    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...

    Review Rush- The Cherubs of Labyrinth (2026) *** 1/2

    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...

    Worst style of music...... EVER.

    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...

    Worst style of music...... EVER.

    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.

    Review The Shaggs- Philosophy of the World (1969) **** 1/2

    :):):) I was wondering if anyone would ever notice the 4-1 gag? I guess 357 days is better than never. And the Catfish moniker? Naw... that goes back to the '70's and my magnificant mustache. Predating the "moderm catfish meme" by decades. OTOH, can you imagine me spending 32 minutes...

    What Are You Listening to Now? Pics/Videos

    Remember this when was on TV, as it happened. Still think it is one of the greatest live percussion feats in rock history. Palmer solo at about 2:55- 7:40

    Pearl Jam - Vitalogy & No Code

    I previously reviewed what I felt was the band's best effort.... "10". My 3 *** rating is a lot based on that I was really all that enamored with the Grunge genre. Again, just my "druthers" than an evaluation of the band's worth. Overall, along with Nirvana, they are (IMO) included best in...

    Recommend Punk Bands in Order of Punk's History Timeline

    I was in college during the blast on the scene arrival of the Ramones and Sex Pistols. Scuttlebutt of the music press at the time was it was either parody or back handed slap respone to Art Rock (future prog) and AOR. We all thought it was a brief fad, like Disco, but obviously that was not...

    Recommend Punk Bands in Order of Punk's History Timeline

    Ouch, I don't even think i could even give this assignment justice. I guess a lot depends on how you define Punk.... MC5 as you mentioned, further later, the NY Dolls, Iggy maybe.... Even some of the Velvet Underground's upbeat stuff could roughly be intrerpreted that way as progenitors...

    Who Are The 'Big 4' Of Prog Rock?

    Doc... I did have S/S phase, and was really into Neil Young's work. In fact, I made it a point to own every album, till I got tired at about Harvest Moon in the early '90's. I saw hm twice in the mid 1980's, once with Int. Harverstether's which was a good gig. Then I saw him in hisRock-a-...

    Who Are The 'Big 4' Of Prog Rock?

    Thanks Doc.... Like everything in music, when doing these reviews, lists, and critiques, it is really tough to parse the objective vs. the subjective. An example? In my early childhood of loving rock music, say age 8-12, I thought the Beatles could do no wrong. But, there was a period of...

    Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2023

    R & R HOF? Alex Lifeson said it best at his induction speech. Blah Blah Blah!!! This instituion is a joke, and should be ignored by all of us.

    Who Are The 'Big 4' Of Prog Rock?

    This might be one of the toughest threads I've responded to, because the premise has to include a murky mix of objectivity and subjectivity. Plus what are the criteria and qualifiers..... If I establish a system of longevity, musicanship, productivity, influence, and intangibles. Here would...
