I think it’s safe to say for most of the artists listed to this point that once you’ve dipped your toes into their waters, you’ll want to explore the whole pool, or in some cases, ocean.

Made a trip to Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie NY today. Made a big for me, but overall small, dent in the list! Most of these were either from the list or list adjacent. Have a few more being mailed, so I’ll update later.

Most of these albums all classic rock radio staples. I could just flip the dial on my receiver over to 102.5 KZOK and here a good chunk of these this afternoon.

I’ve actually slowed down grabbing new albums due to FOMO and have concentrated on buying more classics - they always seem to get more spins out of me.

Yeah, its certainly a tug-of-war with me. I really enjoy finding new and exciting things but also the classics are “classic” for a reason, ya know?

I see some nice titles in there!
Not sure if anyone mentioned Paul Simon Graceland, and Alan Parsons Eye In The Sky btw ?

Even though I've never heard it, let's stick Frampton Comes Alive on the list. Also, I know Clapton is a dobber, Disraeli Gears by Cream is another shout.
Let's go slightly off the standards, and go for some Scottish Classic Rock:
Stealers Wheel - Stealers Wheel (you need Stuck in the Middle With You on vinyl)
Maggie Bell - Queen of the Night
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Next.

Are The Bay City Rollers classic rock? And there’s the whole “is Rod Stewart Scottish” debate.Lets not forget Donovan
Re: bay city rollers: yes. At least I have them in my classic rock section of my collection.
Re: Rod Stewart: Tough call. Is David Byrne Scottish? Is Jackson Browne German? Is the Band Canadian? American?
The list goes on!

The fact he wants to be is good enough for me.
