Well I stopped subscribing to Classic Rock probably about 18 months ago but I've just picked up the Christmas edition just to have a look at the 50 albums of the year.
Now normally I find I've only purchased two maybe three of their top tips but this year I got a whole five!
No. 44 Alabama Shakes - Boys & Girls (reviewed on this blog in May)
No. 42 Killing Joke - MMXXII
No. 35 Crippled Black Phoenix - (Mankind) the Crafty Ape
No. 30 Marillion - Sounds That Can't Be Made (reviewed on this blog in October)
No. 10 Lynyrd Skynyrd - Last Of A Dying Breed (reviewed on this blog in December)
Out of the five, the Skynyrd album is the one I rate least but I'm guessing it's high placing has a lot to do with the fact that Classic Rock released it as a fan pack.... Cynical or not ???
(Still can't believe I forgot to review the Killing Joke and Crippled Black Phoenix albums...)
I have also acquired this edition. I must check the Top 50 etc
ReplyDeletethink Marillion definitely shouldn't be pitched at #30 but then I guess that's why I read PROG !!
