Atomic Rooster – Death Walks Behind You
Just the name alone conjures up thoughts of demonic early seventies heavy metal, progressive rock. Atomic Rooster came out with a couple of very powerful early seventies albums. They sounded great.
Ian Hunter – Rant, 2001
It’s always a happy thing when one of your favorite artists returns from a lengthy absence. What’s even happier is when he comes storming back with the sort of record that makes you realize why you held him in such high esteem in the first place. Rant is such an album.
The Beatles – White Album
Better known as “The White Album,” this is undoubtedly The Beatles most mature and diverse album. Clocking in at ninety minutes, every track is a gem.
The Black Crowes – Lions
Lions are kings of the jungle; how very apt. A great Rock ‘n’ Roll record.
Steppenwolf – Live
Definitely one of the finest of many good live albums from the early seventies, catching the live beast that was Steppenwolf at the peak of their undoubted powers.
Hawkwind – Electric Tepee
Back in 1992, Hawkwind released ‘Electric Tepee,’ a sensational album of space rock combining intergalactic orbital rockers with huge chunks of Hawk dreamscapes that whisk you off on a sonic journey, clocking in at one hour and fifteen minutes.
The Clash – London Calling
Busting at the seams with creative energy, The Clash’s stunning 1979 double album, “London Calling,” digitally remastered from the original production tapes, puts both vinyl albums on one CD.
Harvey Bainbridge – Interstellar Chaos
‘Interstellar Chaos’ is a series of trips to outer space through the mind of Harvey Bainbridge. All the music is played by the man himself. Each one whisking you away to different parts of the stratosphere.
Led Zeppelin – How The West Was Won
This is the rock album release of 2003 by a country mile. This collection of songs stands head and shoulders above anything else during that twelve months.
Yes – Fragile
There are a lot of positives to this record, Yes’s fourth album, “Fragile” (1971). After all, it went double Platinum on the American Billboard and included Yes’s greatest-ever track ‘Roundabout.’ Also in truncated version, it was released as a single and made the top twenty.
