Gary Stringer from Reef picks this week's Rock God

Reef vocalist Gary Stringer features this week, telling us all about his 'Rock God' and we arrive at 'D' in the A-Z of Rock...

Johnnie Walker is back for the fourth instalment of the Radio 2 Rock Show. This week, we hear a Rock God chosen by one of the most powerful voices in modern rock, and we'll play the some of greatest rock from across the decades to choice new releases.

Gary Stringer is Reef's big-voiced vocalist and he will pick Johnnie's Rock God this week. Reef first hit the charts in the 1990's with their anthemic, high powered 'Put Your Hands Up'. After touring, writing and recording for several years the band called it a day. Eighteen years later they are back and have just released their new album 'Revelation'. In this week's show, frontman Gary waxes lyrical about his own Scottish-born, Australian-bred Rock God who inspired an entire generation of rock fans with his unique style.

Plus, join Johnnie for his ultimate A-Z of Rock; an indispensable, bitesize guide to the genre in a handy alphabetical order and we'll delve into the archives to bring you a flavour of them too. This week we arrive at 'D'. D for...Def Leppard? Deep Purple? Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson perhaps? What about Donington - the home of the Monsters of Rock (and now the Download festival)? Or it could be 'Drop D' tuning, that doom-laden guitar sound cultivated by Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi? Just who or what will Johnnie pick? Make sure you're listening to find out which D makes it into our ultimate A-Z of Rock...
