Classic Rock Album of the Day- Tool- Undertow (1993) *** 1/2
Today's installment is quite a remarkable band that is a leader of their rather narrowed but splintered genre. Describing Tool is variable mix of Alternative, Prog, and Metal. These aren't pikers as their music has a massive amount...
Thanks, I agree this is a fine album, and in some ways captures the overall feel of Grunge better than Nirvana's "Nevermind". Vedder and Cobain are both so larger than life in the persona of their bands that it is hard to extract presence from the product. And from the surface they actually...

Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Guess Who- Share the Land- (1970). ** 1/2
In looking through the band's discography, I had to choose from about 5 late 1960's and early 1970's picks. I was really surprised that my pick today, was after the departure of Randy Bachman. I could have sworn...

Classic Rock Album of the Day- Huey Lewis and the News- Sports (1986) *** 1/2
I know I haven't covered many what I would consider a commercial pop rock LP's through this process. 90% of them generally have one or two catchy hooked laden tunes, and aren't really worth the purchase price...

Classic Rock Album of the Day- Toto- Isolation (1984) ***
Been wanting to review a Toto album for awhile, and the problem was I was torn with what I felt were 3 classics that could have been the choice, each on their own merits. Those choices included their 1978 Self Titled LP. It put Toto...

Classic Album of the Day- Led Zeppelin III- (1970). *****
This album and I have had a strange and up and down POV relationship throughout the years. Way way back when this was released, almost all of us based our album purchases on what we heard from the band on the radio. And when I first...
Classic Rock Album of the Day- Fleetwood Mac- Rumours (1977) ****
I have avoided (delayed) this review for the fact that I heard this thing so much in the late 1970's, and I got almost sick of it. If you lived in this era, and haven't heard at least a few of these songs, I can honestly say...
Point well taken, and just one of an infinity of examples of how music is 100% subjective. Put 8 songs on an album, and there is a near zero percent chance the seriatim of #1 - #8 between any two people will be the same.
And in this case, in my reviews, songs that are overplayed sometimes in...
