    Still remember a song in my head 28 years ago

    I was in High School when this came out in '72. Even though there were many of us singing this loudly, our school admin (in 1972) wasn't anywhere cool enough to let this long haired, chicken head spittin' freak on the intercom. This was the era of Buck Owens and Herb Albert /s

    Best album of 1972

    1. Black Sabbath- Vol. 4 1. Deep Purple- Machine Head 3. Yes- CTTE 4. Moody Blues- Seventh Sojourn 5. Jethro Tull- Thick as a Brick Odd that at least from my tastes, the first two of these are the greatest metal albums ever made.

    Best album of 1971

    1971? The tandem of Led Zeppelin IV and Who's Next.... if you just base it on a "Top 2"... 1971, might be the greatest in history,

    Review Heart- Bad Animals (1987) ***

    Good review... I like your thoughts, kind of like mine that Bad Animals seemed like the last death throes of their end of creative excellence. Whether that drop is due some of Nancy's health issues, or whether the creative tap had been spent, I guess is open to debate, and a op-ed of whether...

    Review Heart- Bad Animals (1987) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Heart- Bad Animals. (1987) *** I have wanted to add a Heart LP to review for some time, but the YT/Vevo fascists have prevented its playing in entirety for the ones I felt had the most impact, power, and legacy- Their debut Dream Boat Annie. When these front...

    Review Fleetwood Mac- Mirage (1982) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Fleetwood Mac- Mirage (1982) *** 1/2 By 1982, the era of Fleetwood Mac's dominance and stranglehold on the radio had ended. The 3 previous behemoths had yielded 22M in sales, while today's album only sold 2M. It could be speculated that Fleetwood Mac by design...

    Review Black Sabbath - Paranoid- (1970) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Black Sabbath- Paranoid (1970) **** Sadly, a cornerstone of heavy metal passed away today (Ozzy Osbourne). For nearly 60 years he and his other mates much more set up trends and fashions in heavy metal. Hell.... they invented the metal genre single handedly...

    Review Rush- Hemispheres (1978) *****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Rush- Hemispheres (1978) ***** Rush had maybe 4-5 albums that I preferred over Hemisphere, but a band with (IMO) about 10- 5 star LP's, anyone of those 10 would be a fun choice to cover on any given day. Today, I chose Hemispheres for the fact that this was...

    Review Van Halen- Self Titled (1978) ** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Van Halen- Self Titled (1978) ** 1/2 I have always really liked Van Halen's music. There is no underestimating EVH's guitar wizardry, and how it changed hard rock in the late 1970's. I have been late to the game with a review, because as legendary as this band...

    Top Organ tunes

    All subjective of course, but my opinion of the keyboard high-water mark is ELP's Karnevil 9 suite.

    Review Kansas- Leftoverture (1976) ****

    Classic Album of the Day- Kansas- Leftoverture (1976). **** If I were asked right now, what is the absolute biggest omissions in the so called sham of a rock and roll hall of fame, I would have to overwhelming say that it is the band Kansas. These guys are top tier talent, and have great...

    Review UFO- Obsession (1978) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- UFO- Obsession (1978) *** Today's selection is somewhat of change of pace. I would pretty readily guess that almost everyone born after 1965, has not heard this band. But these hardworking journeymen of over 40+ years almost produced 2 dozen studio albums. The...

    Review Fleetwood Mac- Tusk (1979) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Fleetwood Mac- Tusk (1979). **** As Epic of a hit that Rumours became in 1979, yours truly will not dispute that fact, but even with the ubiquitous nature of that LP in the halls of modern classic rock universe. I recognize that the experimental basis of this...

    Review Blue Oyster Cult- The Revolution By Night (1983) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Blue Oyster Cult- The Revolution By Night (1983) **** Been wanting to cover a somewhat more obscure album for a while, and though this one might meet that criteria, as it is just crazy how underlooked, and unappreciated it was. BOC made a few albums better than...

    # If Hendrix was still Alive?

    Hendrix sure seemed to wanted to take more of a funk approach at the end. Had he lived, the likes of Rick James, Ohio Players, among others might have been overshadowed.

    Classic Rock Album of the Day Album- Asia- Asia (1982) * 1/2 Can you imagine my excitement in 1981, when I was reading about the formation of a band, a supergroup formed from pieces of Yes, King Crimson, and Emerson Lake and Palmer? Well, today I am deviating from the norm, and reviewing what...

    Loverboy - Debut (Rate this album)

    Haven't given it a former review, but from remembrance, I'd give it 3 stars, (6 on this scale) like Get Lucky. Albums are pretty close in quality, but give the nod to Get Lucky, for the fact the best 2 on it, are (IMO) better than the best 2 here.

    Review Loverboy- Get Lucky (1981) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Loverboy- Get Lucky (1981) *** There was a point in time when Canada got some serious players in rock and roll arena for airplay in the late '70's and early 1980's. None of them had the following or skills of Rush, but a few of the bands including Loverboy, April...
