67: Them Crooked Vultures – Self Titled
Mar 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I know Them Crooked Vultures' self titled debut (2009) is new but I know an important album when I hear it. This album is very important. Now let's forget for a few minutes that I have a completely straight non-stalker middle-aged fan-boy man-crush on Dave Grohl. Let's also forget that if I had Queens of [...]
68: Mountain – Best of Mountain

Cover of The Best of Mountain Leslie West. Do I need to say more? The dude can play some guitar. Now I know Mountain is still around and I respect that. I'm also not even remotely suggesting they peaked in 1971 when The Best of Mountain (1971) was released. But "Mississippi Queen" and "Never In [...]
69: Kansas – Masque

Cover of Masque Yeah, I have a Kansas fan-boy deep inside me. Kansas' Masque (1975) is the album that introduced me to progressive rock. Masque is one special albums. I'd say it's probably one of favorite 100 albums of all time. Convenient huh? What's great about this album is it clearly showed the difference in [...]

Ah, nostalgia. You are such a siren calling us back to things we dismissed and then letting us destroy ourselves on the rocky shores. You make us remember Def Leppard fondly only to temp us to listen 20 years later and vomit. You make us remember the time White Lion opened for Aerosmith and think [...]

73: Heavy Metal Soundtrack

Some people have Eraserhead. Others have The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And I think a couple of people in Denmark like Gigli. However, my favorite cult movie is Heavy Metal. I'm taken back to a time when my grandmother would take me to the grocery store with her and I would stay in the magazine [...]

The Rock Renaissance Is In the Metal Scene
Mar 5, 2010 By 7 Comments
Every decade, some music journalist somewhere declares rock and roll dead and buried. This has been going on since the '60s. You know the spiel: corporatism, prima dona artists, greedy producers, the entire industry, take your pick, are all villains. Somehow rock and roll survives. I'm not a music expert. I'm a fan. I love [...]
