My Favorite Albums Ever..

I always wanted to be a music critic or reviewer. I had a knack of picking out artists and songs that were destined to make history. However putting together a great album is a lost art. Nowadays people don't think in terms of "albums". They are able to go to Itunes or Rhapsody and just download a single song. The bad thing is, they don't even have to listen to it in real time, they can download it at megabit speed.

In my day (old fart) we had to listen to the whole cassette or 8 track tape to get to the song(s) we liked. It was a blessing in disguise as we would grow fond of songs that may have never gotten airplay. So then when we were burnt out on the "hit", we still had the rest of the album to enjoy.

Anyway, I have put together my favorite albums of all time, in no particular order:

• NRBQ - Grooves in Orbit
• Aerosmith - Rocks
• McCartney - McCartney
• The Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music
• Ian Dury - New Boots and Panties!!

• Neil Young - Comes a Time
• Bread - Guitar Man
• Slobberbone - Everything You Thought Was Right Was Wrong Today
• Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily
• Nicolette Larson - Say When (she passed away and I don't think this made it to CD)
• Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
