Listening to this album 53 years later on, does it live up to the hype? Has it stood the ravages of time? Is a Dalmatian a beautiful dog? Of course it has; the brilliance of diamonds does not dim over a few years.
What a glorious band. Formed out of the ashes of ‘The Small Faces’ and ‘The Jeff Beck Band,’ nobody could have predicted the influence this lovable bunch of rogues would have on rock ‘n’ roll history.
“Warrior On The Edge Of Time” is Hawkwind’s sixth album. With bandleader Dave Brock at the very height of his creative abilities, the album roared into the British charts reaching No. 13 and remained in the charts for three months.
Mick Fleetwood pulled together one of the biggest A lists of superstars in rock music at the London Palladium on February 25th, 2020, to celebrate the music and life of Peter Green.
“The House On The Hill” was probably Audience’s most celebrated album and their first collaboration with the very famous and trendy Gus Dudgeon (who came to fame with his work for Elton John) as producer.
When this album was released in 1969, it was to change the whole face of rock music as it was then known. “In the Court of the Crimson King” by King Crimson almost single-handedly invented what was to become known as Progressive Rock, and with first track ’21st Century Schizoid Man’ had a fair hand at putting heavy metal music on the map.
After early success with a one-off single, Whisky in the Jar in 1972, things had reached a nadir during a tour of Germany in early 1974. The fabulous “Live and Dangerous” album captures the hard rockin’, hard livin’ Thin Lizzy at the pinnacle of their powers.
A landmark album in the world of rock. At all times the musicianship and songwriting are faultless, with Elton putting every ounce of emotion into Bernie Taupin’s lyrics.
