1978 Another good year for music.
1. The Cars - The Cars While I am a huge Styx fan, this was my favorite album of the year, a very fun listen
2. Styx - Pieces of Eight Another great album by the band
3. Blondie - Parallel Lines Teenage hormones really like Blondie and so did I
4. Toto - Toto Really liked the music, wasn’t crazy about the singers at the time, but still good
5. Journey- Infinity Very impressive vocals and guitar, a match for each other. Songs showed a big improvement.
6. Van Halen - Van Halen The singer was ok, the background singer knocked my socks off and the guitarist blew me away
7. Rainbow - Long Live Rock-n-Roll A very friendly D&D album
8. REO Speedwagon - You Can Tune A Piano But You Can’t Tuna Fish An album that matches the feel of their live album
9. Boston - Don’t Look Back In my top 10, Should have been named Boston the remake
10. Joe Walsh - But Seriously Folks Joe before he started sounding stoned all the time.
LIVE
1. Sammy Hagar - All Night Long Raw and full of fire, loved it.
2. Kansas - Two For The Show Just the opposite, but just as good
GREATEST HITS/BEST OF
1. Wings - Wings’ Greatest
Biggest Disappointment/ Over Hyped
1. Boston - Don’t Look Back This cd was a huge disappointment in terms of something new. Same set up as last album, songs sound just different just enough to get by to not be called a remake, but it is.
