Love It To Death - Alice Cooper

Alice and friends discovered the power of the rock anthem with this album. The record that really opened my eyes to Rock Music.

20 Golden Greats - Beach Boys
Fun, Fun, Fun......everything I love about music in 2minutes 55seconds

Abbey Road - The Beatles
All been said before. We miss you George.

Fresh Raspberries - The Raspberries
Great pop record ..... first pop record I ever owned.

Finian's Rainbow - Original Soundtrack
Picture this....a musical made about 10 years after Hollywood Musicals went out of fashion....starring Fred Astaire, Petula Clark, and Tommy Steele; directed by Francis Ford Coppola, his first commercial venture; and also the first "real" movie George Lucas ever worked on. An all singing and dancing extravaganza about leprechauns and racism?????? Catchy Tunes though.

The Carpenters - Now And Then
The first love of my life was Karen Carpenter, as she sang me to sleep most nights....this is were my love of melody and harmony come from.
Listen to the multi layered harmonies and fuzzed out guitar outro on "Goodbye To Love". Ive been trying to rewrite this song since I was 10 years old. Stunning
