My Aim Is True
Elvis Costello
Wow, it’s hard to believe this is his first, and not a greatest hits album. Lots of really good tunes, and “Alison” just gets better and better with age.
“Watching the Detectives” still has an incredible base line and punchey drums, “Less than Zero”, and “Blame it on Cain” still hold up 45 years.

Well everyone has their opinion, I reviewed a few for this recording. The individuals that rated this anything over 2, I wonder what they think of Dark side of the moon?
This was another me 2 hip hop piece of turd, with very little originality. The only saving moment was the string arrangement

We bought this when it was released, and were blown away with so many amazing songs. 55 years later it is still so solid!
Yes there are a few so-so efforts (like Honey Pie, Rev #9), however when you consider how many incredible songs are on this double LP:
-Well my Guitar gently weeps
-Helter Skelter
- Obla de
- Back in the USSR
- I’m so tired
- Dear Prudence
- Sexy Sadie
- Rocky Raccoon
- Piggies
- Julia
- I will
- Birthday
- Revolution 1
- Mother Nature’s son
Above all my favorite is Yer Blues
“The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll”
This is truly one of my top 10!

Like a fine wine (nod to Gary/Geddy), this fine piece of craftsmanship only improves with time.
All 3 musicians continue to improve and expand, it’s hard to believe 3 guys can create and replicate this live!
The writing is solid, incredible bass lines, amazing guitar, and unimaginably sophisticated drums. Neil’s lyrics just keep getting better, how do they do it?
Highlights for me have always been: Red Barchetta, Tom Sawyer, and YYZ (Toronto’ airport call letters) just blow me away.

Hunky Dory
David Bowie
Very impressed by so many things on this recording, you can see why Bowie had such a successful long career.
Ya I have heard Changes, Andy Worhal, oh you pretty thing, and Life on Mars many many times and always liked them. However there are so many other great guitar rifts (Eignt line Poem), and lyrics (Quicksand). Unfortunately a few duds held me back from a 5-star

Smoke on the Water is one of the stand out tracks of this period of time, but there are so many other great tracks: Lazy is a great boogie-woogie tune with incredible organ, Highway Star rocks, and who could forget the driving Space Trucking. Definitely 1 of my 10 island picks

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
How can you compare this to so many of the other albums on the list, TOP of the HEAP!
Steely Dan just blows so many other recording artists away. The song Pretzel Logic is so good:
“I stand upon the platform
The man gave me the news:
He said you must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes?”
The guitar solo rocks, the organ and the piano rhythms blend so well. The horns and guitar licks near the end, are the icing on the cake This is one of my favourite Dan tracks.
Charlie Freak, so well written, and Rikki is outstanding.
I would have given this a 5 star, but there are a number of weaker tracks
