n Me," and "Abracadabra". 

Wilson Phillips first appeared in 1990, flaunting a harmony-rich sound that helped send three singles from their first album, "Hold On," "Release Me," and "You're in Love," to the top of the Billboard charts. Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips comprise the vocal trio, whose sudden success was matched by an equally impressive pedigree. The two Wilson sisters had grown up in California with their father, Beach Boy bandleader BrIan Wilson, and often made appearances on his albums
