Hotel California by Eagles
Sep 05 2023

Such a great album, a classic. But then again it WAS 1976

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Sep 16 2023

Not his best but definitely a good album and I especially like higher ground.

Ramones by Ramones
Sep 28 2023

Proof that every once in awhile a group of musicians can make some money and have an impact on the music industry without actually having much talent

Van Halen by Van Halen
Oct 14 2023

This was really an awesome album when it came out. After the fantastic music of the '70s there was a huge lull and then this come out and we had something to listen to again. It seemed like there was hope. That's it I don't really appreciate it that much anymore but no one can deny that Eddie Van Halen pushed the guitar world forward in regards to technique

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Nov 01 2023

not their best by any means but Definity some good stuff.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Nov 05 2023

If you're a P. G. Fan it's ok. Games without frontiers got a lot of play and us my favorite even though top 40 freak usually doesn't appeal to me. No big earworms like his "Sledgehammer". Not my cup of tea but I wasn't in pain listening to it.

Nov 06 2023

I like Yes but I have to be in the right mood for this one. The title track might be good for meditation or falling asleep'

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Nov 07 2023

Tumbling dice was pretty good but they have better albums.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 10 2023

Great album. The things he does with his voice, the production and the musicians he manages to pull together. Awesome!

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Nov 12 2023

Very good album, especially liked Dreamer and Bloody Well Right. Superb musicians and production I could listen to this a lot and an audiophile system will reward you.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Nov 13 2023

What a great album, so many classics. Love his unusual guitar playing style. Down by the river Cinnamon girl Cowgirl in the sand One of the best from the 60s

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 14 2023
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 17 2023

So many good songs on this 1960s. Classic. Bad moon rising, Lodi, Green River, etc. John fogerty's voice is one of the things that makes this band awesome, but also the simple yet catchy guitar rhythms and solos. Every kid learning the rock guitar learns some creedance clear water revival songs

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 21 2023

I forgot how good this album from 1974 is. I especially like Ricky don't lose that number

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Nov 24 2023

Nice to hear live versions of some of the studio stuff I loved: The boys are back in town, Jailbreak, Sha la la, Dancing in the moon light.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Dec 05 2023

Pretty good album, I definitely enjoyed sympathy for the devil

Live At Leeds by The Who
Dec 07 2023

Not near as good as the studio versions but definitely would have been a concert worth going to back in the day

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 14 2023

This is a really fantastic and historical heavy metal album. Actually groundbreaking in 1970. The songs paranoid, and with war pigs really show off what the band is all about. The song iron Man tells a really cute little story and is a must play for any early heavy metal guitar. God, wannabe. Tony's guitar riffs are really cool. Even though most of them are simple to play. You would never know that some of the adjustments he makes because of his disability. It. And Ozzy is a great front man. I don't want to see him bite the head off of a live bat, but I can always understand his lyrics and he just adds to the bands. Persona. Even if you're not into heavy metal, this is definitely worth a listen.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Dec 18 2023

Not my cup of tea, stuff like this is why I quit listening to the radio
