Produced by Roy Thomas Baker. This album may sound squeaky clean and spotless, but The Cars is a great debut album filled with great songs. The real secret weapon here is Elliot Easton with what are easily the greatest guitar licks of the New Wave era. Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr split the lead vocal duties, and Ocasek's songwriting is flawless. This is one of the top albums of New Wave, and a staggering debut effort. This album still sounds great today, and my collection would be naked without it.

Produced by Robbie Robertson. It was supposed to have been the last show by The band, but they couldn't keep away. Except for Robbie Robertson. But regardless, this is the way to go out. Invite people like Van and Neil and Neil and Joni and Eric and Muddy and maybe Bob Dylan, too, to help send you on your way in style. This is how I'd like to end a band someday. With a big Scorsese production and the best musicians in the business stopping by to pay tribute by singing along with the band. Simply glorious.

Produced by Bob Seger, Punch Andrews, and The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. The follow up to Night Moves, a pretty daunting task for Bob Seger, was a resounding success. Seger's formula for success, great rock and roll songs guided by strong piano and gritty vocals, continues here with a lineup that includes "Hollywood Nights", "we've Got Tonight", "Still The Same" and "Old Time Rock And Roll". Proving he could handle nationwide fame on more than just a single album, Seger gives notice with this one that he's here to stay. Lucky for us.

Produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker. Jazz is the last album from the adventurous (and their best) period. It's also criminally overlooked when rating their albums, forgotten and unfairly ranked low in comparison with their other 70's efforts. One great song after another, with the production of Roy Thomas Baker for the last time...and vocally, some of Freddie Mercury's best work. The end of an era, but what a way to go out. Discover the joys in this album...it will become one of your favorites.

A good choice for best album of 1978! Although the concert is Thanksgiving day in 1976.
