    Review Iron Butterfly- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968) * 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Iron Butterfly- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968) * 1/2 Earlier in the year, I mentioned that the Doug Ingle, the last member of Iron butterfly passed away. Ingle was that one member was 98% of the talent center of the band. I want to be totally respectful to the band...

    Review Alice Cooper- Killer (1971) *** 1/2

    1971? Wow... That was the gritty full blown "In your face" days of the band. And in a pub like setting? Way cool!!! Didn't see him until '76 on the Welcome to My Nightmare tour. By then , the product, and production had gone mainstream, and though a good concert, would much had rather had...

    Review Alice Cooper- Killer (1971) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Alice Cooper- Killer- (1971) *** 1/2 Sometimes the randomness of You Tube peaks my re-interest into some of the music of my youth. This gem popped up a few days ago, and I will have to admit that this was first deep listen I had of the LP for decades. I think it...

    Review Black Sabbath- Master of Reality (1971) ****

    As with any opinion and review, all is subjective. There was widespread disagreement around my last Yes review. That's what is so great about music. That subjectivity is unique to each of us. Hell, there are people who actually think Rap is music. I respect that, but sure don't agree.

    Review Black Sabbath- Master of Reality (1971) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Black Sabbath- Master or Reality (1971) **** As a youngster, this band was my favorite. The band who pretty much invented the heavy metal genre, started their career with two albums.. Self Titled, and Paranoid that more than anything established not really what...

    Review Emerson Lake and Palmer- Brain Salad Surgery (1973) **** 1/2

    Classic Album of the Day- Emerson Lake and Palmer- Brain Salad Surgery (1973) **** 1/2 Today's selection is one of the great prog albums of all time. Granted ELP's formula of not being centered around guitar is often not in people's tastes and roundhouses. I very much stand by...

    Review Boston - Self Titled (1976) *****

    Classic Album of the Day- Boston - Self Titled (1976) ***** This is an interesting pick in the context, I have rightfully bestowed the highest ranking (5*) for this classic. But it is not a perfect album in that respect. The better half of this LP, is the close to the GOAT, in the...

    Review Nine Inch Nails- Broken (1992) ****

    I can remember at the first inception of the new generation of "Classic Rock" Stations/Formats, vs. traditional rock airplay, gave it an arbitrary "25 years" timeframe. Of course, that was about 10-15 years ago. I guess this criteria may have changed, but I do think I heard bands like...

    Review Nine Inch Nails- Broken (1992) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Nine Inch Nails- Broken (1992) **** Technically this is an EP, but since it totals 30 minutes, it is as long as many other "LP"'s, so I think it is worth the merit and attention to cover it under its own merit. This album, plus "Pretty Hate Machine, and...
