Episode 1 of our new Season 17 begins with a look at the "Next 14 Best Albums of All-Time." Every one of these LP's could've easily placed in the "Top 14," so we wanted to give a nice solid look at the "Next 14"! This week, it's the final (and I mean final) one from the Police--"Synchronicity" released in 1983. Great singles; and a Great Album. Enjoy!

We've finally made it! And thanks to YOU--our great listeners!...We have reached our #1 Best Album of All-Time!! This week, we conclude our countdown with the 1971 album, "IV" by Led Zeppelin!! It has been called by other names/symbols over the years, but referred to the most now as just plain "IV." Thank you so much for helping Frankie and me put this list together! Next week, we'll begin to take a look at our "Next 14 Best Albums."

The Beatles return to our countdown of the "14 Top Albums of All-Time" this week; with their final album (and one that we featured previously)--"Abbey Road."

We're getting down to the wire now with our "Best Albums of All-Time"!! This week, it's "Who's Next." The great album released in 1971 features some of the best rockers ever! And next week, Frank & I divulge the #2 Album--the one you voted on. Enjoy!

This week--we're getting closer to the top of "Best 14 Albums of All-Time!!"...And it is the 1971 album by the Stones--"Sticky Fingers." Taken from the best year in Rock according to our Rock Expert, Frank Aust. Next week, we'll be getting down to the wire, with just 3 great albums left. Enjoy!!

This week--Frankie and I continue our countdown of the "14 Best Albums of All-Time," as voted by you! It's the first of 2 by the Beatles!! We are happy to bring you this one--"Revolver." This album represented a real shift in their music, their production techniques, and their entire look. What had started with the previous album "Rubber Soul," and what would be next ("Sgt. Peppers"), "Revolver" was significant. We're almost halfway there!!

This week, one of the very Best!--"Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac. Released in early 1977, this album defined not only the new version of the group, but also sent a clear message to the musical universe that Fleetwood Mac had arrived! Next week, our countdown continues with the 1st of 2 by the Beatles...Which one will it be??...

David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" is our #10-Best of the "All-Time Best Albums," as voted by you--our listeners! Perhaps a surprise entry, "Ziggy" represents an album that checks the boxes of an alternative to the obvious choices. Next week, another great choice by YOU!
