'Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head'
B.J.Thomas
Side 1 'Little Green Apples' Title song 'This Guys In Love With You'
Pop Rock
Call me sentimental. You gotta love these songs as they are the kind of standards that are easy to sing to if you are into that...you'll almost always catch me singing in the car...not the shower.
'Pendulum'
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Side 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain'
Country Rock
Great CCR! Is there anything bad?
'Hysteria'
Def Leppard
Side One 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'
Hard Rock
This album is PROOF I will listen to ANYTHING! Thank goodness its finally over. Someone actually laid down $10 for this album. Thats all I have to say about this album except to say a small part of me likes some 80's music even though I view the 80's as a less than stellar decade in music history. Disagree with me if you will but first please tell me three bands that were a product of the '80's still being played regularly on radio today. Ok, I rest my case.
'Face Dances'
The Who
Side Two 'How Can You Do It Alone' 'Another Trcky Day'
Rock
This is The Who's first full new album with drummer Kenney Jones as a replacement for Keith Moon. Many of the classics we here everyday. I ma pretty excited that they are doing the Superbowl. I just hope its about the music.
'The Romantics'
Side Two 'What I Like About You'
Rock
Ok, I commited a bit of a 'faux pas' when I dissed 80's music because The Romantics are definately played today so I am sure there are a few others...maybe. This album makes you want to dance for sure! I don't think Lady Gaga is so original now after seeing these guys on the cover all donned in red leather suits.
Let's bring it down a notch...
'Here and Now'
George Shearing
Side One 'Dear Heart'
Musac
Wow! That was down a few too many notches...perpetual elevator music. I can appreciate the strings and xylophone though.
'George Harrison'
Side Two 'If You Beleive'
Rock
My favorite of all of the beatles, I feel under-rated, George Harrison's solo career stuff from the Dark Horse label before his days with The Traveling Wilburys. 'Faster' starts off this side with engines reving at the start of the album.
'Zebop'
Santana
Side One 'Primera Invasion' 'Over and Over' 'Winning'
Latin Rock
This is classic Santana sound with some great upbeat latin sound! I was tempted to listen to both sides but I had to get something done today besides listening to music. I used to be such a music nubian I didn't even know the song 'Winning' was Santana.
'Wild Tales'
Graham Nash
Side II 'Another Sleep Song'
Folk Rock
Its alwasy nice to listen to the artist solos stuff. I found 'Wild Tales', made on hiatus from CSN&y refreshing and clean. I liked the soft tones and Nash' style but can clearly see why the three part harmonies of CS&N was more successful over that of the bands individual solos careers.
'Anthology'
Hary Chapin
Side Two 'Circle' 'I wanna Learn a Love Song'
Folk Rock
He died way before we were done learning from him with his somber ballads of truth. One of my favorite alltime Chapin songs is 'Circle'. The other side of this album is loaded with some of his other hits including 'Cat's in the Craddle'.
I will save some of those teasers I mentioned for another day.
Footnote: Must search out some Funkadelic and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes when I go to Amoeba Records next week!
