‘Livin’ on the Fault Line’ was the Doobie Brothers’ lowest-selling Michael McDonald-era album. But it might just be the band’s best.

Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Steve Winwood and members of the Rolling Stones took part in ‘London Howlin’ Wolf Sessions,’ released 50 years ago this month.

The feel of the gold-selling U.S. Top 20 hit ‘Love Over Gold’ is like no other Dire Straits album.

‘Everything Must Go’ boasts a warmth missing from 1977’s ‘Aja,’ the album Steely Dan fans usually gush over, as well as 1980’s ‘Gaucho.’

Flawless by any standards, ‘Picture This’ simply foreshadowed the mega-success that Huey Lewis and the News would experience.

With ‘Something Happening,’ Paul Revere and the Raiders aimed to discard their image as colonial-war costumed clowns and finally be taken seriously.

Brian Johnson’s work with his pre-AC/DC band Geordie was in the heavy-duty vein of Deep Purple, Status Quo and Led Zeppelin.

The Little River Band’s definitive self-titled debut arrived 45 years ago this month, with “It’s a Long Way There” as its opening track.

Unlike many recordings back then, ‘Sur la mer’ doesn’t go overboard on smothering the Moody Blues’ natural talents in a blanket of gadgetry.

Black Country Communion’s self-titled debut arrived 10 years ago today as a thunderous reminder of the golden age of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and AC/DC.
