Their most famous album and a typical rock band of the day offering big hair, tight pants and a fair bit of pouting! (1 more)

Rolling Stone's 309th greatest album of all time
Excellent album, including the superb anthemic Fortunate Son and a number of other songs in a similar vein. Great introduction to the band and a great example of 70s Southern rock.

Dave Marsh | 2015 | Biography
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"There have been many biographies about The Who but this one is almost as entertaining as the group it documents. Dave Marsh, who was a founding editor at Creem magazine and an editor at Rolling Stone, writes as an unashamed fan of the band. No other writer, with the exception of Richard Barnes, has ever really understood The Who the way Marsh did with this work. In Before I Get Old the author analyzes their roots in "Mod" culture to their development into "the first avant-garde rock band". As a biography it is valuable piece of rock-music history."

Rolling Stone's 226th greatest album of all time
More turgid cringeworthy rock from Springsteen. This album was recorded by him alone as demos but they decided to release the demos rather than the intended full band rock versions of the songs. This gives the album a folkier feel, and it does stand out from his other work, but it is still unmistakably him.

This unique novel is written like the transcript of a documentary about a rock band that disbands at the height of its fame and success. You can read my (effusive) review of this book here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/11/29/sunsetting-at-dawn/

Rolling Stone's 354th greatest album of all time
A good jazzy rock album by Billy Joel, including the hit My Life. I have to admit I was first aware of this song when it was re-interpreted as "Number 1" by the 90s rock band A. An enjoyable jazzy and piano based album, all quite upbeat. So far, no questions over his fire-starting behaviour.

Hit The Road | Trailer

Hit The Road is about the greatest family band you’ve never heard of — yet! This chaotically dysfunctional family of would-be rock/pop stars traverse the country in a cramped tour bus sacrificing privacy, comfort and dignity while in search of fame.
