Ambrosia - Ambrosia.  Debut album helped by Alan Parsons genius.  Nice nice very nice.  

Great selections.  I have multiple versions of Brothers in Arms including the SACD.  Streaming the 40th anniversary edition and it sounds great as always with a bonus concert recording from their 85 tour for the album.  I just put together a Dire Straits playlist.  It’s almost all of their studio and live albums.  13 hours long.  All good.  
RIP Rick Derringer.

Some good comments here. Happy to see many into classic rock. I like some of the grunge metal stuff too but for me the crux of it is the 60's + 70's stuff  Fortunately most of it nowadays has been cd 24 bit remastered and many SACD also. Some of the hybrid discs aren't quite up to par but the original single layer SACD's are all perfect. Investing in a real good player is definitely worthwhile. Dark side of the moon , brother's in arms , cheap thrills , blind faith , wheels of fire just to name a few

greetings & kind regards

re/ guitarists please permit me to mention the late Terry Kath of Chicago. it is my understanding his work is well regarded by those who know more of such things than myself . some have even compared him to Jimmy Hendrix .

kind regards

Chicago (early) all day long baby Likewise Boogie Woogie as well .

The Who - in honor of Pete Townshend’s 80th birthday.  More common with classic rockers that have made it this far.  Robin Trower 80 this year.  Seeing him finally next month but passing on the latest Who retirement tour.  I’ve been going since they started retiring in 1980.  I might if it was somewhere other than Fenway Park.  Worst place for a concert.  So many obstructed view seats and seats that face the wrong way.  Terrible acoustics and the facilities are a joke.  To top it off the parking is expensive and you can’t tailgate.  Oh well, glad I saw them one last time in Quebec and happy birthday Pete!
