The Classic Vinyl Record

As a keyboard player, I love Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Keith Emerson is a phenomenal pianist and composer, and it shows on this album, Brain Salad Surgery. Also check out my post on ELP’s first album, Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Yes, the title is a little different, but don’t let it scare you. It is [...]

I’m sure that most people have never heard of Spike Jones. My parents have, and others who are above the age of, I don’t know, say 55, might know who that is. Spike Jones was the original Weird Al Yankovic. There are many collections of songs out there, this is one of them. Thank you [...]

Atom Heart Mother is, well, I was going to say one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums, but I can’t say that. I love Pink Floyd, and to say that this is my favorite, I just can’t do that. All of their albums have something that makes them great. However, this is one of my [...]

Journey is one of those great 80′s rock bands that people either love or hate. Personally, I love Journey, otherwise I wouldn’t have their album. You can buy this album at Musicstack. I have also recently posted about Journey – Frontiers album. This was actually referred to as the worst number 1 album ever by [...]

All right, time for some rock. Nobody rocks like Van Halen, even Van Halen (Hagar era) can’t touch them. Sorry to those Sammy Hagar fans out there. I like his stuff, but it just doesn’t do it for me like Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Released in 1978, this album has made it past [...]

When I was at the record shop the other day, I saw a great classic album that I immediately picked up. Cream – Disraeli Gears on 180 gram virgin vinyl. Sweet! It was brand new, unopened on 180 gram vinyl! I was surprised to see it their, as the owner didn’t have a lot of [...]

Here is one that not a lot of people will have. Leviticus is Christian metal from the eighties. There is another band out there called Leviticus, also metal, but they have a much different set of lyrics. I know, there are a lot of people out there who think that Christian music sucks, and well, [...]

This is one of my first posts to show the real extent of my collection and musical tastes. I love metal. I love rock. I love just about everything. Except rap (I can listen to old school) and country. Sorry. As a musician myself, I love listening big band and jazz music, and nobody does [...]

I love the Blues Brothers. I think that it is one of the greatest movies, especially musical movies ever. Most everyone knows that John Belushi and Dan Akroyd started the Blues Brothers on Saturday Night Live. You can find this and more Blues Brothers at Musicstack. Ye, if you look closely, you’ll see that the [...]

I have this album. Well, the original at least. It has been played a lot. A whole lot. So you can imagine that the sound quality has been degraded over the years. I’d love to have this new one by U2. I thought that I should talk about The Joshua Tree since it will be [...]
