Made In Japan
I am completely and totally sure this was not made in Japan. The music was played in Japan, I’ll give it that, but now way in creation that…

The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society
These guys tried SO HARD to be the new Beatles. And the new The Who. And the new Pink Floyd. And the new Kinks, even though they already…
-
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme
There are WAY better spice combinations in this world. Take equal parts of garlic powder, salt, and sugar, add some black pepper, and a…
-
Electric Warrior
Oh man, these guys are behind their time, can’t believe they came out in 2018, from that post on youtube. They should have been one of…
-
Born To Run
I would really like to not like this. I mean, who wants somebody else to appoint themselves “the boss”? Pretty presumptive, yes? But, I…
-
This Year’s Model
Pretty good. Was at a show of his some decades ago where he insulted the audience, along the lines of “Well, you fckers showed up so let’s…
-
The Next Day
Wait, is this guy… gay or something? He seems to be a little off the beaten track. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing here. Music needs…
-
Time Out Of Mind
Did Bob ever answer Frank Zappa’s question about Mandies? Bob has gotten better at his craft as time has progressed well, that whole gospel…
-
Can’t Buy A Thrill
Really quite good, for a band named after a dildo. No, really! The name came from William S. Burroughs’ novel, “Naked Lunch”, which, if you…
-
Physical Graffiti
Most people think the name of this band came about because of the phrase “that’ll go over about as well as a lead balloon”, except using a…
-
The Madcap Laughs
I liked him better when he was part of that more famous band. I seem to recall it was the Beach Boys
-
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Pretty alright. Still, they need more chicks in this lonely hearts club. A real sausage fest as it stands
-
At Folsom Prison
Johnny always sounded kinda nervous and wired to me. In this set, he references taking some shots of cocaine, but that wouldn’t make…
-
The Notorious Byrd Brothers
Sounds like some good old country boys dropped acid then slugged down a years worth of estrogen before writing songs.
-
Pet Sounds
Music by and for limp wristed latent homosexual frat boys. The overtones of bestiality on the album cover are also a bit much.
-
Deep Purple In Rock
Purple? Probably more like indigo. Definitely not on the violet side of the spectrum. Deep? Eh, maybe. Guess that’s really a matter of…
-
Dire Straits
“Dire” implies something urgent, desperate, grievously troublesome, or of a nature that invokes fear or suffering. A “strait” is a narrow…
-
My Aim Is True
Ah yeah, the other Elvis. This one never really got fat and sweaty that I’m aware of, anyway, and no one seemed to care much if he left the…
-
Lust For Life
Iggy Pop is a music legend, so I’m told well, really, I read that, no one actually told me. So, I’m supposed to like this, right? Well,…
-
Fifth Dimension
There’s one thing that always bothered me about these guys. It’s not the fact that their songs all sound pretty much the same. It’s not the…
-
Toys in the Attic
Toys In The Attic – Aerosmith Aerosmith wasn’t really a big attraction at first back in the day, as us old farts like to say. It was pretty…
-
American Pie
Bye bye miss American pie… We all know that, right? Maybe not those of you new to the music world, but you’ll get there… That’s BY FAR the…
-
Blonde On Blonde
Hey Bobby! Good to hear from you again! Lotsa stoned going on, for everybody. But I don’t think he means it in a way that is pleasurable to…
-
Bayou Country
Wanna talk juxtaposition? Imagine, you’re in China for the Lunar New Year that’s pretty much the biggest holiday for most in the Asian…
-
At Fillmore East
I wrote a great review for this album. It was full of wit, deep insight, and life altering observations that would have led to world peace…
-
Rust Never Sleeps
This album holds a special place in my heart. The first bass line I ever learned to play Into the Black came from this one. I sucked at it,…
-
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Crosby, Stills and Nash, Nash and Stills and Crosby, Stills and Nash and Crosby, Stills and Crosby and Nash. Seems like something is…
-
John Barleycorn Must Die
Who is John Barleycorn, and why must he die? And who enlisted Stevie Winwood to help advertise this hit? You know what would be cool? If…
-
Music from Big Pink
I think it’s a little arrogant that they call themselves THE band, as there are many, many bands in the world. Unless they’re trying to…
