John Mellencamp · 1982 Spin it Again - He changed his name back and made an album that still sounds like a midwestern summer night. Heartland rock with its sleeves rolled up and no apologies.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers · 1979 Spin it Again - The album that made Petty a star, made Iovine a legend, and proved that a record company can't own a song if the singer refuses to hand it over.

Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band · 1976 Spin it Again - This proves that all the heartland rock you love started here, in a Toronto studio with a singer who finally stopped shouting and started saying what he meant.

Bruce Springsteen · 1975 Spin it Again - An album so desperate to succeed it almost didn't, until a sax solo saved it.
