Timewasting: MLS Back Catalogue – Rock ‘n’ Roll

Football and music have always gone hand in hand with AFTN. As we keep telling you, we even used to produce a free local music scene pull-out back in our fanzine days.

Keeping this bond, every few weeks we bring you “MLS Back Catalogue”, where AFTN revisits artists’ discographies, writers’ bibliographies and different genres, re-imagined with the current and recent players of Major League Soccer. And all done in a full ‘Top of the Pops’ style top ten countdown.

Today was a sad day in music. On this day in 1959 Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper died in a plane crash in Iowa. It was the day the music died.

With this in mind our MLS Back Catalogue today comes from the era of Rock ‘n’ Roll….
