Aunt Jemima & Uncle Ben's are changing names too. NOOOOO!!  Trump is fighting Bolton's book with every last one of our tax dollars. Frankly, I'd rather have the book. It's something tangible. Can Mrs. Buttleworth be far behind? GO DODGERS!!! |

MTV Classic showing videos from the Metal Mayhem (aka Big Hair) era tonight. Just saw “Is This Love” by Whitesnake. Was there anyone hotter than Tawny Kitaen in their videos? You know Coverdale was nailing her on a daily basis.
GO DODGERS!!!

www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/100-best-rock-albums-of-all-time-according-to-critics/ss-BB19cOrV?ocid=msedgntp100 best rock albums of all time, according to critics Joni Sweet 4 hrs ago Driven by the success of the Byrds and the Beatles, the mid-1960s saw rock-and-roll evolve from mere dance music for youth to a bona fide form of art, according to Simon C. W. Reynolds, author of “Blissed Out: The Raptures of Rock.” The development of the genre not only helped it to be taken more seriously by music fans—it created the opportunity for critics to share their opinions on albums with the world. Enter the birth of rock criticism. Magazines like Crawdaddy! and Rolling Stone elevated rock singers to the status of “seers and sages” who capture the zeitgeist in their lyrics and melodies. Life’s too short to spend time listening to bad music, and rock critics help listeners discover the best of the best. They act as gatekeepers, influencing what gets played on the radio (and nowadays, downloaded from streaming services), while simultaneously solidifying a musician’s “place in music history,” writes Kembrew McLeod in “One and a Half Stars: A Critique of Rock Criticism in North America.” And while critics might not always agree about a particular album, their aggregated reviews can give you a pretty good sense of the cream of the crop when it comes to music. It’s an ideal place to start if you’re looking for, say, fantastic rock albums from the last half-century. Stacker did just that when we compiled data from Metacritic on the best rock albums of all time, ranked by Metascore. Only albums with seven or more reviews were eligible. EPs, box sets, and compilations were not considered. Due to the availability of music review data, the list is skewed toward but not limited to the last three decades. Stacker also looked at reviews and musician interviews from Rolling Stone, Spin, Drowned in Sound, Pitchfork, The Guardian, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The A.V. Club, PopMatters, and Now Toronto to learn more about the albums. Did your favorite album make the cut? Click through to see the 100 best rock albums of all time, according to the critics.

Took me all the way to the Top 15 or so before I found one I owned. The 85 prior I didn’t recognize 90% of the artists, let alone have any of their works in my fairly extensive (1,000 +) collection of CD’s, cassettes (yes - most of them SUCK extensively in quality, but I just can’t bring myself to tossing any of them - too much 70’s & 80’s nostalgia there!) and LP’s (see previous parentheses). Achtung Baby by U2 was the first I owned. Then all of the Led Zeppelin and both Stones albums. Never a huge Hendrix fan - don’t believe I have anything of his in the collection. GO DODGERS!!! |

This seemed like a millennial collection put together by a millennial. No Eagles? No Chicago? No White Album? I've noticed Zeppelin gaining in popularity among millennials. Even black kids wearing Zeppelin t-shirts. Reminds me of when I was in my 30's & suddenly the cool people were listening to Tony Bennett in cigar bars, while smoking stogies. |

I have EVERY Chicago LP album up thru 18 or 19. Same with the Eagles. Have seen both bands going back to their original members dozens of times. First Eagles show was at a local drag strip that the Hell’s Angels was having a rally at. Chicago was the first group I ever saw live - 1977 - caught a drum stick thrown by Danny Seraphine - got him to sign it a couple of years later at a show at University of Cincinnati Shoemaker Center. Criminal that neither of these groups had any of their masterpieces even considered for the Top 100, yet there were 60 or 70 “artists” included that I as a nearing 60 geezer had never even heard of. SAD!!! GO DODGERS!!! |
