    Review The Beatles- Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) *****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Beatles - Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) ***** This afternoon, I'll cover a classic, and forgo the ranking of the individual cuts on the LP, because of the difficulty of parsing such genius. While re-preparing this, I kept changing the...

    Review The Shaggs- Philosophy of the World (1969) **** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Shaggs- Philosophy of the World (1969) **** 1/2 Today’s installment was from a truly ground breaking group. The Shaggs were a 3 piece all girl group from New Hampshire that got huge inspiration from parental vision. They pre dated the Runaways by a decade...

    Led Zeppelin (Official Thread)

    Of course... Arguments could be made too for a 4 album streak Revolver through White Album- '66-'68 2112- Moving pictures (5) - '76-'81 Bayou Country- Cosmos Factory- '69-'70 And I am sure a few other, that I just haven't thought out. But just for my taste, impact, and pure excellence, if I...

    Led Zeppelin (Official Thread)

    After all these album reviews, I can pretty safely say no band had a more epic and greater 4 album consecutive run, than Zep's first 4.

    I wanna go High and Low Here! Who's the Hottest (Sexy) rocker ever and Do political leanings effect music choices?

    Very nice. Try to keep it PG-13, but late '70's Stevie often went bra-less on stage

    Review Emerson Lake and Palmer- Trilogy (1972) **** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Emerson Lake and Palmer- Trilogy (1972) **** 1/2 In today's review of ELP's 4th album strangely called Trilogy, which I guess was aligned with the number of band members instead of album enumeration. Well maybe 3 if you consider Pictures at an Exhibition a live...

    Review Blue Cheer- Self Titled (1969) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Blue Cheer- Self Titled (1969) *** Wowzer... This was probably about my 5th-8th album I ever bought. And tonight is probably the first time I have given it an entire listen in easily 50 years. And honestly I wasn't disappointed. Blue Cheer were quite...

    Review Led Zeppelin- Houses of the Holy (1973) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy- (1973) **** Now, introducing the end of one of the best runs of great albums in Rock History. Don't get me wrong H/H is a fabulous LP, but no doubt the bar was high. This is the band's first effort that wasn't near or at...

    Review Enya- Shepherd Moons (1991) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Enya- Shepherd Moons (1991) *** Didn't expect this one? I am not a fan of New Age Music, but I am a fan of enormous talent, and especially those who are at the apex in their genre. Enya is a hugely successful New Age Artist who has had world wide admiration...

    You Can Be GENE SIMMONS's Roadie For A Day — For $12,495

    Saw that too... Got to pick up the cost of your own ticket too. Kinda strange, since he includes in the packet a signed bass guitar. But $12K? Maybe someone Hendrix at the time or Zeppelin.

    I wanna go High and Low Here! Who's the Hottest (Sexy) rocker ever and Do political leanings effect music choices?

    Not sure we are supposed to discuss politics, but I had two lady music crushes back in the day. Agnetha from Abba (the uncool choice), and the cool choice... and my favorite.... Stevie Nicks circa '78-'79. I had her hot sweaty poster on my dorm room wall.

    Review Bachman Turner Overdrive- Not Fragile (1974) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Bachman Turner Overdrive- Not Fragile- (1974) *** Kind of surprised I haven't reviewed a BTO album here thus far. Oversight I guess. BTO was a huge early to mid 1970's AOR hard rocking outfit that took the "hook" concept to stratsopheric levels. Band came from...

    Review The Police- Zenyatta Mondatta (1980) ** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Police- Zenyatta Mondatta- (1980) ** 1/2 With apologies to the Talking Heads, who were by defacto critical and fan based adoration considered the "best in genre". My interest around New Wave bands was mostly limited to "The Cars", and to a lesser degree...

    Review Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream (1993) ***

    What did you think of it? I originally had it at 3 1/2 stars, but after a deeper listen, I realized that the real weak songs on the CD warranted the downgrade. An album of 50/50 good, just doesn't warrant approaching 4 stars.

    Review Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream (1993) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream (1993) *** Smashing Pumpkins's second effort, Siamese Dream thrust the band in the limelight, with a very strong effort of taking the Sabbath-ish fuzz distortion, and applying a Grunge/Indie/Alternative slant for meter and style...

    Review Deep Purple- Burn (1974) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Deep Purple- Burn (1974) **** Several reviews back I covered what was easily accepted by everybody as Deep Purples's very best album- Machine Head. #2 is a little tougher, but here is my choice- Burn from 1974. I know several out there, will disagree, but this...

    Review Steppenwolf- Self Titled (1968) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Steppenwolf , Self Titled (1968) *** 1/2 As a mere lad, this was one of my favorite bands. They were one of the few bands at the time on this side of the Atlantic that were finding that hard rocking sound and footing that was separating itself from the hard...
