I'm not sure if lurkers are allowed to participate but if I had to guess, I'd say Faith No More - Angel Dust or Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction.

I'll be really surprised if anyone is really familiar with these guys….




#10     Black Lab -  Your Body Above Me

October 21, 1997



I worked for 10 years on Oil Tankers as a Merchant Marine in the 90's before transferring shoreside to one of our refineries.  While on the ships a gal I sailed with let me borrow a copy of this CD.  I had never heard of them, but she knew kinda what I was into at the time.  Bands like Live, Dishwalla, Bush, etc...  At first listen I really enjoyed it.  After weeks of listening, I couldn't stop.   It was one of those albums that was the perfect storm of music, vocals, writing and style for me.  This..."style" or sub-genre really was a small chapter in my musical life.  Yet, it left a huge impact and has withstood the test of time.   If you've never heard this album.. throw on some headphones and crank up the bass.  The bass lines are just so solid!  As is all the musicianship on this album.  I rate albums sometimes with "Flow" in mind.  The flow of this album works so well for me.  Is it the most musically complex album?  Not even close.  But sometimes it's just about the joy a song or album brings.  The band broke up in '99.  I heard they reformed a year or so later and did another album.  I never looked into that album...but maybe the time is now.  I believe that Geffen records really dropped the ball, or missed the boat on this band.

Favorite tracks.....

Wash it Away
She Loves Me
X-Ray
Ten Million Years
All the Money in the World
Can't Keep the Rain
Anything


Here are some pretty cool tracks....Not a whole lot out on the YT..... but not a shocker.

Can't Keep the Rain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3tWbQE4JL4


She Loves me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08Uohil8rOA



All the Money in the World

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT_A4lXNJdc



Ten Million Years... a solo version of Paul Durham recording the song.  The regular album version is pretty epic for a ballad.

Listened to it last night.  Enjoyed it, but doubt it's something I'd go back to.

Edit... I was actually just listening to the final couple of songs this morning as I typed this, and I have to add, Gates of the Country was absolutely beautiful.  Excellent song.  THAT, I might go back to.

#9    Rush -  2112

February 1976




Sorry it's been a few days, we're in Mexico on a dive trip. I have a few mins to throw this post in before heading out for the morning dives :)  So it's a short synopsis.

Another triumph for 1976!  What a great album from one of the all time bests.  I first heard this around 79.  I played drums in a jazz band in high school when a fellow drummer had me listen to the intro of 2112.  Talk about floored!  From that point on I was a Rush fan.
