My vote for '73- Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies. Maybe not the best technically... but my personal favorite, and the one that really gelled the sound.
Classic Rock Album of the Day- Rush- Grace Under Pressure- (1984) *****
I am going to truly enjoy today's review, because Rush's 9th Studio LP Grace Under Pressure may be as near as the most "filler-less" album that the band ever made. There are three or four I like better in their intent and...
Classic Rock Album of the Day- Alice Cooper- Welcome to My Nightmare (1975) *** 1/2
The phenomenon known as Alice Cooper took the rock work like a storm 1971-1973, taking an obscure Detroit band to the stratosphere, with one part showmanship, one part a unique schtick, and one last part some...
Classic Rock Album of the Day- Yes- 90125 (1983) *****
There was a few moments in the early 1980's that there were a great many of us who felt that AOR was dead. Punk and new wave had infiltrated the rock air waves in massive amounts, and a lot of the old classics were seeming to fade into...
Interesting Factoid:

The Spinal Tap meme is that drummers fall like flies. Paice is the only member of DP to appear on every studio album

Classic Rock Album of the Day- Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band- Night Moves (1976) *** 1/2
Bob Seger and his band of upper Midwest journeymen had already had a very decent second tier of level success from the late 1960's to 1976, But that success was limited geographically to that area...
Classic Rock Album of the Day- Rush- The Cherubs of Labyrinth (2026) *** 1/2
In an incredibly strange and exciting chain of events, the legendary band Rush has almost stealthily released their 20th Studio Album, The Cherubs of Labyrinth. This even shocked industry insiders, who thought the...
A couple of decades ago, one of my kids tried to get me listen through a Beastie Boys album...
I asked...
Discernable pleasureable hook? Nope
Time / Key changes to manage basic musical procession? Nope
Variation in meter and cadence? Nope
Vocal variations to counter melodic patterns- Nope...
No brainer for me.... (C)Rap.
Zero redeeming quality in this shit. I've done reviews here from Abba to NIN, Willie to Blink 182.
I refuse to listen to a Hip Hop album. A blight.
