    Review Boston- Walk On (1994) ****

    I think what Scholz did as far a technical wizardry was a big place holder for the day that established creating an debut album that I think might be still a record sales at 17M. With headphones on, and while in audiophile careful listen mode, there are things and tricks that Scholz does in...

    Review Boston- Walk On (1994) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Boston- Walk On (1994) **** In a past review, I raved of how great, and grounbreaking that Boston's 1st and Self Titled Album was and how much its sound was a blast of majestic pomp and fury. I literally wore out 4 LP's and 6 8-Tracks in the late 1970's. That...

    Review Primus- Pork Soda- (1993) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Primus- Pork Soda (1993) *** 1/2 I am not too proud to admit when I am late to the party. There was a time in the late 1980's and early 1990's, that I considered bands like NIN and Primus as generators of nonsensical random noise. Doing these reviews the past few...

    The BEATLES (Official Thread)

    I saw the movie at the theatre (Yelllow Submarine too) as a 12 year old kid at the time, and I bet I teared up a bit. And at the time, I probably thought this was the end of Rock and Roll as we knew it.

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band- Against the Wind. (1980) **** 1/2 I had friends in the day, who claimed Bob Seger was the one man wrecking crew who countered Disco as a happy warrior. Yes, there were others in that 1975-'80 timeframe that swiped some radio...

    Top 50 Classic Heavy Metal Albums

    Doc Wu's right. List is subjective. I guess most on the list has at least some level of claim of being "early-metal". Def Leopard is the one I would say has the least cred in that category. To me they are much more in the Glam/AOR genre . Don't get me wrong... Love the band, but pigeon...

    Review Styx- Pieces of Eight (1978) **** 1/2

    I really wouldn't really call Styx the equivalency of Yes. Especially when you consider the shit they made the last 1/2 of their career, while Yes remained consistent. Nor was Styx remotely Prog post 1978 either. And even taking the best 3 of each band. CTTE, Yes Album, Fragile versus...

    Review Styx- Pieces of Eight (1978) **** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Styx- Pieces of Eight (1978) **** 1/2 Several months ago, when I wanted to choose a Styx album for review, it was pretty much a coin flip between this one, and "The Grand Illusion". And it was a tough call indeed, as both these albums released within a 14 month...
