Deep Purple-Fireball (9/10) This a great record. Anyone's Daughter.....is a thing they did but i love everything else!!! DP is one of thoes bands i put em on and i love them more than i thought, lol Mick

Deep Purple-Machine head (10/10) Mick

Dio-Holy Diver (10/10) Mick

Side 2 is killer. Flip sides A & B and maybe re-tool the song order and I think the album as a whole is much better.

Deep Purple are fantastic, especially MK II.

Yeah but that's a little bit expensive, especially if you have every single album about 12 times already.

Judas Priest- Invincible Shield Saxon- Hell, Fire And Damnation I have to say, these two albums are blowing me away!

Last night's game in Vancouver was a topsy turvy event. Avs found themselves down 2-0 early in the game and when the Canucks scored again in the 2nd period, it looked like it wasn't their night. Mikko scores a goal with 2 seconds left in the 2nd period, so there's a chance. Avs come out hard and tie it up 3-3 in the third. It was going to overtime but Vancouver hit the puck over the glass with time running out. So Avs get a power play in OT and win it with a crazy bounce off Nichushkin's visor. Crazy

I have and she looks wonderfully made and destined for great things! If I knew how to put pictures here, I'd add one (old guy issues . . .).

Oh yah, I was going to mention that as well...but it is a good download for the "live" stuff!! If you can find it!

Steely Dan-Pretzel Logic (10/10) Mick

i'm forever bouncing between Making Movies and Love over Gold as my fav. both tremendous records. Mick

I'm so good at sleeping I can do it with my eyes closed.

That was my #1 for a long time, but Making Movies has taken the top spot in recent years. The songs on that album are really fun to play and sing.

My day was made yesterday because I became a grandfather for the first time! A healthy baby girl, born 9:51 pm!

I generally travel abroad every two to three years, mostly to Europe. My last trip was a three-week visit to Ireland. With COVID and such it's been nearly six years since that trip, and, having no intention to travel, I didn't pay attention to my passport renewal date and it expired. So I had to renew. Big Gov beaurocracy nightmare coming my way, right? Two weeks ago I set up an appointment to do the paperwork in small town courthouse 20 minutes south of here. No line, photo on site, pleasant conversation. The cherry on top...my passport arrived today. Two. Weeks.

My cat of 15 years passed on Monday from an accident and I received his ashes on Thursday.Rest in peace Crookshanks, my buddy, my friend 🧡 I'll see you on the Rainbow Bridge.I'll take care of your sister for you.

i do love peaches too. i will admit that song smokes. Mick

Peaches En Regalia alone gives the album a top 15 spot for me. I'll admit the rest of the album isn't up to par with that track, but it's still great.

wHO DIED AND MaDe you emPEror?

i'll tell you why....i'm not a fan of all instrumental albums. simple as that. i appreciate the talent on there but i get bored really quick if there's no vocals. i can deal with an isolated instrumental on an album. which Zappa has done too. but a full album i just zone out. i mean it does have one vocal in Willie The Pimp but that's it, Mick

Van Diemen's Land - U2

My eyes see...Oppenheimer.

Under My Thumb ---- Rolling Stones

And let people, businesses and agencies adjust their hours as they see fit

I could never get too into Sleep Dirt or Them or Us, maybe I should give those another shot. Even doing a top 15 for Zappa is pretty difficult tbh, but Joe's Garage would have to be my #1, and I know a few of the albums you listed would overlap.

A fine band

Avs start out slow against Calgary but made up for it with a 5 goal burst in the 2nd period. I can see why Avs got some extra bodies at the deadline rather than another goalie. Had Lekhonen and Parise out with illness/injuries. Just lost Logan O'Connor for the season (hip surgery). The big line is scoring like a machine. MacKinnon kept up his points and will pass his own scoring record with one more goal. Nichushkin picked up where he left off, has helped the power play get back on track. Mikko had 4 points last night as well. Now tonight will be in Vancouver, this should be a big game.

Live at Massey Hall: Geddy and Alex

Ok Zappa. i have decided to give you my 15 favs but ranked . now just to put this in perspective. he released about 60 albums JUST IN HIS LIFETIME. And i don't know how many more posthumously. i will include live albums in here. because every live album always had new material not on studio albums. and really all his live stuff had numerous studio overdubs anyway. with that in mind. and BTW i hope this helps budding fans who might be interested 1. Over-Nite Sensation 2. Zappa In New York (live) 3. Apostrophe 4. Shiek Yerbouti (semi live with Studio Elements) 5. Roxy & Elsewhere (live) 6. Zoot Allures 7. Tinseltown Rebellion (live) 8. You Are What You Is 9. Joe's Garage 10. One Size Fits All 11. You Can't Do that On Stage Anymore vol 1 (live) 12. You Can't Do that....Vol. 2 (live) 13. We're only In it For the Money 14. Sleep Dirt 15. Them or us. those are my fav 15. if any interests you and you feel hooked. there's plenty more out there but i feel ANY of these are good starts. Mick

Love Over Gold is my fave

Time and Time Again - Counting Crows

I love Battallions of Fear! Edge Of Time is fine. Wish I enjoyed it more as I really love some songs (especially Wheel Of Time, based on one of my top three fantasy series ever)

Very well executed. You guys kept the tempo under control, and your drummer in particular seemed very much in control, taking his time to execute the fills with precision.

Strangers in the Night - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

So stupid. I prefer the current time because it stays light longer after I get home from work but just keep it on one or the other.

I'll have to listen to Dire Straits a lot more before deciding on a ranking I'm comfortable with for them, but I'm pretty sure "Love Over Gold" will come in first..

I've been away for several years now. Wow time has flown by but I can remember the name Loraine many years ago. I'll miss her hoping ALL was peaceful in the end. ✌️ rest in it.

It's Saxon and Uriah Heep in the UK.

2011 - Killer Joe

Told a great joke to a bunch of my co-workers. They were amazed! It was so good, the HR Lady has now invited me over to tell it to her!

Our college wifi network in 2012 was named "FBI Surveillance Van 6"

East of Eden could be the best novel I’ve ever read. I’ll hold off crowning it the champ until I reread it in a year or two. I’m most of the way through Of Mice and Man, and it’s good, but just so much less universal and ambitious. Perhaps I shouldn’t have started with the best.

I used to love buying illustrated classics at elementary school book fairs.

I don't read many graphic novels but I recently read Star Wars: Kanan Ominbus. Been re-watching the Clone Wars animated series and Rebels so this gave some good background story on Kanan. Wasn't linear storyline but enjoyed it.

Thank you all! I had a great birthday weekend with my friends and family!
