    Review AC-DC- Highway to Hell (1979) **** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- AC-DC - Highway to Hell (1979) **** 1/2 I'll just say it. Is this the most fun, rocking, and party-worthy band of all time? They are for me. AC/DC is another one of those absolutely great bands who have a perfect read on the pulse of their fans. Are they great...

    Review Rush-2112 (1976) *****

    I actually couldn't either. I do know she hung around the Runaways (Joan Jett, Lita Ford, et.al) , in the day. And Fonzie wasn't the only that jumped the shark in Happy Days. Her silly performance in the show, was another nail in her Rock and Roll careeer. Any leather coolness she earned in...

    Songs That Sound Better At Night

    I can remember listening to Beaker Street back in the early 1970's, and Clyde Clifford often would play songs like "The End" and "Riders on the Storm" from The Doors. Since his show ran 11P-2A nightly, these songs have that. eeriy night like feel to me.

    Classic Rock Album of the Day - Blink 182- Enema of the State- (1999) *** 1/2 I'm guessing no one expected to see this one coming. And in fact this one is a year or so that I'd ever cover short of the "25 year" criteria for Classic Rock. But my children knew I would be "open minded" with...

    Review Yes- Close to the Edge (1972) *****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Yes - Close to the Edge- (1972)- ***** Half of the fun of doing these reviews is choosing an LP that is a joy to hear, like seeing a masterpiece. A masterpiece in essence of an audio painting that is 10X greater than the sum of its pieces. Yes is that kind of...

    My Top 20 Lists that I compiled as a kid 1973-1990

    just my personal preferences, and I am probably unlike most early Sabbath fans, where my preferences were Vol4, Master of Reality, Paranoid, and then Self Titled. Of course these are my early tastes... Which changes drastically as the months and years pass.

    Review Creedence Clearwater Revival- Willy and the Poor Boys- (1969) *****

    Very very cool. I am huge into genalogy. Probably more obsessed with it than music. Only rocker I am related to is Don Henley (3rd cousin once removed)

    Classic Album of the Day- Creedence Clearwater Revival- Willy and the Poor Boys (1969). ***** If you take the factor of longevity out of the equation, there can be a strong argument made that Creedence Clearwater Revivial may be the greatest American rock band in history. Try listening more...

    Review The Beatles- Magical Mystery Tour (1967) *****

    I guess one thing, I should have mentioned, is that reviews, opinions etc, when it comes to music is purely subjective. There is and never will be an empirical formula for how good a song. There are no wrong or right opinions when it comes to tunes. It boils down to preferences and nuanced...

    Review Emerson Lake and Palmer- Tarkus (1971) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Emerson Lake and Palmer- Tarkus (1971). *** Today's installment is the best composition from the best composers of rock history. So why only 3 stars? Just because a piece of music is at its utter best at composition, does not necessarily mean, translate, and...

    "Unlistenable" might not be what I exactly meant. I've done a Tarkus review, and I'll add a little later, to let you see where I am coming from.
