    Favorite 1985 Albums

    '85 seems kind of like an off year. Of those, for me a toss up between Brothers in Arms and Listen Like Thieves

    Review The Moody Blues- Days of Future Past (1967) **** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Moody Blues- Days of Future Passed - (1967) **** 1/2 There have been great discussions about the early days of Prog, and including trying to dissect when and where it was born. About a half dozen examples could be thrown out there. This is my actual pick...

    Review Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble- Texas Flood (1983) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Stevie Ray Vaughn- Texas Flood- (1983) *** 1/2 I discovered SRV at an Austin bar on 6th street back in what was I guess either 1980 or 1981. I think it was like $3 cover, but man was the place packed. What I saw was a wizard who IMO was doing nothing more than...

    Review ZZ Top- Eliminator (1983) **** 1/2

    Valid points. But as a Texan, there is kind of a home team charm that is unique to us. And there might be some infused bias in that.

    Review The Smithereens- 11 (1989) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Smitereens- 11 (1989) *** I really haven't been too kind to the Alternate, Grunge era of rock so far, but that does not mean there weren't some gems that I enjoyed. Like this one from 1989. In my musical tastes, by about 1990, it was getting tougher and...
