My playlist for 1980 only features one true debut, and that is by Loverboy. There was a debut of a new singer for an established band. That would be Black Sabbath, who released their first album with Ronnie James Dio. I didn’t know this way back in 1980. I have just recently developed an interest in this era of Sabbath. Of course, my favorite band Kiss released yet another classic called Unmasked (just kidding about the classic part). I remember listening to REO’s “Hi Infidelity” about a million… Continue

1978 was a great year for me. If you've read any of my previous posts, you probably know that Kiss is my favorite band. Kiss released 4 albums in 1978, sort of. Each member released a solo album at the same time.

Bob Seger released Stranger In Town, w… Continue

Tragedy struck in 1977. We lost several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in a plane crash only 3 days after the release of Street Survivors.

Alive II had a 5 studio songs, and I included one of those (Rocket Ride) on this playlist. Meatloaf released Bat Out Of Hell, which is one of my all-time favorite albums. Fle… Continue

1976 is definitely my favorite year of the 70's so far. I think it was great that at one time bands sometimes put out 2 albums in one year. 1976 was no different. Kiss released what many feel is their best album in Destroyer, and followed up the same year with Rock And Roll Over (possibly my favorite). Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band put out a live album and a studio album. Nazareth actually trumped everyone by putting out 2 studio albums and a greatest hits collection. Kansas released Left… Continue
