Classic Rock

Did you know that The Steve Miller Band is one of my guilty pleasures? You can imaging how happy I was that "BINGO!" did not disappoint. The choice of tracks is right on target and the sound is true to the spirit and legacy of their Chicago Blues core. Nicely done!

"the beatles don't need much explanation. you're most likely familiar with their music and if not, damn, i dunno what to say! this album is super special. the tracks have been remastered and seamlessly move about until suddenly the albums over before you know it. you will be pressing play again!"

"It's a game, a history lesson, a rock concert and a music studio all wrapped up into one marvelous package. And even if your gift recipient is only ever a legend in his or her own mind, that is a wonderful place to begin . . . and an even better gift to give."

"Cool pocket-sized amps in different flavors (Lead, Bass, VOX AC30, Classic Rock, and Metal) !! YAY! Yeah sure I could clip on a iphone or some other digital device, but there's something very right about plunging into a VOX! for serious low volume fun. And yes I do understand that other pug-ons from Korg and so on have more features (like drums and recording), still for now I'm romanticizing th..."

Tonight :Franz Ferdinand

"I've never been a glowing fan of Franz Ferdinand. I like, but just whatever. However, I have a floating policy to listen albums that get a 7 plus on pitchfork. This one pulled in at a 7.3. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm listening to some track on MySpace right now and I'm pleasantly grooving to them."

River of Dreams: Billy Joel

1 recommendation

"This, the 12th album from Billy Joel -- Released in '93 is something that will always hold a dear place in my heart. Why? Because the title track is probably my favorite song ever. I'm not saying it's my favorite song now (or ever will be again). I'm just saying that when I was a kid, I was unequivocally obsessed with it and I don't think I'll ever like a song as much as I did at that time."

"If we could magically remove "All You Wanna do is Dance" from this album, it'd wasily be my favoire Billy Joel. For now, I'll just stick to recomending and saying, enjoy."

Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit

"This is a great classic rock song. And might I add a complete and utter stoner song to say the least. And it's about chess....yeah. Don't try to make sense of it unless you've eaten a handful of mushrooms or have acid tabs stuck on your sweaty forehead. (Don't do that)"

Harvest Moon by Neil Young

1 recommendation

"Harvest Moon was released in 1992 and is full of acoustic-folk whimsy. Neil Young hits the mark with this album. Harvest is his best-known album, with perhaps his best song "The Needle and the Damage Done", but this sequel to Harvest is a robust collection that shares a universal message and is incredibly listenable for almost any audience. There isn't a single track to skip on this album. Fo..."

Who Are You: The Who

1 recommendation

"The last album with Keith Moon shows him sitting on a cair saying "Not to be taken away" If only that were true. It's an uneven album, but "Had Enough" and "Who Are You" are still among the best that they've ever written."

My Generation: Who

1 recommendation

"A re-issue of the debut album from one of the biggest British rock bands. Has the catchy (and stuttery) title track, along with "The Kids Are Alright" (title of the later documentary by the same name), and the infectious "I Can't Explain"."

People Also Love:

The Who by Numbers: The Who

1 recommendation

"After releasing Who's Next and Quardophenia, there's just no way to really keep that momentum going. Instead, the song writing turned more introspective, as can be seen in "How Many Friends", a great song about feeling lonely even when you have lots of people around you. There still was "Squeezebox", which was a crowd pleaser and strong single, and more in the traditional Who vein."

People Also Love:

Endless Wire: The Who

1 recommendation

"Endless Wire is the latest Who release, with just the two remaining members of te band, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltry. True, this is not the Who of old, but ther are still some good songs to be had. "Mike Post Theme" is catchy, even if we're talking about the guy who wrote the Hill Street Blues theme, and "Black Widow's Eyes" is well done too, with darker overtones. "It's Not Enough" and "We ..."

It's Hard: The Who

1 recommendation

"The last Who album with John Entwistle. It's definitely not my favorite Who album, as it has neither the charm of being absolutely strange like their earlier albums, or quite as aggressive as the albums from their prime, but there are still good moments to be had. Specifically, "Eminence Front" is a great song with a drive to it and some downright funky synths."

Face Dances: The Who

1 recommendation

"The first Who album post-Moon, it's not an entirely solid affair. Overall, the record has some good tracks, but the band is starting to wane. "You Better You Bet" is still a great song though, but even in it's lyrics, you begin to see how age is affecting the men who once sang "I hope I die before I get old""

Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy: The Who

1 recommendation

"About as crazy an album as the title implies. Contains the album version of "The Kids Are Alright", along with some other original songs, as well as some re-issues. "Substitute" is a great track off this album, as is "The Seeker", "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere", "Magic Bus" and "I'm a Boy" (many of which were released as singles but only collected here)."

Then and Now: 1964-2004: The Who

1 recommendation

"There have been countless "Best Of"s for the Who, but I think this one is worth the money. It's got a balanced track-list, but also contains two new songs: "Real Good Looking Boy" revolves around the theme of "Only Fools Rush In" and is a touching ballad, and "Old Red Wine" the weaker of the two, but a memorial to John Entwistle who had recently passed away."

People Also Love:

The Kids Are Alright: The Who

1 recommendation

"Great soundtrack from a great film. Captures a ton of terrific Who songs while they were at their peak. Includes a litany of classic Who songs, and a few rare tracks as well. Also documents Keith Moon's last public performance before his death in 1978."

People Also Love:

Odds & Sods: The Who

1 recommendation

"Many of these songs can be found elsewhere, as it's a compilation record made prior to the release of the Tommy movie. There are a few tunes though that had been bootlegged widely, yet not formally released, like my personal favorite "Long Live Rock". Great intro to earlier Who stuff as well."

Live at Leeds: The Who

1 recommendation

"One of the greatest live recordings of all time. It captures the Who at their peak, with guitars a-blazing and full of aggression and energy. This was when they were known for their ear-splitting concerts and wrecking guitars. It's worth getting the deluxe edition, which provides an almost complete performance of Tommy on the second disc."

The Who Sell Out: The Who

1 recommendation

"Fun earlier Who album. They decided to intersperse radio commercials with their songs (hence the strange cover photo-shoot, from which Roger Daltry got a cold from sitting in those bakes beans for too long). Includes classic songs "Marry Anne With the Shaky Hands", and "I Can See For Miles". Definitely an interesting concept album, with some really great rock and pop songs."

Tommy: The Who

2 recommendations

"The original rock opera. This album showcases Pete Townshend's ability as not only an amazing songwriter, but a conceptual visionary. It is worth noting that there are some dark themes running through the music and that some people find it disturbing. Personally, I don't think it's their best album ever, but it's very strong with some great songs and it still stands the test of time well. "Am..."

Quadrophenia: The Who

2 recommendations

"My personal favorite of the rock-operas. It swings from agressive guitars in songs like "The Real Me" and "The Punk and the Godfather" to calm beauty in "Love, Reign O'er Me" and "I'm One" through catchy, crazy, driven songs like "5:15", full of pulsing bass lines and R&B rhythms. Half of these songs are all-time favorite Who songs for me. Definitely a desert island disc."

Who's Next: The Who

"*The* classic british rock album. The big hits are all here, "Baba O'Riley" (better known as that "Teenage Wasteland" song), "Behind Blue Eyes", and "Won't Get Fooled Again", but every song on the album is great rock and roll. "Going Mobile" predicts cell phones and the internet in a way that would be unimaginable to most people in the 70s. "Bargain" is also a great, with aggressive guitars and..."

Dark Side Of The Moon: Pink Floyd: Music

2 recommendations

"Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything; the songs are mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture and mood. The sound effects on songs like "On the Run," "Time" and especially..."
