QUEEN...Live Killers<br />
Released: 35 years ago today, June 26, 1979<br />
Highest Chart Position: #16 U.S. Billboard Album Charts<br />
Track Highlights: We Are The Champions<br />
<br />
In 1979 Queen had become quite popular with several hit singles and albums, sold out concerts around the world, a flamboyant lead singer and a killer lead guitarist. Now, let me just say upfront that I am not the biggest Queen fan, even
though I do like them. This live album from 1979 does not help me,
either. First, the sound quality of the record I have always felt is not the greatest. I can't explain it, really, the sound on the record is just not "right". maybe it's my ears, I don't know, or could it be that I'm just not that thrilled by the album. I do recommend it if you like Queen. It has live energetic performances of all the favorite Queen hits recorded before this album was recorded and also many many others do love this album. We can't all have the same taste, that would be boring. I only give it a 1 out of 5 stars but you should check it out for yourself<br />

ROD STEWART...Canouflage<br />
Released: 30 years ago, June 18, 1984<br />
Highest Chart Position: #18 U.S. Billboard Album Charts<br />
Track Highlights: All Right Now, Infatuation, Some Guys Have All The Luck<br />
<br />
So many people feel like Rod Stewart hasn't put out a great album since 1977 but for me this album definitely proves that theory wrong. Sure, "Camouflage" doesn't have the gritty straight-ahead rock 'n' roll Stewart became famous for during the 70's but it still has some great moments on it, particularly the cover of the Free classic "All Right Now," which is given an excellent 80's feel with great vocals from Rod. "Bad For You" has some nice guitar work from Jeff Beck. The 2 singles, "Infatuation" and "Some Guys Have All The Luck" are good catchy pop tunes, and the final track, "Trouble' is a beautiful ballad. The Allmusic review is not flattering at all but I recommend it for sure. "Camouflage" is a good record<br />

<b>THE ALBUM OF THE DAY</b><br />
THE WHO...The Kids Are Alright soundtrack<br />
Released: 35 years ago, June 8, 1979<br />
Highest Chart Position: #8 U.S. Billboard Album Charts<br />
Track Highlights: all of them<br />
<br />
"The Kids Are Alright" soundtrack is one of the first things I ever heard by the Who. I saw the film which opened with a television appearance on the Smothers Brothers show in 1967 where the band did a killer version of "My Generation" and then they destroyed everything in sight. Tommy Smothers comes on stage and has this bewildered look on his face. I was then hooked and have been a fan ever since. This is a fantastic listen, full of energy and history as their drummer Keith Moon had died only 9 months prior to this release. A 4 out of 5 stars and highly recommended.<br />

<b>THE ALBUM OF THE DAY</b><br />
BOSTON...Walk On<br />
Released: 20 years ago, June 7, 1994<br />
Highest Chart Position: #7 U.S. Billboard Album Charts<br />
Track Highlights: I Need Your Love, Walk On medley<br />
<br />
While this album is very very good it cannot match the quality of Boston's first 3 albums ("Boston," "Don't Look Back" and "Third Stage). It is also very sad that it took Boston 18 years to release only 4 albums (and only 2 since "Walk On"). Nevertheless, long periods of time between albums is what Boston does. "Walk On" has that classic Boston sound to it but the songs just can't match it's three predecessors. I do recommend it as it is still a very good listen. A three out of five stars.<br />
