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...

REO "One" was the first ever "rock" record that I ever heard. My big brother turned me onto them.

I have a carved wooden sign above the door leading into my record room that says: 157 Riverside Avenue

Excellent debut album!!!

I'll also add to your list:

Trooper-Trooper

Prism-Prism

Montrose-Montrose

Dayglow..."Flat As A Pancake" is one of my favorite albums. Definitely on my top 10 list! I need to go put that on right now. Actually almost every song on that album is a keeper. Thanks for the reminder.
