Some great new albums have dropped recently. These three are all I have been playing at the shop.

Possession - Ty Segall
So far this is my album of the year. Been listening to this on repeat

Honky Tony Wisdom - Eric Long
Eric is a really good friend of mine and he has been on absolute fire lately. Great songwriter - little bit of Waylon Jennings and he's been entering his Jimmy Buffet era lately. Lots of good beer drinkin' songs.

Phantom Island - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Their 27th full length album and 1st with a orchestra.

@TENDREL Definitely a beautiful playlist I would love to hear in a shop!

Can you play something like this to your customers ;-)?

[TENDREL]

@Aetas Haha for sure. I've put them on a few times and it's such wild music I feel like I am freakin the scene a little too hard

From Odd Nosdam I do Mirrors, Sisters, and T.I.M.E. a bunch

[Aetas]

T.I.M.E is a gem.

Heaven and Hell is the Best Black Sabbath album, no discussion

"Heaven and Hell is the Best Black Sabbath album, no discussion."

That is a spicy take.

This belongs in unpop ops. A Black Sabbath album without Ozzy is not truly a Black Sabbath album...

That's not an opinion
That's just a fact

[Jett129]

In my opinion the first 2 Black Sabbath albums are up there with several other band’s first 2 albums…Hendrix,Cream,The Doors,Led Zeppelin,of that time period.

[Tago Mago]

@scooter I stand by everything I wrote. The first 5 albums are great, Heaven and Hell is just better

Do you also think Sammy Hagar Van Halen is better than DLR?

[SKT]

I think we can all agree that Gary Cherone era Van Halen is the best.

I saw Van Halen’s maiden “Hagar” voyage when I was 15 at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft. Worth, TX. We had one buddy who could drive and his car broke down on I-30 trying to get to the show. We somehow made it to the concert and the only other memory I have of the show was Sammy climbing around on overhead scaffolding. That was “commercial” era VH

That’s a really good point of reference type question. When I saw Black Sabbath,I was aware of the other musicians,but if they replaced one of them it wouldn’t have dissuaded me from liking the band. If you replace Ozzy,then all of a sudden it’s not what I signed up for. In terms of VH,I thought as long as Eddie was playing guitar it wouldn’t matter who was singing. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Different vibe with Hagar,no where near as much fun. Dave was just a flat out better front man,and I feel that to some degree his intense energy was contagious with the rest of the band as well as the audience. I know you weren’t asking me but you got me thinking.

@Matt I don’t have strong opinions on Van Halen. I do think that Pantera minus Dimebag and Vinnie Paul should not exist. Same goes for Queen minus Freddie Mercury. AC/DC are great in either iteration. As far as I’m concerned they never had another singer

@Jett129 I’m glad you chimed in because you nailed it.

Furthermore, it was just last night I was reading about Wolfgang not playing the final Ozzy show because his “other” band was playing. WTF firstly, second, who’s going to see Van Halen w/o EVH. I mean if Sammy Hagar is Van Halen Lite then no Eddie is basically a cover band.
