A stretched out cover of Sly's "Everyday People" will soothe the most excitable. DJ Logic joins in on three tracks to stretch the beats and melodies like taffy, as well as timestamp the proceedings. 2/2

Hmmm ... for various reasons, not necessarily because they're the 'best.'

- Jim Croce - Photographs and Memories
- The Police - Synchronicity
- Miles Davis -Relaxin' w the Miles Davis Quintet
- Vladimir Horowitz - Horowitz plays Mozart
- Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out

Not legendary like their debut, but only the Femmes could pull off this earnest, quirky, eclectic set in the mid-80s. 2/2

Pete Townshend's use of the ARP synthesizer was a revelation on the epics "Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." 2/3

... easily could cut three songs, and I would be happy never hearing the two biggest hits ever again. And I am utterly fascinated by it from time to time.

No doubt. I wrote a bunch more on the Insta page post. I love the earlier stuff, but there's a delightful amateurishness to the engineering. Rift is reined in and focused. It's Rift, Ghost, Billy Breathes, and frankly Sigma Oasis creeping up my rankings.

...which gives way to synth accented 80's apocalyptic warnings, giving way back to power trio basics.

Rush were a unique and insanely talented trio, unapologetically forging a path that other bands are still catching up with. I should dive into more of their work. 3/3

From the riff/jam heavy opening tracks with original drummer John Rutsey, to the immediate infusion of fresh ideas on Fly By Night with god-tier Neil Peart, Rush never stop digging for new ways to deliver. Prog rock like 2112 gives way to AOR forever hits like Tom Sawyer and Spirit of Radio... 2/3

Taken from sessions in 1957 and 1958, these tracks are melodic and welcoming. They're not the pinnacle of Coltrane, but worth another listen for sure. 2/2

A Maxwell XL-II of this album was constantly in rotation in my old car when it dropped my senior year of high school. Finally replaced it a few years back. 2/2
