#188 Deep Purple – Deep Purple in Rock

I have definitely never heard any of Deep Purple in Rock. I would venture to say I have never heard any of Deep Purple‘s music. As I have stated previously, I was never a real rocker. My taste in rock music came from my mother’s choices and a few rocker friends. It seems the trend in the book […]

#187 Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin III

This is Led Zeppelin‘s third album and third on the list. The odds are in their favour. Will this be as good as the previous two albums? How can a band make three albums in three years and be great? Artist today take three or more years between albums. Led Zeppelin III kicks butt in the […]

#186 Neil Young – After The Gold Rush

Neil Young‘s After The Gold Rush comes on the heels of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s album Déjà Vu. I think Young saved all the great songs for his solo album and gave the group only one good song. Young has already proven himself a gifted songwriter and musician. Critics have changed their opinions over […]

#185 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Déjà Vu

I could skip this album and write a review for it and nobody would know any difference. I do not like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a band. Déjà Vu is the first album to feature Neil Young. Mostly, I think David Crosby is a terrible singer and I have not liked anything about him as […]

#184 John Lennon – John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon was the one Beatle that I hated. I could not stand his voice and his philosophy that he preached. I do not like people who think they do not believe in God so they are better than those who do and vice versa. This is the problem today. We all have different beliefs […]

#183 Stephen Stills

Stephen Stills has been part of a few bands since his career began in 1962. He released his self-titled debut album in 1970. His most popular band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young broke up in 1970, released an album and each member created a solo album and released it shortly after. Overkill. Unfortunately, this book […]

#182 Carpenters – Close to You

The Carpenters is one of those 70s acts that most people were embarrassed to admit that they liked at the time, but years later it became cool to say you did. I grew up hearing them so I did not care what others thought. I listened to a range of music and could appreciate them […]

#181 The Doors – Morrison Hotel

Morrison Hotel is the second album from The Doors on the list, but their fifth album in their discography. I am surprised that they only have two albums since they were so popular. There were some things that worked against them during this time. The previous album The Soft Parade was a step into more popular music, which the […]

#179 & #180 Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath & Paranoid

Black Sabbath is a band that I have heard of, but I have never heard their music. I only know of their lead singer Ozzy Osbourne because he is married to Sharon Osbourne from the X Factor UK and I have heard of him biting a bat’s head off. That did not entice me to listen to his […]

#178 Spirit – Twelve Dreams of Doctor Sardonicus

Twelve Dreams of Doctor Sardonicus is an album from Spirit. I have never heard of this band. This is psychedelic music and I have learned that I am not a huge fan of it at this point in history. This album is sort of generic for me. I had to keep starting it over because […]
