Sleeper Debut Lps...70s classic rock


REO Speedwagon-Yes folks, there was an REO long before Kevin C. turned them into an arena, bubblegum hit machine...and this debut full of boogie rock goodness reflects that....if your vision of REO is corny power ballads...throw on "Sohpisticated Lady" and get down!

Black Oak Arkansas-Jim Dandy is an acquired taste...but on this release...his scratchy, hillbilly yelp is just right...greasy, naughty, and a bit weird in a Southern Bapist preacher way...this will clear a party...or start one....

Blue Oyster Cult...A long overlooked gem...as is Tyranny(2nd LP)...the tough, muscular, boogie machine of B.O.C. hits the head on this release...at times almost psychedelic...most times just darn mean...

Agree with captain Winters on Pink Moon. I have the LP that came out after the set. It really gets it right. Now for the nitpick- it's his third album. Still agree it should be mentioned here. He had so few records in his short. I think he passed away at 26, and not the cursed 27 like so many other great ones. Cheers -Don
