ReRushed

I love the Immaculate Grid. A very humbling game...

Doug Clifford and Stu Cook are probably the most under appreciated rhythm section in Rock music. Smooth and tight. Creedence's secret weapon. Fogerty's post-Creedence songs never had the same feel or quality.

"Someday Never Comes" and "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" are top notch Creedence tunes. "Lookin' for a Reason" is a pleasant Hank Williams inspired, toe tapping tune. Wait, those are the songs John Fogerty wrote...

"Strawberry Fields Forever" - The Beatles "I Found Out" - John Lennon "I'm Set Free" - The Velvet Underground" "I'll Come Running" - Brian Eno "'Til I Die" - The Beach Boys "I Believe" - Buzzcocks "Centerfield" - John Fogerty "The Whole of the Moon" - The Waterboys "Freewill" - Rush "Watching the Wheels" - John Lennon Honorable mentions: "Tomorrow" - Wall of Voodoo, "Sign on the Window" - Bob Dylan, "Subdivisions" - Rush, "I Believe" - R.E.M., "Respectable Street" - XTC

Big Thief - Masterpiece [9/10] King Crimson - Red [10/10] Built To Spill - Perfect From Now On [9/10] PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea [9/10] Wire - Send [9/10]

They are overrated. Good, but overrated.

Physical Graffiti by miles.

Rest in peace, Mr. Verlaine. Marquee Moon is a sublime album. Razor sharp guitars slashing and cutting through every song.

Judas Priest - Point of Entry [7/10]

David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name [6/10] Ween - Quebec [9/10] AC/DC - Back in Black [10/10]

Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman [9/10] Black Sabbath - Mob Rules [8/10] The Michael Schenker Group - MSG [6/10] Whitesnake - Come An' Get It [5/10]

Diary of a Madman is a much better album than Blizzard of Ozz.

"Hard Hearted Alice" and "Teenage Lament '74" are top notch. Two of my Alice Cooper favs.

David Coverdale is a terrible lyricist.

A Baker's Dozen off the top of my head: Brian Eno - Another Green World Daryl Hall - Sacred Songs Neil Young - After the Gold Rush John Lennon - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band George Harrison - All Things Must Pass Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 3 Paul Simon - Graceland Colin Newman - Commercial Suicide Robbie Robertson - Robbie Robertson Roger Taylor - Fun In Space Lou Reed - New Sensations Pete Townshend - Empty Glass David Johansen - David Johansen

Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz [7/10] Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell [9/10] The Michael Schenker Group - The Michael Schenker Group [7/10] Whitesnake - Ready an' Willing [6/10]

Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 2 [8/10] R.E.M. - New Adventures in Hi-Fi [8/10] AC/DC - Let There Be Rock [7/10] The Police - Outlandos d'Amour [8/10] Bon Jovi - New Jersey [3/10] Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album) [10/10]

I watched the documentary David Crosby: Remember My Name a while back and it was very informative and entertaining. I don't like everything David Crosby did and I don't agree with everything he said, but he did write and contribute to a lot damn fine music. Rest in peace.

Daryl Hall - Sacred Songs [10/10] R.E.M. - Monster [6/10]

Hey, Entre Perpetuo!!!! Under Pressure Fat Bottomed Girls Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...) Killer Queen Action This Day Stone Cold Crazy Now I'm Here The Millionaire Waltz Dragon Attack Brighton Rock

RUSH!!!! Subdivisions La Villa Strangiato Limelight Bravado Vital Signs Natural Science A Farewell to Kings Prime Mover Digital Man Beneath, Between & Behind

If a band like U2 wrote and recorded "Bravado" it would be considered a classic. One of the best songs ever.

A legend. RIP, Jeff Beck Time to listen to Blow by Blow...

Nick Lowe - Jesus of Cool [8/10]
