This next group was huge when I was in high school. They were all right but I was never really into them. Prefer the solo work of the band members. At least I don't have their complete works. Nevertheless, with some trepidation, from 1975...FM radio blahblah...
Hey, I just noticed "Journey of the Sorcerer" was used in a radio show version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So that at least is cool.
This has to mostly be a Joe Walsh production.

As it will take me a while to get to the Ws, let me point out now how much I appreciate Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good."
1982. Once I had Vol 1, but I think a tape deck ate it. The cover art makes me think about the acoustic possibilities had the turntable spindle passed through one of the other holes. The great thing about this record is now I can listen to what I already listened to again.
1994. Ever since the last live Eagles record I was thinking: all this world really needs to put matters right is another live Eagles record. And sure enough, everything has been just fine ever since.
*sigh*
2003. Okay, we admit it: those earlier Greatest Hits of the Eagles albums were really just Fair-to-Middlin'est Hits of the Eagles. But this is the real deal, we swears!
The last Eagles album in my collection.

The last Eagles album in my collection.
"Hotel California" remains just as spellbinding the 9,437,621st time you hear it.
Echo and the Bunnymen doing "People are Strange." I don't know why.
It's a shame I've only got two Duane Eddy songs -- "Forty Miles of Bad Road" and "Peter Gunn" -- but there you have it. Someday I'll have to address this deficiency.
Speaking of ELO as I was a little while ago...If you have to have an ELO album (a sentiment open to doubt), it might as well be this best-of from 1995.
Can't decide if ELO is Beatlesesque musicishness or musicesque Beatlesishness.
LOTR movies are elevating whenever times are dismal which, you know....
Certainly faster to listen to these than to watch them. And fewer horse hooves pounding on long afterward in my brain.
That was the only Enigma album I have. I also have a random assortment of cuts from their other albums, so....
Dang it. Forgot to post this album cover while I was listening to this one. Take a look at it now and pretend you don't care as much as you wouldn't have cared an hour or so ago.
There have been, and I can't strauss this enough, a veritable cornucopia of Strausses.
2 Feb 1990 -- #JamesJoyce's birthday -- fortunate enough to record this performance to tape. Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra."
Any "collection" that plays only one of Vivaldi's seasons is a criminal enterprise.
Alas! Can't find album art for this 1992 collection headlined by Tchaikovsky; includes Glinka, Smetana, Dvorak, Brahms, Moussorgsky. Here's a picture of the headliner. Anticipate this the first of several with unknown covers. Picture dates from when he was writing Dune Messiah.
From E to F folder. Starting with three 5th Dimension tunes.
This is a flippin' swell record.
Hey look everybody I found this online. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x263bv2
I don't remember that record being so good.
I just came across another 1970 recording of theirs, unreleased until 2008. It's also sweet: . Ignore the comments and the complicated history of this record. You will not be disappointed.
Sometime I'll find my CD of this; never been able to find it online. A 1998 disc by a great band called Flash Flood. Disc called Warning. They sounded along the lines of SRV.
Besides the Tchaikovsky pieces I've already listened to, I've got lots of different versions of the same, as well as some other random Tchaikovsky bits. Guess I'll tap into that seam now.
Got three London Symphony Orchestra performance albums on the Victoria's Secret imprint. The first one, from 1993, is all Mozart.
The last of this trio, from 1996, is a smorgasbord LSO album called Reveries of Love. No album cover to be found.
