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

    Looking forward to more of @fixme79 's insightful comments, instead of just more proof that his half the population has less than an 100 IQ.

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

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Led Zeppelin- In Through the Out Door (1979) **** Kind of mixed emotions today with this review. This one had previously completed my review of the LZ discography, and of course was the last studio effort by one of the all time greats. I had previously panned...

    Review Allman Brothers - Self Titled (1969) *** 1/2

    Ha Ha... actually more of a senior moment than boozing. I actually liked the Willlbury collaboration, with the expectation that we would get songwriting instead of of musicanship. I don't think the intent was ever to do any ground breaking. Just good solid vicarious fun. Diff strokes I guess

    Oops.... sorry doc. Comment was on the wrong thread. Above was intended for the Captain Beyond LP.

    Review Allman Brothers - Self Titled (1969) *** 1/2

    Point well taken Doc. Again subjective to what is likely a minority POV. But again my take is that I love when multi-genre talents collaborate.... like the Wilbury's. This one just seemed contrived and forced. And maybe more of a skewed disappointment than a a look at content alone.

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

    I had Zep near the top of these lists even back to the first ones in '73. I have no idea of why some of these re-entered during the subsequent years. Maybe nostalgia? Maybe lack of new good music? honest, I don't remember, and these were what I wrote down at the time.

    Review Journey- Departure (1980) *** 1/2

    Though the language is strong...DDY and Perry took what I thought were great rock bands and turned them into pop acts. Again, just one reviewer's opinion. I am sure there is a contingent out there who preferred this direction. Me? I think a lot of great music was left on the table by these...

    Review Rush - Moving Pictures (1981)

    My review. See no need to add an other thread.... Classic Album of the Day- Rush- Moving Picture (1981) ***** First a disclaimer. Rush is my favorite band, but you might be surprised, as far as ranking as favorites, I have it at #5 or #6 in their catalog. Which puts me in the extreme...

    Review Journey- Departure (1980) *** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Journey- Departure- 1980 *** 1/2 This particular album has so much ambivalence for me, and for a couple of reasons... 1979 - 1980 was a massive line of demarcation for Journey. This exact moment in their history sees a significant shift toward pop-rocking, while...

    Favorite pic of your favorite artist

    And another of an artist and an ARTIST. Understand Alice still has the painting that was given to him. Which at last glance is probably worth $2-10M Million.

    Rate The Song Above You Part III

    Big fan of GFR in the day. I'd give it an 8.0/10. I do have to admit I think Terry Knight jelled with Mark, Don, and Mel a little better in some subsequent albums. Not that polish or hook is better, just my $.02. :brew: Hmmm... think I'll put one on the tee for the next one.... :woot:

    Sorry Doc. I don't mind if they reply to the GFR track. All's good.

    Rate The Song Above You Part III

    8.5/10.... Man I missed the '60's and early '70's where the Hammond was used so masterfully in music. Uriah Heep is terribly under-appreciated in the annals of Rock History. Was a staple of Beaker Street, and rightfully so. I am an admitted Rush Fan boy, and wanted to add my favorite obscure...

    ELO spaceship vs Boston spaceship

    The Boston version is shooting out beams, just looking for victims for anal probes. We all felt that way after being sucked into buying it on reputation (/s) alone. Gotta be, since this album is the shittiest followup LP in Rock and Roll history.

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Moody Blues- To Our Children's Children's Children (1969) **** I had previously reviewed the bookends of what I feel is the Golden era of the Moody Blues, and those two were the most imaginative, with their first being in the forefront of innovation, and the...

    Review Yes- Going For the One- (1977) *** 1/2

    @dr wu I was fascinated on how turbulent this era was within Yes' history. I understand that Howe has a temperamental streak, and was taken pretty aback that his solo album got the worst reviews of what the band put out there circa '75. When you notice that he didn't have any lead writing...
