We're starting another trilogy of videos centered around an album, the album of today's focus is The Who's 1973 album Quadrophenia. We dive into the history of the album, the subsequent tour, and the various revivals and remasters of the album throughout the years. We then take a look at the album cover. Come back for Part 2, where we will talk about Disc 1 of this legendary double album!

Happy New Year! It's 2024! However before we bring in the new year, it's important to reflect on the previous year and say thank you and farewell to those musicians, actors, and others who we lost last year in 2023 and that is what this video is all about.

Today we're honoring a man who sadly left us 20 years ago this year, and a man who was close to getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year but sadly wasn't, Warren Zevon. We're talking about his 1978 album, Excitable Boy, his most successful album in his career which includes his best known song Werewolves of London.

It's April again and our third year in a row where we are going to look at the lyrics that have "fooled" us over the years. What are some of your favorite misunderstood lyrics? Don't forget to check out Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3 if you haven't yet!

This is my annual video that before looking forward to the new year, we reflect on the previous year and give one last thank you and farewell to those we lost last year. I have 5 categories: Miscellaneous, Politics, Film/TV, and Music.

To celebrate the artists who got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the last couple years, I picked an album by one of those artists to talk about in my next video. I picked Judas Priest and their 1980 album, British Steel. This is Priest's best known album and one of the albums that helped shape heavy metal in the 1980s and is still considered one of the best heavy metal albums of all time.

Due to a busy 2021, I wasn't able to talk about the artists who got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, so I'm doing double duty and talk about those who inducted this year and last year. As always, next time I'll pick an album by one of these artists I mentioned and talk about it in my next video, but what artist will I pick and what album will I pick? Find out next time!

We return to Jefferson Airplane's classic 1967 album, Surrealistic Pillow with some extra facts. These facts could be a correction of something I said in the original video, new facts I've learned since making the original video, or facts that simply didn't fit in the original video.

We return to Deep Purple's classic 1972 album, Machine Head with some extra facts that didn't make it into the original video, whether they were corrections I said in the previous video, new facts I've learned since the original video, or facts that didn't fit in the original video.

I've been working on this for a while now, The Who's Who's Next. This album turned 50 years old earlier this year and in my opinion this is one of the greatest albums of 1971 and so I just had to talk about it! As usual we dive into the history, album cover, and the songs but we also dive into the history of the unreleased Lifehouse album, which eventually became this album.

To celebrate April Fools Day this month, this video acts as a followup to a video I made last year that takes a look at various songs where we are "fooled" by the lyrics, as in certain lyrics in a song that we often misintepret. Some are well known misintepretations, some aren't but it's still funny to look into what some people think they hear in music. It's important to laugh every now and then and I hope this video will help with that.

Congratulations everyone! We survived 2020! Last year was pretty rough but it's important before moving on to a new year, that we reflect on the previous year. The good, the bad, and the ugly that happened last year and take a brief pause to think of those who didn't make it into the new year. That is what this video is about, remembering some important people who have entertained us in different ways throughout our lifetime. Rest in Peace.

Before closing out 2020, I have one more album I want to talk about. This album is currently the second best selling album of all time, and had its 40th anniversary earlier this year. I'm of course talking about AC/DC's Back in Black.

In this video, we take a look at Black Sabbath's second album, Paranoid. This album is considered to be one of the first heavy metal albums ever made. It celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier this year.

This month will be the 50th anniversary of the day we lost Jimi Hendrix. I wanted to reflect on his first album with this episode of Awesome Albums. We take a look at The Experience's debut album, Are You Experienced, released in 1967. This video not only covers the songs released on the American release of the album, but also the three songs present only on the UK version of the album, as well as 3 songs that appear as B-sides to the album's singles.

Today we look at The Rolling Stones' 1974 album It's Only Rock 'n Roll. While they feel they were just coasting on the sucess of their previous albums, you have to admit the songs are still pretty good.

Welcome to Top "Ten" Tuesdays, a weekly top 10 list uploaded every Tuesday (yes I know I'm a couple days late), normally as a written article on the website, but I felt the best way to present this list is to also do a video. If you prefer to read the article, come on over to the Awesome Albums website:

Last time I said I would pick an album by an artist who got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. I decided to go with The Doobie Brothers and their 1976 album Takin’ It to the Streets. This album was significant to The Doobie Brothers’ history due to their change in sound beginning with that album but some believe that this album is what developed the sound in the mid to late 1970s, giving it a pretty important place in the history and evolution of music.
