    Review Queen- II (1974) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Queen - Queen II (1974) **** When I previously reviewed the first Queen album it was a tough call as both I and II are absolute classics. No one can doubt their talent, range, and influence, and though they became much bigger stars in the late 1970's and '80's...

    Black Sabbath to reform?

    I kind of hate seeing it happen. Sabbath has a legacy, don't tarnish it.

    Review Abba- Abba: The Album (1977) ** 1/2

    Classic Rock Pop Album of the Day- Abba- Abba: The Album (1977) ** 1/2 Today's installment is from my guilty pleasures archive. For the terribly uninformed, Abba obviously was not a rock group. They were a Swedish pop group that made very good melodic uber-hooked hits, and sold tons of...

    Review Nine Inch Nails- Pretty Hate Machine (1989) ****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Nine Inch Nails- Pretty Hate Machine (1989) **** No, Trent Reznor never denied the influence of Depeche Mode. And in this highly acclaimed debut album, the tinge of Depeche Mode is evident in micro bits and pieces of the deep grooves of style and substance...

    Review Creedence Clearwater Revival- Cosmos Factory- (1970) *****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Creedence Clearwater Revival- Cosmo Factory (1970) ***** Outside the Beatles, probably not one other band has crowded in such a short period of time such great and amazing songwriting skills and hit making than the iconic band CCR. This band pretty much defined...

    Review Judas Priest- British Steel (1980) ***

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Judas Priest- British Steel (1980) *** I like to brag that we Rush fans are among the most loyal and fervent on earth. Of course that point is debatable, and fans of today's band could also make a believable argument too. Judas Priest is definitely one of the...

    Review Rush- Farewell to Kings- (1977) *****

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Rush- Farewell to Kings- (1977) ***** It was a well known fact that Rush really hit their professional turning point in '76 with 2112. It was a pivotal event not only allowing them artistic control of their product, but it did two other things in cementing their...

    Review Neil Young- Tonight's the Night (1975) ****

    No, but I have vinyl going back to the mid to late 60's. I played many so often, I am guessing that a lot of those are very valuable based on wear. I am guessing the more valuable ones will the ones like my Yellow Gold Grand Funk album. AC School's Out, still with the panties, among others...

    Review Neil Young- Tonight's the Night (1975) ****

    I used to be anal retentive on making sure my Neil Young Vinyl collection was up to complete, in the day, and it was not an easy task. Kept it up till about 1992, then lost interest. I even have an original WB Reprise "On the Beach" LP, which was a really difficult find even for a record...

    Review Weezer- Weezer (Green Album) 2001- *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Weezer- Weezer (Green Album) (2001)- *** 1/2 Weezer was always one of the bright spots as the late '80's and early '90's started ushering in gaping wide holes, and a vacuum of not only good rock bands, but rock bands in general. At this point in history of the...

    Review Led Zeppelin- In Through the Out Door (1979) ****

    My one shot at Zep was to go was in '77 at either Baton Rouge and Houston. Sucker sold out so fast, I didn't have a chance. Those who did get to see them (like Hendrix) truly were very lucky,

    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, contrasting today's album which only yielded 2M. It could be speculated that...
