OK, Met Zone, the two songs earning zero points for their respective decades.
Mike AtkinsonHOST
In this Met Zone, we have Slade for the 1970s with Take Me Back Home, and we have The Calling from the 2000s with Wherever You Will Go.
Mike AtkinsonHOST
Comments for Slade, then.

Malcolm the Break Doctor says...
Ellen KHOST
And for two years, every day I'd get off the radio and go work with Wayne.
Ellen KHOST
And that was one of Wayne's favorite songs, Love Pulled by the Cardigans.
Ellen KHOST
He loved it so much.
Ellen KHOST
But we would do all kinds of zany things.
BrianHOST
This is what I remember.
BrianHOST
There was a song by The Calling called Wherever You Will Go.
BrianHOST
And and it was perfect with the promo that they were

doing.
JohnHOST
Which
MattHOST
song was it even? Wherever You Will Go.
JohnHOST
Yeah, we did that one already.
JohnHOST
We have done that one already, and none of us had paid attention as we read it down.

SarahHOST
Yeah.
SarahHOST
Yeah.
SarahHOST
No, that's, I mean, to me, that's, like, right in this, right in the wheelhouse here.
Alex BandGUEST
And one of the first songs we wrote together was Dust.
Alex BandGUEST
And it had kind of the feeling of Wherever You Will Go.
Alex BandGUEST
It had like a similar vibe to that song.
Alex BandGUEST
And I wasn't trying to recreate Wherever You Will Go.
Alex BandGUEST
was pushed to try to do that many times by labels.
Alex BandGUEST
You know, this was this is no label.

that
Alex BandGUEST
wherever you go has become that you know like for me the the pinnacle of success beyond money in anything is is hearing your music saved my life.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And all the crazy things that you put me through.
BruceHOST
They're best known for the song Wherever You Will Go.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm coming around and crawling back to you.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him?
BruceHOST
Other than those other hundred.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I want you back so badly.
BruceHOST
So it was released as a single in April 2002, about nine months after the album, and about a year after Wherever You Will Go came out as a single.
BruceHOST
So that's a pretty long gap.
Brian PeelHOST
The Calling are back, fronted by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Alex Band.

Alex BandGUEST
It's part of the path, isn't it? Even when it's hard,
Brian PeelHOST
yeah, I think it is.
Brian PeelHOST
Now, I mean, I remember myself, you know, back in the time where we had those CD disc men, I'd sit on public transport commuting into the CBD of Melbourne listening to to wherever you will go and Could It Be Any Harder, Our Lives, some of my most favorite songs and I still love to play those on the radio today if I can say so.
Brian PeelHOST
You've been inspired by so many artists.
