Neil Young - On The Beach

Come on who doesn't like Neil Young??
He is one of those artists that has a diverse selection to pick from, I know that this album would fall into what you would expect from Neil. It has some good songs on it and keeps his themes of political awareness, love, and the environment. Neil has always had the ability to incorporate the best imagery into his songs and make a person think.
This album was released in 74' and is ready for you to go pick it up. Hope you enjoy it.

The Clash - London Calling

Who doesn't enjoy a good Clash song??
On this album alone there are so many good ones that a fella has a hard time not listening to them over and over again. This album was released in 79' in Britain, although it was released in 80' in the U.S.. Since I live in the commonwealth I will go with the 79' to make it an album of the 70's.
So the album has all the key themes in it for a steamy bowl of angst like unemployment, drug use, racial conflict, and becoming an adult.
By far my most favorite song on the album and arguably of all time is "The Guns Of Brixton" damn this is a fine song and.  I am a big Clash fan and in a previous post I talked about the "Give em enough album" and all the resources that you can watch to get an idea of the band and all they have done... Sure the stuff is about Joe Strummer, but it still gives you an idea of what they went through.
So enjoy this album like I do. 

Gotta go, I hear London calling.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory

So this album was released in 70' and if you have ever watched a movie about the Vietnam War then you would have heard a CCR song for sure. This is a good listening album and there are allot of great songs on it.
I know growing up I heard a lot of CCR songs and this album has quite a few of the songs that were popular for the band. Such as "Lookin Out My Back Door", Run through the Jungle", "Who'll stop the rain", and "I Heard it Through the Grapevine".
For me this album is one that when you get in the car and head out on the Highway for a long road trip it seems to fit really well.
I think you will enjoy this album and the Southern references from a bunch of guys from San Fransisco.
