Platinum & Gold by Lynyrd Skynyrd Band.  9.3 of 10.

Panama by Van Halen. This was the song that made me a fan of rock n' roll music. I bought the cassette with my own money at K-Mart. K-Mart had a better selection and was cheaper than Sam Goodie and Musicland. 9.4 of 10.

Mendel by Souleyman. Vaguely ethnic music for the kinda ethnic Star Wars characters (Tattoine folks). Meh. Even if it was unintentional,…

Self Titled by Whitney Houston.  9.0 of 10.

Best Of by Gordon Lightfoot. 7.7 of 10.

Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots. There's an unlikable smuggness to a few STP songs. It's not overt or boisterous though. Think of a Frances from Pee Wee's Big Adventure only skinny and capable of being a decent human from time to time. That's what I think of this STP song. 7.3 of 10.

Soul Singing by The Black Crowes. The 40-year-old me is a full on fan…
