Loggins and Messina Loggins and Messina’s Sittin’ In album is one of maybe four albums I can recall that my parents used to listen to a lot in the early/mid 1970s and as a result are some of my earliest musical memories. Before albums like Dire Straits and Billy Joel’s The Stranger and 52nd Street …

Genesis – We Can’t Dance “Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world” All right moving on to Genesis’ fourteenth studio album which was the last one with Phil Collins and my 17th album review post. I’m gonna try to keep this one under 3000 words. That being said I never imagined I could …

Little Feat Sometimes I find I know almost everything about a band whether I like them or not. Other times I may find myself knowing about only an album or two by a band. And other times I find I know almost nothing about a musician or a band and I KNOW I really should …

America At the time I think America were unfairly treated as a bit slight by the music press. Most bands would kill to have a hit single as big as any one of the ones on this album. And there are a lot of them, all of which are great. Some were even mistaken for …

The vocalist Marian Gold has an interesting voice with a huge range going from low tenor to high falsetto sometimes within a single sentence. It is one of …

Huey Lewis And The News There are a few bands from the 80s that I view differently in hindsight than I did at the time. Like Hall And Oates I never really paid much attention to. They were fine at the time but now in hindsight I find I have a much better appreciation for. …

Len What’s the deal with Len?Well they are one of Canada’s most well known One Hit Wonders with their infectiously catchy single Steal My Sunshine from 1999’s You Can’t Stop The Bum Rush album. At the heart of it the band is/was siblings Sharon and Marc Costanzo. In 1994 they released an album called Superstar …

Led Zeppelin No one asked but here are 3000 words on Led Zeppelin. This is a big one. I hope I don’t fuck it up as much as they fucked up their Live Aid performance. First off if you don’t know who Led Zeppelin are, you are definitely lost and probably on the wrong page …

Klaatu A bit of a famous (not infamous) Canadian band named after the robot in the fantastic movie The Day The Earth Stood Still. I say infamous as they were wrapped up in the second biggest Beatles conspiracy theory after the Paul Is Dead rumours. The Klaatu rumour was started by a US journalist who …
