I watched a Faith Hill concert movie from a long time ago. I used to listen to her a lot in the 2000s. I liked her Breathe and Cry albums. I just read about the eerie connection between Faith Hill and Reba McEntire: Faith Hill used to sell t-shirts for Reba McEntire. She once auditioned to be Reba's backup singer, but lost the gig to Paula Kaye Evans. In 1991, Paula Kaye Evans was killed in a plane crash with 6 other members of Reba's band and the band's manager. Reba herself wasn't on the plane because she had bronchitis. It just makes you think of all the what ifs. What if Faith had gotten that job? What if Reba hadn't been sick? The country music industry would be a lot different from what it is now. Reba's career would've been cut short. There would be no Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Their careers skyrocketed after they got married and became a power couple. Faith was Taylor Swift's mentor. Taylor also wrote a song about Tim.

American Pie - Don McLean

Beatles/LSD Lucy is 56 years old this week

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band aka The Beatles

George - Crackerbox Palace

Foo Fighters- Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace This is growing on me all the time.

Agreed. In fact working my way through this discography, I'm actually thinking the world at large underrated his abilities. He has an exceptional voice and its very emotionally charged. And I love his screams, he has a very versatile range.

Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love

One of the best middle fingers a director gave to a movie studio. Gilliam did it his way and the reviews gave Universal no other choice but to release it that way.

Endlessly rocking!

Neil Young/Old Man

Bill Withers/Ain't No Sunshine

The Association/Never My Love

That's exactly what I thought upon listening to this - same energy as the debut. I rarely listened to FF's after TCATS. There's an attitude on this album, just doing what it wants. Lots of FF's albums seem heavily scripted to me, going through the motions. This doesn't IMO. I'll defo be listening to this again and again.

Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me

lol....it's a weird thing to say but when i picture hard rock just sanitized for your mom i see the foos, lol. Mick

Yeah, you should just go back to your AOR. You won't get anything like that there 😄

Out Of the Cradle

King of Dreams - Deep Purple

Megadeth

Welcome Back, My Friends... -- Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Jacob's Ladder -- Rush

Led Zeppelin

Thinking about the good old boys heads exploding when they see this. Let the boycotting begin.

In the End - RUSH

(The) Very Best of the Doors - The Doors

Gayle Garnett/We'll Sing in the Sunshine

Updated Dan Fogelberg 1. Windows and Walls (My new fav. it's perfect t has all the great sides of him in one album. with less Innocent Age Pretentiousness. 2. Captured Angel 3. Souvenirs 4. Innocent Age (huge hit and rightfully so. some fantastic music to be heard, but there are moments of i'm important creeping in on here) 5. Nether Lands (another one that gets better the more you time you spend on it) 6. Phoenix (great intro album and i still recommend it as a jump off point. but ultimately not often i reach for it....i will pick tunes off it i want to hear though. Also has Longer and.......that's the worst song he ever wrote.) 7. Exiles (one i reach for even less though Lonely in love is amazing) 8. Home Free 9. The Wild Places 10. High Country Snows he has others but these are the ones i know and really his tank drys up after 1987. Mick

I listen to this more than The Wall and Animals combined. I love it!

White Lion - Wait

Not that I heard. I did have quite a few beers though. Was interesting to hear Terry say he's a big fan of the 80s albums that he didn't produce. Also that Geddy recorded YYZ using his brand new Steinberger bass

Do It - The Doors

Awesome! Mirrors doesn't get enough love! What's your top fave?

No, tasty nuggs, polite kids and clean bathrooms. Unlike a Burger King crap-shoot, might be nice or might be like eating in urinal.

The Who - Drowned

Rush - Signals ( twice ) ‘82 (10/10) Styx - Cornerstone ‘79 (9/10) Toto - Hydra ‘79 (9/10 )

Snakes & Arrows was about eight or ten good songs -- it definitley could have used a trim. At 67% of the runtime, it would be the perfect example of addition by subtraction.

Talking Heads -- More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978)

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar

ELP - From The Beginning

Stones - Moonlight Mile ** Taylor's guitar is haunting

Foo Fighters- Concrete And Gold I really love this album. Some of their most ambitious music, I think it is maybe their most underrated

Foo Fighters- Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace Another album I've come to love. Not spotless, but close enough. Foo Fighters put on the best live show I've ever seen, I'm glad that as I get older, nostalgia sees me warm to the studio work, which combined with my memories of the late concert, sees them go up and up in my estimation. Also, in an age when "rock music is dying", they have hits for the ages. Like...people dismiss them as being a bit of a "greatest hits" band these days, but like...I mean...they have hits for DAAAAAAAAAYS! One of those bands I love more and more and more. (As a side note, I saw them live with Biffy Clyro and Jimmy Eat World supporting. I wasn't the FF fan then that I am now, but my god they blew my two faves out the water!). Throw in The Killers and Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, Jimmy and Biffy are my top five rock bands of the last 23 years. Throw in Alter Bridge, who toe the line frequently between rock and metal for me.

Foo Fighters- One By One This is one or the most insanely frustrating albums I've ever heard. Based on the best songs, this had potential to be a truly magnificent album...but it's mostly filler!!!! Still, Times Like These is a song for the ages. I love that song with all my soul.

After seeing the announcement, I now have a lot of memories flooding back into my consciousness. My first two rock concerts were KISS: mid 70’s, Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum. I was 15 and a huge fanatic. No other bands existed in my world. *SIGH* It took about 2-3 years for me to escape the Cult of KISS, and I went on to see every band possible. I saw so many, but I also missed some big ones, like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath (with Ozzy)….I still feel sad about those. But I did see RUSH in Cincinnati - not once but twice! I was very happy to have joined a new Cult, one that still has me fully under its thumb. Growing older and seeing all my favorite bands fade away can be disheartening, but the music always rescues me. It’s always about the music. It will endure…..always.

I heard this on the radio today. Still stellar
