We're looking forward to Rock the Garden 2022, which is set to take place on Saturday, June 11. But importantly, before then — we're really excited to announce the lineup, which we'll do tomorrow (Tuesday, March 1), at 9 a.m. Central, when Walker Art Center's Philip Bither will join us for the big announcement.

As we look ahead to this year's Rock the Garden lineup announcement, let's prepare mentally by thinking back on past Rock the Garden performers (you can see a full list at this handy Wikipedia page). So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear by artists who have performed at Rock the Garden?
