    Review The Who- The Who Sell Out (1967) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Who- The Who Sell Out- (1967) *** 1/2 This Fascinating and semi-ground breaking LP that exemplifies and parallels the Beatle Mania Mod transition to psychadaelia. This particular album is genius in that somewhat serves as a concept album of illustrating how...

    Influential Jazz Artists?

    I am definitely out of my genre-ic wheel house. But what did get us Rockers attention back in the day, was the mid 70's work of Return to Forever with Correa, Clarke, and Di Meoloa.

    Review Foreigner- Agent Provocateur (1984) ****

    (Random) Classic Rock Album of the Day- Foreigner - Agent Provocateur (1984). **** Thought I would try something new. With a couple of thousand of LP's, I figured it might be different and interesting to close the eyes, and point to one in a random fashion to review. Today's random pick...

    whose your favourite late 60 west coast band?

    CCR hands down and by a mile. If you take the factor of longevity out of it, it could be argued that they were the greatest American Rock band period.

    Kingsmen

    Love this rendition that taught my generation the greatness of this song. This song and Wild Thing might be the most covered songs of that era.

    Review Lynyrd Skynyrd- (Pronounced- Len-nerd Skin-nerd)- (1973) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Lynyrd Skynyrd- (Pronounced- Len-nerd Skin-nerd)- (1973) **** Thought I might cover this lengendary Southern staple today. As a genre, it was fantastic fork in the road genre, that was fresh off the Psychedelia era. This band, and the Allman Bros., caught the...

    Review Styx- Equinox (1975) **** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Styx- Equinox (1975) **** 1/2 I have a lot of emotion invested in this LP. This and my Boston debut album dominated my turntable and Truck 8-Track during the 1976-1977 timeframe. This was also the first sucessful LP of the first great band that I got to see...

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

    I can remember seeing him ('80?) like it was yesterday. I do remember not being able to get close, and the bar (venue) had minimal visibility in smoke. I only stayed an hour, but wish I had seen the entire gig, as it was history in the making.

    Review Neil Young- Everybody's Rockin' (1983) 0*

    Know how bad it was? I went to the concert supporting this LP, and Young was almost boo'ed off the stage. He played 100% this album... nothing else. No encore... BOO!!!!!!

    What Are You Listening to Now? Pics/Videos

    Want to see legacy and respect? When a band of the greatness of Primus dedicates half their gig to honor and perform a Rush tribute. And thank goodness there's always one in every crowd who sacrifices their concert experience to highlight their I-phone filming skills. Because I couldn't...

    Review Neil Young- Everybody's Rockin' (1983) 0*

    Today, someone asked me, if I consider any album ever made, ZERO STARS...... This Young shitstir dumpster fire comes as close (IMO), 100.000% Filler Frisbee. Should have gotten jail time for auditory assault...

    Review Rush- Vapor Trails (2002) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Rush- Vapor Trails- 2002 **** This is the great comback album, after the band took a hiatus after the tragic losses in Neil Peart's family. And Mr Peart released a lot of pent up emotion, and it came out in a mix of retrospection on both sides of the emotional...

    Review Blink 182- Take Off Your Pants and Jacket- (2001) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Blink 182- Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) *** Blink had a tough act to follow. To followup on the massively successful "Enema of the State", would be an almost an impossible feat. Enema was Quintuple Platinum, which is (was) a pretty amazing...

    Rush is going back on the road

    I'm going to be a contrarian. on this matter, and most of you know I am among the biggest Rush fans out there. After seeing Ozzy being wheeled around for the final gig, I'd hope my favorite babd wouldn't sully their live product, which was among if not the best in Rock. Second, after...

    Review The Cars- Candy-O (1979) ****

    Classic Album of the Day- The Cars- Candy O (1979). **** Bands like The Cars, The Police, Elvis Costello, among another put a big dent into the AOR Arena Rock era,. They called and identified the genre soon afterwards as New Wave. So we ditched our long hair and Tee shirts for sunglasses...

    Review Bloodrock- 2 (1970) *** 1/2

    Sadly have not heard this track, or at least don't remember it. By this LP, I had pretty much given up on the band. Doesn't even sound like the same band does it? Pickens and Rutledge's departure sure changed the dynamics.
