    Child In Time vs. Achilles Last Stand

    Gotta love both tracks but "Child In Time" was foundational. Pretty much made Ritchie Blackmore, who plays maybe faster than the human ear can hear. His first amazing solo. Same album as "Speed King." Love Ritchie and Jon trading licks in that one. "Achilles" a monster track. Maybe Jimmy's best...

    ~Lost Album by Too Much~

    One of the truly great obscure albums is Cat Mother. The band went through some personnel changes, released a couple records, originally produced by Jimi Hendrix. But their self-titled third LP was really, really good. Link to review: https://classicrockforever.com/review-catmother.html

    I Love This Song: “Moving in Stereo”

    Love The Cars, but my favorite album is Candy-O. "Dangerous Type" my favorite song. Off that LP. One song nobody ever mentions is "A Dream Away" off Shake It Up

    Hey Babyboomers.. How About Some Pop!!

    Uriah Heep (Official Thread)

    Saw these guys a number of times back in the day. The song that always slayed me was "High Priestess."

    Best Album of 1970.

    Also in 1970: Ya-Ya's, Live at Leeds, Band of Gypsies, Idlewild South by the Allmans and Back in The USA from the MC5 and Dave Mason's Alone Together. Any wonder why Classic Rock RULES!

    Excuse me, but 1970 saw the release of Layla by Derek & The Dominos, which is the best album ever recorded with electric guitars. Number on on the list of "Perfect" Classic Rock albums according to Classic Rock Forever (dot com)...

    Top 10 Drummers

    Just saw something on internet about the Top 10 best performances on drums, but it was BS since they did not include Santana's Michael Shrieve doing "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock or Keith Moon's "Magic Bus" off Live at Leeds

    MR. JOE COCKER - THE ONE THE ONLY..

    One of the truly under-rated vocalists in Rock History. Many don't know Jimmy Page did lead on this track.

    Top 10 Drummers

    Ronnie Dio told me Ian Paice of Deep Purple was "a clock." Don't know if you can give a better compliment to a drummer.

    How important are rock critics?

    I WAS a Rock Critic and I can tell you that Critics ARE NOT important. Artists are important. At least, some of them. Critics have a place, but it's not being critical. The people that pass judgement on an artist's work, say it's good or bad, are out of line. When I reviewed albums I tried to...

    How Ritchie Blackmore Met Jon Lord

If the situation works out I will likewise try to send eyes back to CRF, like I promote RBP, feeling like Classic Rock Fans are one big community.
