THE BEST ALBUMS OF 1975
Here’s my third retrospective. Based on positive feedback to the two previous “Best Albums” lists from 1976 and 1977, here’s the next edition. Today focuses on 1975. I was 13 years old back then, and just coming of age so far as my interest in music.
Summation — 1975 was a tough year to pick any “best” album. Unlike ’76 and ’77 which (in my opinion) were slam dunk decisions, the best albums of ’75 look interchangeable. Take any of the top-5 on my list and a persuasive case can be made for all of them. Which one is the best just depends on musical taste and bias, and I certainly have mine.

DO YOU MAGATS *STILL* THINK HE CARES ABOUT YOU
Yesterday, Trump SUED the United States Government for $10 billion dollars.
$10,000,000,000. TEN BILLION DOLLARS. That’s a million dollars—ten thousand times. An insane amount of money.

THE BEST ALBUMS OF 1976
I feel like doing something very different today. Since the 2026 Grammy Awards are coming up this weekend, my curiosity plunged me deep down the rabbit hole of a musical retro-rediscovery. The result is this list and ranking of outstanding albums from 50 years ago.
I know — it’s hard to believe all of these albums are now half a century old. Geez.

Today was my first time to eat at Jackson’s.
This is a locals’ bar and grill — with emphasis on the bar. Rustic. Nothing fancy. Straightforward service. Attentiveness is about what you’d expect at a truck stop cafe.
Jackson’s is known for their hamburgers and steaks. Cowboy food.

Yes, Trump said every single word of this statement below, copied verbatim.
And, it wasn’t an isolated malapropism, nor an innocent slip up.
This is willful ignorance and a complete disregard for history. It borders on mental illness. It’s also grotesquely unacceptable that someone so dumb as President of the United States would actually believe this, let alone say it out loud in front of the world:
“I’ve always said, ‘Will they be there, if we ever needed them?’ And that’s really the ultimate test. And I’m not sure of that. I know that we would have been there, or we would be there, but will they be there?…We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that. And they did – they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.”
