Who’s Next

There’s a point where a band stops being just a great band and starts becoming something bigger, and for The Who that point feels like Who’s Next. It doesn’t come across like a normal follow up album either. It feels…

In the City

This is my In the City by The Jam review, and honestly I’m not trying to over-complicate it. This is one of those debut albums where the band already sound like they know what they’re doing. It came out in…

Wheels of Fire

Wheels of Fire dropped in 1968 and it’s not just another classic album, it’s a weird turning point. It’s the third album by British Rock supergroup Cream, and it ended up being their biggest one, hitting No.1 in the US…

1916

Motörhead had already been around for well over a decade when 1916 came out, and by that point they had survived more problems than most bands ever do. The late 80s had slowed them down because of legal issues with…
