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 …

Alphaville This is an excellent record – from A Victory of Love through The Jet Set every song is a winner. Totally unique sounding new wave record. 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 …

The Alan Parsons Project There was a time when I had quite a few Alan Parsons albums. Turn of a Friendly Card, Pyramid, Eye In The Sky, Greatest Hits. I Robot seems to be the only one that remains. Must be Gremlins. APP is a bit hit and miss for me. Some of it is …
