Rocks

May 3, 1976 ~ The Toxic Twins are back in the saddle with the album Rolling Stone put at #366 on their list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." This one is often called out as a major influence on many rockers that followed including Guns N' Roses and Metallica. All I know is when I heard the yodel it was all over ... #aerosmith #rocks #70srock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #classicrock #hardrock #toxictwins #stevetyler #joeperry #tomhamilton…

One of the ways I cope with the current state of bullshit in the world is to just fuckin rock; love the crackle and pop on this as the needle makes contact with the vinyl.

Deceptive Bends

10cc release their fifth album on May 1, 1977 .. their first after founders Kevin Godley and Lol Creme left. It produced the hit The Things We Do For Love. Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman and Paul Burgess were just fine from this album on ... not the "5cc" as the Brit Press was calling the Godley and Creme departure. #10cc #deceptivebends #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock #rockmusic #progressivepop #poprock #artpop

CTA

April 28, 1969 ~ Chicago Transit Authority releases their debut album. It's a double album from the unheard of Chicago jazz-rock fusion group -- unheard of at the time. While people didn't take notice right away, the album garnered a lot of progressive radio and college radio play. Once talk about CTA spread, the actual "Chicago Transit Authority" threatened legal action -- hence the name change to simply "Chicago." #chicago #chicagotransitauthority #70srock…

Argus

April 28, 1972. Andy Powell and Ted Turner's twin lead guitars.  Life was never the same again. That "prog folk-rock" sound and the blending of medieval lyrics combined with those twin lead guitars still make a head swim. #wishboneash #argus #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #andypowell #folkrock #hardrock #progreock #tedturner

Ain’t nothin’ but a house party
