This is probably my least favorite of the “Big 6” Ozzy albums, but it’s still very good, and has “Supernaut,” which is outstanding.

A seminal, important album for both rock and The Who, though I’d rather listen to virtually any other Moon-era Who album over this. The studio version of Tommy cannot compare to any of the late 60s/early 70s live versions that eventually got released.

Aja by Steely Dan

Close your eyes, and picture yourself on a yacht, where everyone there looks like either The Captain or Tennille. The soft, jazz-rock sounds of music completes this backdrop, and are the sounds of Steely Dan’s Aja.
